"Financial Market Decisions" is a
6 ECTS/4 contact hours mandatory module in the first semester of our
International Business and Finance master programme. Students understand
the essentials of mathematical decision theory as well as the
psychological aspects of market participant behavior. They critically
reflect the concepts for performance and risk measurement which are used
to support decision taking in financial markets. They understand how to
implement the concepts with real market data in the programming
language R.
