FIN 5309 - Financial Econometrics


This course equips students with the essential statistical and econometric tools required for modern financial analysis. This course is intended for students with at least a semester of introductory statistics under their belt. Starting with a review of probability theory, the curriculum progresses through simple and multiple linear regressions, model assumptions, and stationary time-series analysis (AR, MA, ARMA). Students will apply these concepts to real-world financial datasets using R/RStudio, while integrating generative AI tools to enhance data processing, code efficiency, and results interpretation. Emphasis is placed on developing the professional judgment necessary to critically audit AI-assisted outputs and maintain analytical rigor in financial industry research.

 

MSF students only.
