		<title>FAIM 608: HW 7 Changes + Solutions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[HW 7 solutions are now posted. Please note the following: Do Problem 11.9, and NOT 11.10. The latter is about  pricing puts using binomial trees, which we did not talk about. (If you&#8217;re interested, however, the only difference is that you go short on the stock and long on the calls for the riskless portfolio). [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lecture Notes Format Changed, Assignment #3 Posted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s lecture notes are posted. However, there is one main difference: instead of printing PowerPoint-style handouts, I have printed one slide per page. I received several emails saying, on the one hand, that the lecture notes took up too many pages when printed and, on the other hand, I received emails saying that the slides [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Real Exchange Rate: Two Handouts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think I have discovered (thanks to several students who pointed it out to me yesterday) the source of the confusion that is causing you a lot of consternation.
