  1. Asian Markets

    Hi All I heard the head of Morgan Stanleys asia desk in NY say that if you work in asia, you will become MD 5 years faster than in NY/London (more or less). But I was wondering: if you are working for a major investment bank lige MS or GS, what kind of jobs can you get in India/China...
  2. Testing a model - MatLab??

    Hey Guys I have a question that I hope you can help me with. I have made a model for stock data. More specificaly, I have made a cointegration model, which I have specified pretty well, looking at the relationship between sectoral stock indices from 1926 to 2007. I would then like to test...
  3. Who actually uses econometrics?

    Hi Guys As the header sounds - who does that? I mean, in banks, quants do programming and modelling, structurers do a little econometrics but not much, and traders certainly don't. Who, except researchers, use that? And who do economic analysis? I know it might sound stupid, but I have never...

  8. Optimal courses for quants!

    Hi Since my last thread died a slow dead, I'll try asking another more general question. I have read many threads about whether one should do physics or maths etc etc, but none were very specific. If one has the desire to become a quant, what courses should one do (perhaps divide into...
  9. Princeton MFin Princeton MFin course selection

    Hi y'all - this is a somewhat long post, but hope you'll help me out anyways! I've been admitted to Pricenton's MFin program next year. I am going to do it in one year, so I need to work together a plan so I can get the most out of the program. If someone out there has done the program, please...
