Department of Economics Course Recommendation AY2021-22, Term 1 CLC9005 Finance and Politics (CRN270) This course introduces students to the nature of financial institutions, corporate ownership structure and corporate governance through case studies, anecdotal evidence and academic papers. Students will be expected to develop practical perspectives on financial policies and government regulations, and be able to articulate implications for future financial development and practices in both Hong Kong and worldwide. ECO3202 Intermediate Macroeconomics (CRN380) This course provides a modern convergence for intermediate macroeconomics both in the short run and in the long run. It analyses the issues on economic fluctuations and examines how the macroeconomic policies can be used to stabilise the economy such as reducing unemployment and controlling inflation. It also investigates the theory and empirics of economic growth. Further, this course offers an introduction to open-economy macroeconomics and the microeconomic foundation of macroeconomics. ECO4316 Industrial Economics and Competition Policy Industrial Economics is concerned with the workings of markets and industries, in particular the way firms compete with each other. This course provides the students with a good understanding of how economists analyze competitive strategies of business firms and the basic knowledge about competition policy. We will discuss several contemporary issues including: • Should Amazon be allowed to sell on its own marketplace? • (How) Do HK property developers collude? • What is the best way to promote innovations (e.g. COVID-19 vaccine development)? ECO4323 Financial Economics (CRN402) The purpose of this course is to provide a rigorous, hands-on introduction to the science (some would say art) of investing in marketable securities in global financial markets. It begins by discussing the contemporary investment environment including institutional aspects, and market efficiency. The course then moves on to modern investment processes, including in-depth discussion of asset valuation, portfolio theory and applications, linear factor models and applications, dynamic asset allocation strategies, portfolio performance measurement, and the use of derivatives.
