First, we review the empirical facts on household wealth and inequality, as well as the rational and behavioural aspects underlying consumer financial decision-making. We then study current household financial products and the competitive landscape in credit, investment, and advisory markets. A particular emphasis is placed on residential real estate as both a key asset and a source of debt for households, highlighting its role in wealth accumulation, risk exposure, and financial vulnerability. We also cover innovations in consumer financial products and the regulation of household finance, and provide an overview of recent research on residential real estate markets, including price dynamics, housing affordability, and the impact of macroeconomic and regulatory shocks.<br> The course includes a group project in which students apply the concepts covered in class and deliver a presentation. We introduce two key data sources: one on household finance and one on residential real estate. These datasets are discussed in class and Stata tutorials guide students on how to prepare their dataset for their own project and how to apply basic estimation techniques on household surveys or on real-estate data collected from online advertisements.<br>The commercial real estate module explores the main commercial real estate (CRE) categories, core investment fundamentals and key real estate fund management practices. Students will build a foundation of the CRE sector, navigate the investment process, and gain insight into how institutional investors manage real estate funds. The course is designed to bridge academic theory with real-world application, reflecting current market realities and the decision-making frameworks used by investment firms and fund managers.

Financial engineers work at the intersection between data science and finance. The first financial engineers were Fischer Black, Robert Merton, and Myron Scholes, infamous for their options pricing model known as the Black-Scholes Model. This model won the Nobel prize in economics and is the foundation for the explosion in derivative markets.\u00a0                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        The final grade of the course will be derived from the grade for participation (25%), the presentation (25%) and the grade for the research paper (50%).                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>Literature:<\/p><br>\u00a0<br>\u201cStatistics and Data Analysis for Financial Engineering\u201d, 2nd edition by David Ruppert and David <br>S.

Each team focuses on an individual research project and carries it out along all its stages, from identifying a research question and motivating its relevance to choosing appropriate methodology to address it, executing the analysis, and presenting and interpreting the results.The course is structured as follows:<p>1. Introductory session on a selected set of research topics, providing guidance on identifying each respective research question, on the appropriate research methodology and empirical strategy, the respective data to use for the empirical analysis, and related literature.<\/p><p>2.

Each part includes both lectures lectures and practical case work in groups. The practical case works, as well as the lectures are offered by a residing institutional \/ industry partner of this course. Students are asked to provide solutions to the presented case studies, based on a problem-based discovery. <br>The first block is concentrating on the notion \u201cFinancial architecture\u201d in the context of asset management and administration. It discusses the disruptive effects of peer2peer technologies, such as blockchains, through industry-strength case studies. Below, the skeleton of this block is provided as follows:The second block is concentrating on the notion \u201cadvanced data analytics\u201d in the context of asset management and administration. In an ever-changing environment, Investment Banks face many challenges: regulatory compliance, business model review and increased competition. At the same time, the financial sector is witnessing a huge digital transformation, particularly with the advent of new technologies. Artificial intelligence, Distributed Ledger Technology, API and Big data, how can new tools bring solutions to financial institutions?This block would kick-off with a lecture on investment banking. Through its organizational structure and its businesses, themes common to the world of banking and investment will be discussed. Case studies are introduced and discussed in order to propose a digital solution in response to the case problem at hand.

After an introduction to the various methods proposed for the measurement of well-being, we will focus on its determinants and explore the relationship with income (including the Easterlin paradox), social position and mobility, as well as the role of adaptation and expectations. We will then move on to discuss societal well-being and the recent proposals to go beyond GDP as a measure of progress. Last, we will show how measures of individual well-being can be used to shed new light on important economic concepts such as income inequality, gender disparities and policy evaluation.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>Seminar Paper (95%)<\/p><br><p>Active participation (5%)<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Recommended literature:<br>Balestra, C., Boarini, R.

Increasingly, the processing of that data is subject to various kinds of legal requirements. Some of those requirements, such as those relating to information that is associated or can be associated with specific individuals (personal data), are meant to safeguard individuals and groups from potential risks related to the processing of their data. Others, such as data portability and interoperability requirements, are meant to maximize the positive externalities from data collection and usage. Amid this network of legal entanglements, professionals need to be able to identify their legal duties and the best ways to complying with them during their work activities.<br>This course aims to provide an overview of key legal concepts that are relevant for professionals who engage in activities involving the processing of personal data, with particular emphasis on the specific challenges that emerge in the context of official statistics. In particular, the course addresses the following concepts:<br>-The landscape of EU data law: personal data protection and other data-related pieces of legislation<br>-The scope of personal data protection: when are data protection obligations applicable?<br>-General rules and principles applicable to data processing<br>-Rights of the data subject<br>-Data protection by design and by default<br>-Cybersecurity as a data protection concern<br>-Special regime for research data<br>-Responsibility for data misuse                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Short readings will be shared with the students before the course.
