Concepts, measurement methodologies and mitigation strategies will be discussed. <br>Thorsten Lehnert (30 TU) deals with the ways in which market risks are quantified and managed by (financial) institutions. It suggests a relatively sophisticated approach to risk measurement and risk modeling. We document key features of risky asset returns and then construct tractable statistical models that capture these features. Among the topics covered is the nature of financial risks, the features of asset returns, how firms quantify and manage their market risk exposure, modelling volatility and correlations, and managing option portfolios.<br>Sergio Scandizzo (10 TU) will show how operational risk can be quantified and explain how corporate governance (audit, internal controls, risk management) can be used to effectively manage operational risk.<br>Boris Klaessens (16 TU) will teach the part of the module that will enable students to understand how banks and insurance companies manage the commitments they have on both sides of the balance sheet. The business models of these institutions as well as the reporting features of their assets, liabilities and financial results are presented. Sensitivity of such items to external factors is investigated with a special focus on interest rate risk. Models to measure exposition towards these risk factors as well as to analyze, manage and mitigate them are described.<br>                    <\/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                        Assessment Modality<br>Combined assessment<br>Assessment Tasks<br>Type of Assessment<br>Grading Scheme<br>Weight for final Grade<br>Task 1 (Thomas SCHROEDER)<br>Presentation<br>\u00a0<br>Choose an item.<br>30%<br>Specific Assessment Rules<br>Team Performance<br>\u00a0<br>Task 2 (Thomas SCHROEDER)<br>Presentation<br>\u00a0<br>Choose an item.<br>35%<br>Specific Assessment Rules<br>Individual Performance<br>\u00a0<br>Task 3 (Thomas SCHROEDER)<br>Other, please specify<br>\u00a0<br>Choose an item.<br>35%<br>Specific Assessment Rules<br>any other classroom performance, such as QA related to team presentations, discussing in context to my lecture<br>\u00a0<br>Total<br>\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>30\/86<br>\u00a0<br>Task 1 (Thorsten LEHNERT)<br>Presentation<br>\u00a0<br>Choose an item.<br>70%<br>Specific Assessment Rules<br>Individual performance<br>\u00a0<br>Task 2 (Thorsten LEHNERT)<br>Active participation<br>\u00a0<br>Choose an item.<br>30%<br>Specific Assessment Rules<br>N\/A<br>\u00a0<br>Total<br>\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>30\/86<br>\u00a0<br>Task 1 (Sergio SCANDIZZO)<br>Presentation<br>\u00a0<br>Choose an item.<br>70%<br>Specific Assessment Rules<br>Individual performance<br>\u00a0<br>Task 2 (Sergio SCANDIZZO)<br>Active participation<br>\u00a0<br>Choose an item.<br>30%<br>Specific Assessment Rules<br>N\/A \u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>Total<br>\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>10\/86<br>\u00a0<br>Task 1 (Boris KLAESSENS)<br>Take-home exam<br>\u00a0<br>Choose an item.<br>75%<br>Specific Assessment Rules<br>Practical part<br>\u00a0<br>Task 2 (Boris KLAESSENS)<br>Written exam<br>\u00a0<br>Choose an item.<br>25%<br>Specific Assessment Rules<br>Theoretical part<br>\u00a0<br>Total<br>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 16\/86<br>\u00a0<br>Grand TOTAL<br>86\/86\u00a0\u00a0<br>\u00e0<br>0-20<br>\u00a0                    <\/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><p> John C.

  The course aims highlighting how deep risk management is embedded in the daily management of an insurance company. Insurance companies operate in a highly regulated market as well as a highly competitive market, where risks accepted on the balance sheet require adequate solvency capital to be put aside, providing policyholders with high protection. The Solvency II EU Directive entered into force on 1 January 2016. This regulatory framework sets out strengthened requirements around capital, corporate governance, risk management and public disclosure requirements in all EU authorized (re)insurance undertakings.                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Course learning outcomes<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p> Understand and explain:<br>o How much risk is the core business of insurance companies<br>o How risks are accounted for on the balance sheet of insurance companies<br>o The risk landscape surrounding the insurance business<br>o How insurance companies identify, quantify, mitigate, monitor and report their risks<br>o The EU regulatory framework in force<br> Gain a comprehensive and insightful description of risk management techniques widely used within the insurance industry<br> Understand how the decision makers manage the company balance sheet in compliancy with the risk appetite, given the risk profile of a typical insurance company<br><\/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>Description<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        The course will be articulated around 5 chapters:<br>1.

Financial engineers work at the intersection between data science and finance.

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. With its industry-oriented approach, the curriculum equips students for careers in real estate asset management, fund management, and related fields by emphasizing the skills and perspectives most valued by employers in the sector.<br>                    <\/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                        <ul><br><li>Oral exam (45%)<\/li><br><li>Presentation (45%)<\/li><br><li>Active participation (10%)<\/li><br><\/ul>                    <\/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><br>A comprehensive reading list of recent academic publications, working papers and market reports, is available from the instructors.<br><\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>            \n<div class=\"accordion__item\">\n    <h4 class=\"accordion__header\">\n        <button\n                type=\"button\"\n                class=\"accordion__button collapsed\"\n                aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                data-bs-target=\"#accordion-panel-6a6296e5c7bad\"\n        >\n            <span class=\"accordion__title\">\n                3.E6.Statistics in Risk Management using R &#8211;

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?<br>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.

well-being and its determinants. <br>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. <br>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

research methods in finance and economics to approach these questions, and interpreting results relative to the current state of the art.The course is centered around a set of research projects in Finance and Economics that students carry out in small research teams. 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. Execution stage during which research teams plan and conduct their chosen research projects.<\/p><p>3. Student presentation sessions at each stage of the execution of the research projects:<\/p>3.1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Research idea\/question, motivation behind it and current state of the art.3.2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Research methodology, empirical setup, development of hypotheses, overview of the data needed to address the research question.Execution and analysis of results, potential further areas of inquiry, conclusion.                    <\/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>60% Seminar paper<\/p><br><p>30% Presentation<\/p><br><p>10% Discussion<\/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                        Academic articles that represent the key references for the set of research projects distributed ahead of the course.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>            \n<div class=\"accordion__item\">\n    <h4 class=\"accordion__header\">\n        <button\n                type=\"button\"\n                class=\"accordion__button collapsed\"\n                aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                data-bs-target=\"#accordion-panel-6a6296e5cbc58\"\n        >\n            <span class=\"accordion__title\">\n                4.E2 Financial Econometrics                <span class=\"accordion__data\">\n                    <span class=\"accordion__data__item\">\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__name\">ECTS credits:<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__value\">\n                            5                        <\/span>\n                    <\/span>\n                    <span class=\"accordion__data__item\">\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__name\">Course code:<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"accordion__data__value\">\n                            MScFE_BK-22                        <\/span>\n                    <\/span>\n                <\/span>\n            <\/span>\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-down icon--lg\"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-down\"><\/use><\/svg>        <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n\n    <div id=\"accordion-panel-6a6296e5cbc58\" class=\"accordion__collapse collapse\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-module-6a6296e5cbc1f\">\n        <div class=\"accordion__body p-0\">\n            <ul class=\"list-highlighted\">\n                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Details<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <ul>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Course title:<\/span> 4.E2 Financial Econometrics<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Number of ECTS:<\/span> 5<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Course code:<\/span> MScFE_BK-22<\/li>\n                            <li><span class=\"text-dark font-heading font-bold\">Module(s):<\/span> Module 4.E Special Topics in Finance and Economics &#8211;

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.
