FIN-449 Advanced Quantitative Sustainable Finance (3)

Finance plays an important role in the transition toward a sustainable, yet prosperous, economy. This course introduces a new and intuitive framework that balances financial and non-financial objectives. The course studies the challenges and opportunities that investors, firms, and governments face when considering both objectives. Students are trained in quantitative applications of the framework, ranging from navigating through a diverse set of sustainability data to optimizing portfolios with student-specific environmental, social, and governance (ESG)/sustainability constraints, using Excel, Python, and artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Crosslist: FIN-649. Prerequisite: FIN-365 or KSB-221.
