Empirical Analysis of Stock Markets

Seminar

taught by Prof. Dr. S. Perminov & Mr. K. Andreyev (Beneficious Investment Management)

To arrange your individual meeting, please contact Mr. Javdat Umarov.

The course accounts for 6 ETCS.

 

Seminar Concept

This seminar series is structured as a continuous research project (now offered for the 2nd time). Since a seminar is anticipated to be offered every semester, its design provides flexibility for students in organizing and planning their research. A student can select a financial research topic from a list.

Students are expected to develop and backtest an investment strategy in Quantopian platform. For more information about Quantopian see here

Students are expected to deliver:

  • a write-up of the research topic (e.g. a market phenomenon)

  • calculations and backtests supporting the write-up, in a form of Quantopian research notebooks and algorithms (compilable and documented code)

  • presentation summarizing the research findings.

To have a smooth introduction into a Quantopian environment students are recommended to study tutorials and relevant lectures prepared by Quantopian. As this is a continuous seminar which results in accumulation of both methods and findings, students are advised to as much as possible build on previous research done by other students, including documents, research notebooks, algorithms and project notes. This will facilitate a further knowledge accumulation. Students will communicate online and offline with the project supervisors (Beneficious Investment Management) and other students on project-related issues.

Current list of research topics
