This specialization employs economic theory to evaluate how time, risk (uncertainty), opportunity costs and information can create incentives or disincentives for a particular decision in the financial market. Moreover, this course will train students to do research and analyze economic issues on the use and distribution of resources in markets in which decisions are made under uncertainty. Students will learn how financial decisions must often take into account future events, whether those be related to individual stocks, portfolios or the market as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Prospectus:<br \/><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usep.edu.ph\/saec\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2021\/09\/MFE-Final-Prospectus_s.2019.pdf\">Monetary and Financial Economics<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-317459 kc_row kc_row_inner\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-279166 kc_col-sm-4 kc_column_inner kc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"kc_wrapper kc-col-inner-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-280440 kc_text_block\"><h3><strong>LIST OF CORE FACULTY<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Mr. Michael L.
