Fundamentals of Financial Data Analysis teaches cadets the principles of financial data, the tools of understanding financial information, and the application of econometric methods to analyze financial markets, estimate relationships, and make informed finance-related decisions. Cadets will use companies' and market financial data to measure performance and assess financial position. Additionally, cadets will be exposed to the fundamentals of valuing equity, debt, and diverse investment instruments. To accomplish this, students will explore various econometric techniques commonly used in financial research, such as linear regression, time series analysis, and forecasting. The course places emphasis on understanding the theoretical underpinnings of these methods and their practical implementation in asset pricing, evaluating stock performance and volatility, and risk management.
