Title: TidyFinance: Empirical asset pricing in R
Date:
Thursday, October 13th 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)
Speaker:
Patrick Weiss, PhD, CFA is a postdoctoral researcher at Vienna University of Economics and Business. Jointly with Christoph Scheuch and Stefan Voigt, Patrick wrote the open-source book www.tidy-finance.org , which serves as the basis for this workshops. Visit his webpage for additional information.
Description:
This workshop explores empirical asset pricing and combines explanations of theoretical concepts with practical implementations. The course relies on material available on www.tidy-finance.org and proceeds in three steps: (1) We dive into the most used data sources and show how to work with data from WRDS, forming the basis for the analysis. We also briefly introduce some other possible sources of financial data. (2) We show how to implement the capital asset pricing model in rolling-window regressions. (3) We introduce the widely used method of portfolio sorts in empirical asset pricing. During the workshop, we will combine some theoretical insights with hands-on implementations in R.
