FIN480.4 : * Insurance Economics (Tsinghua U) *
Description:
Taught in English The objective of this course is to provide students with the modern fundamentals of the theory of insurance. We will develop the basic microeconomic models for settings in which economic agents are faced with uncertainty. A particular emphasis is given to insurance markets as means of transferring risk and wealth. The models we discuss, however, are adaptable to many other situations in finance and economics. May also be registered as ECN 480. For SU students, this course counts as a finance or management elective (note: SU finance majors are limited to one finance elective taken through SU Abroad Centers, however students may take additional courses to count as management electives).
Pre-req: Introductory microeconomics course.
Class taught by Tsingua's School of Economics & Management and may not be available every semester. Tsinghua's exam schedule for this course may require students to stay beyond the regular SU Beijing program end-date.
