授業の概要 Course Overview
Misson Statementとの関係性 / Connection to our Mission Statement
Aligning with the NUCB Undergraduate School's mission, this course will assist participants in acquiring creative thinking, an exploratory attitude, and data analytical skills to solve practical and financial problems.
授業の目的（意義） / Importance of this course
When analyzing financial data, such as stock market returns, interest rates or exchange rates, and commodity or asset prices, there are specific statistical issues that need to be addressed. This course will focus on the empirical techniques which are mostly used in the analysis of financial markets and how they are applied to real data. Key characteristics of financial data, concepts of volatility and risk, time-varying volatility modelling, and relationships among financial series will be the topics covered in this course. The knowledge and techniques obtained in this course are widely applied in the public as well as financial sectors. This course also teaches empirical study using the statistics and econometrics software Stata.
到達目標 / Achievement Goal
Participants will deepen their understanding of the fundamental methods of quantitative analysis of financial data and will be able to develop and apply these methods to analyze real-world financial data problems.

Course Prerequisites
• It is desirable that participants have a basic understanding of mathematical foundations and statistical foundations. These can be found in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 in the textbook. In addition, participants will also need to review the concepts pf parameter estimation, confidence interval and hypothesis testing. Related knowledge can be found in Chapter 3 in the textbook.
• A laptop computer with Stata installed is required for financial data analysis and case studies throughout the course. Stata 14 or above editions are acceptable. BE, SE and MP editions can all satisfy the requirements of the course. Introductory support will be provided by the instructor for those students who have not used Stata before.
• It is recommended that participants spend at least 3 hours of preparation time on each case, including the fundamental knowledge provided in the casebook. Participants who wish to gain more in-depth insights may read the relevant chapters of the textbook, but the course will be based on the content in the casebook.
Class Discussion
• Through class discussions and the instructor's comments, participants will understand the principles of quantitative analysis methods. In the subsequent case study, participants will be able to apply these methods to solve real-world financial data problems.
• The key points and difficulties in the fundamental knowledge and case study will be fully discussed, and the steps of case analysis and financial data analysis will also be discussed in detail.
• Please note that the purpose of this course is to develop the participants' financial data analysis and hands-on skills. The focus of this course is not on mathematical derivations, although they may appear in the casebook.
