The course covers a variety of asset pricing topics and models. The first part of the course deals with representative agent models in economies with a single risky asset. The second part of the course introduces heterogeneity along the investor side or the asset side. We cover models of learning, asymmetric information, differences in beliefs, market segmentation, idiosyncratic risk, agency conflicts, and others.
