金融经济学包括微观投资理论，不确定性经济学，金融市场和机构的作用，金融产品，公司和市场的监管，公司理论以及公司治理。该领域在社会科学中是独一无二的，因为它对实践产生了直接而重大的影响。有效的市场假设，投资组合选择，风险分析和或有权益定价对资本预算和资金管理的影响显而易见。这种影响既基于理论的发展，又基于对假设的经验检验，这些假设通过大量且越来越容易获得的相关数据而变得可行。金融学的博士课程旨在为学生提供经济学，统计学和数学方面的深厚课程背景。除了授课外，Goizueta还设有广泛的研讨会和讲习班计划，Go
Financial economics encompasses micro-investment theory, economics of uncertainty, the role of financial markets and institutions, the regulation of financial products, firms and markets, the theory of the firm, and corporate governance. The field is unique among the social sciences in that it has had a direct and significant influence on practice. The impact of the efficient market hypothesis, portfolio selection, risk analysis, and contingent-claim pricing on capital budgeting and money management is clearly evident. This impact is based both on developments of theory and on empirical tests of hypotheses that are made feasible by a large and increasingly accessible body of relevant data. The doctoral program in Finance is designed to provide students with a strong course background in economics, statistics, and mathematics. In addition to classes, Goizueta features an extensive program of seminars and workshops at which current research will be presented by Goizueta faculty, faculty at other universities in the Atlanta area and at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, and scholars from universities around the world. Students are expected to attend many of these seminars to gain exposure to ongoing research.
