Teaching Experience

Instructor Summer Session II 2009: Econ 174 "Financial Risk Management"

Course description: This class covers pricing theory for options and futures.  The class begins with futures pricing theory motivated by simple no-arbitrage conditions. We then move to the binomial pricing model for options and then to the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Portfolio risk management via "the Greeks" is covered at the end of the course.  Teaching evaluation available here.
