Contents

During this course we will tackle different key issues related with financial economics. The main goal is to provide students an overall picture of what does behavioral finance and credit risk. In order to reach that goal we have designed the course as two research seminars. This means that sessions will essentially evolve around the presentation and discussion of some selected key papers. Students are expected to play an active role in the seminar. Consequently students are asked to present the papers and to participate in the subsequent discussion.
