The course Asset Pricing I will provide students with the main theoretical and analytical tools to study and understand the economics of financial markets and portfolio choices. After learning the different structure that financial markets can take and the key functions that these perform, learners will analyze how financial markets affect saving and investment decisions in an economy with no uncertainty. Then, learners will be introduced to expected utility theory, which will provide them with the key analytical tools to study choices under uncertainty. These tools will then be used to model and analyze portfolio choices: first, learners will study the so-called canonical portfolio problem, that is, the problem of an investor who has to choose how to allocate their wealth between a safe and a risky asset; then, they will study portfolio choices that involve multiple risky assets. The analysis of portfolio choices will allow learners to characterize and determine investors’ optimal demand for risky assets, which will lay the foundation for the analysis of the Capital Asset Pricing Model, a milestone for asset pricing and financial economics. The analysis of the CAPM will finally teach learners how to characterize equilibrium returns and asset prices in financial markets, also understanding the key forces that govern these key variables.

In this Specialization, we show you techniques to increase price realization and maximize profits. Learn from Boston Consulting Group's global pricing experts and University of Virginia Darden School of Business faculty, who share the frameworks, tips and tools we use in our business and research environments. We will look at pricing through BCG's proprietary and time-tested three “lenses”—cost and economics, customer value, and competition—to build your understanding of the strategic power of pricing. You’ll leave the Specialization with a portfolio-building presentation that demonstrates your ability to price strategically.

Learn a proven methodology for developing a pricing strategy and increasing customer perceptions of value so you can justify higher prices and boost margins.

The course covers several advanced topics in asset pricing, trading-off risks and return, and portfolio optimization. More precisely, students will first analyze two relevant extensions of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and learn how to determine the corresponding equilibrium in financial markets. Next, they will learn how to estimate empirically the risk-return relationship predicted by the Capital Asset Pricing Model. Students will also analyze two pricing models alternative to the CAPM. In the Arbitrage Pricing Theory, they will learn how to determine assets expected returns based on multiple risk factors and absence of arbitrage opportunities. In the Consumption Capital Asset Pricing Model, instead, they will learn how to solve the investors' joint consumption/investment decision problem and how to compute the equilibrium asset prices and expected returns in a dynamic pure exchange economy. Finally, the course concludes with a focus on the pricing of fixed income instruments.
