Abstract

This course covers topics in dynamic optimization methods which might be relevant for applied business research: investment decisions, pricing etc. It discovers and explores cases both in discrete and in continuous time. The methodological approaches address methods in dynamic programming and optimal solutions across infinite/finite time horizons. The course illustrates how dynamic optimization is useful for business strategies development on a rigorous analytical base

Learning Objectives

As a result of successful learning students are: 1. to differentiate dynamic optimisation methods 2. to distinguish situations where dynamic optimisation methods can be used 3. to apply dynamic optimization techniques for different business problems 4. to construct Bellman equation and find close-form solution if possible 5. to estimate Bellman equation

Expected Learning Outcomes

Be able to design new courses within the professional field which could be also based on finished research theoretical and empirical projects
Be able to conduct research activity in an educational institutions and management of students' research activity
