Course Syllabus

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.
