For Itzhak Ben-David, PhD ’08, the PhD Program in Finance was an exploratory journey.
Video Transcript
Itzhak Ben-David, ’08: 00:03 For me, the PhD Program was an exploratory journey. It was about discovering what was interesting for me, what will be interesting for other economists. It was about discovering something new about the world. Much of the PhD Program experience is to explore and to wonder a bit and to just think and expose yourself to new ideas and new disciplines. Back then, this was 2006, I found a billboard that said, "If you buy this house, we're going to give you a free car or $20,000 in cash." And this seemed really odd to me. What I realized that was going on, that this was part of a borrower fraud and the idea was that seller and the buyer will agree on a higher price on a house and the lender would be under the impression that the collateral worth more than it really is.
Itzhak Ben-David, ’08: 00:58 So I started to investigate other parts of the real estate food chain. What I saw is that in many parts of this chain, there were incentives in place pushing the intermediaries or the different economic agents to inflate prices. It's not always a bubble, but oftentimes it points out behavior that is not consistent with our textbook behavior. I had the dream team of advisors, Toby Moskowitz, Dick Taylor, Steve Levitt, and Erik Hurst. Each one of them contributed in different way to my dissertation and brought different ideas, brought different aspects. There is no better place of doing research than in Booth. It's really a hub of academic activity. There is no important work that doesn't pass at Chicago before being published. It's really an intellectual home. When you meet people and you know that they are from Booth, you can see the difference in their thinking.
PhD students in finance study a wide range of topics, including the behavior and determinants of security prices, the financing and investment decisions of firms, corporate governance, and the management and regulation of financial institutions. They go on to careers at prestigious institutions, from Yale University to the International Monetary Fund.

Financial economics encompasses a broad area of topics and issues, including corporate investments and financing policy, security valuation, portfolio management, the behavior of prices in speculative markets, financial institutions, and intermediation.
The PhD specialization in finance is designed to give the student a strong background for study and research in both theoretical and empirical work in finance and related areas. Emphasis is placed on understanding the important concepts and models. Students normally take several graduate courses in the Department of Economics, particularly in microeconomics and macroeconomic theory, the economics of uncertainty, and econometrics.
The program offers two courses specifically in financial theory and its applications. In addition, the faculty and doctoral students attend a seminar that features speakers from around the country. However, the specialization is built primarily around individual study and research under the guidance of the faculty.
The Finance doctoral program provides students with rigorous training in finance, economics, mathematics and statistics. These tools, plus opportunities for supervised independent research, enable students to make their own contributions to the understanding of financial markets and institutions that lead to productive research careers. The Finance doctoral program trains students to apply empirical methods and theoretical tools to advance our understanding of how financial markets and institutions work, and how they may contribute to economic development. The program aims to produce scholars who develop rigorous and creative research in finance and economics. Students are exposed to a variety of research methods in their coursework, and interact closely with faculty as they develop their own research projects. A distinctive characteristic of our program is its close ties with the Department of Economics, which are fostered by joint seminars, mutual advising of students, and frequent collaboration on research projects. The academic interests of the finance faculty also span a very broad range of topics in finance, from the role of culture and trust in financial markets to the identification of jump risk premiums. The breadth of knowledge and interests of our faculty create an environment that encourages students to conduct advanced research in novel aspects of the field.
Active Research Areas : Current theoretical and empirical research in Finance spans the areas of asset pricing and corporate finance. Research topics include corporate governance, household financial decisions, macro-finance, financial crises, the pricing of securities in financial markets, international finance, financial history, development economics, market microstructure, regulation, and financial econometrics. Please note: Applicants to economics-based PhD programs, such as Finance, may opt-in to have their application considered by Weinberg's Economics PhD program. More information about this option is available on The Graduate School website .
Finance faculty members include scholars who are fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Bureau of Economics Research, and the Society for Financial Econometrics, as well as recipients of the Smith Breeden Prize from the American Finance Association and other top paper awards. Several faculty serve/served in editorial positions at leading journals, such as the Journal of Finance, Journal of Monetary Economics, and Econometrica , and as directors of the American Finance Association and past-presidents of the Western Finance Association. Recent publications within top economics and finance journals include American Economic Review , Econometrica , Journal of Finance , Journal of Financial Economics, and Journal of Political Economy.
We seek students with strong training in mathematics and statistics and a solid background in economics, either through prior study or through work and research experience. Recommended coursework at an advanced level includes calculus, linear algebra, optimization, probability and statistics. Although a master’s degree is not required, about half of our incoming class has a graduate degree. Prior research experience is not required.
In years one and two, students take three or four courses each quarter (fall, winter, spring). The first-year students complete the three core sequences in Microeconomics, Macroeconomics and Econometrics. In year two, students enroll in the 3-course sequences in asset pricing and corporate finance, plus an additional course/elective – preferably from the Economics Department. Students must maintain a minimum 3.0 grade point average (GPA). Qualifying Exam At the end of year one, students are required to establish competence in the Economics course sequences: Microeconomics, Macroeconomics and Econometrics. This competence is satisfied by achieving a 3.0 grade point average (GPA) across the nine required courses in the sequence.
During the summer following the student’s second year of study, students must pass a comprehensive qualifying exam designed to measure competence in both asset pricing and corporate finance or they must demonstrate competence by maintaining a 3.6 GPA average across both course sequences.
Candidacy As students transition from coursework to research, they are required to write an original research paper in the summer of their second year supervised by a faculty advisor. Students present their completed research project to the department in September following the summer quarter of their second year. At that time their performance is reviewed by the Finance faculty, and upon successfully completing their coursework, passing their qualifying exam and second-year paper, students are admitted to candidacy.
Fourth Year Paper At the end of the fall quarter of the fourth year, students are required to pass the dissertation proposal requirement by presenting a completed research paper to the department. The research paper has to be sufficiently advanced to be part of the student's dissertation. Students who do not pass the dissertation proposal at that stage have an additional opportunity to do so by the end of the spring quarter of the fourth year.
Research, Proposal & Dissertation The main activity in years three and four is research toward a thesis of publishable quality, under the direction of one or more faculty advisors. During the third year, students are required to present their work in progress to the department. A thesis proposal must be presented to the Finance faculty by the end of fall quarter of their fourth year. In their final year in the program, each candidate must complete a dissertation demonstrating original and significant research and must pass a final oral examination (“defense”) on the dissertation.
Teaching Requirement To promote engagement with faculty and integration with the intellectual life of the department, students serve as research assistants and teaching assistants during years two, three, and four. Research assistantships (RAs) are an excellent lead-in to research; teaching assistantships (TAs) prepare students for teaching after obtaining the PhD.

The department currently has 13 tenured or tenure-track faculty conducting research on a wide range of empirical and theoretical topics:
Real Estate
Insurance and Risk Management
Our faculty publish regularly in prestigious journals including the Journal of Finance , Journal of Financial Economics , Review of Financial Studies , Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis , Management Science , Real Estate Economics , Journal of Urban Economics , Journal of Risk and Insurance , and Journal of Risk and Uncertainty . As of August 2024, our faculty's research has been cited more than 23,000 times according to Google Scholar.
The department also hosts a regular seminar series featuring leading national and international scholars in finance, real estate and insurance and risk management. These seminars provide a platform for the exchange of ideas and dissemination of cutting-edge knowledge between our faculty and experts from other academic institutions and research organizations.
The curriculum consists of five components: required courses, first-year literature review paper, comprehensive exam, second-year research paper and dissertation.
Students are required to complete courses that build competency in three key areas: quantitative methods, economics and finance. The course requirements are tailored to each student's educational background. Typically, students entering with a master’s degree must complete 48 credit hours, while those without a master’s degree must complete 60 credit hours. The required courses include:
During their first summer, students are required to complete a literature review paper. They may choose a research topic from a list provided by the finance faculty or propose their own topic, subject to faculty approval. The paper will be evaluated by the finance faculty at the end of the summer. The expectation is that students will demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of both foundational studies and cutting-edge research related to their chosen topic by conducting extensive reading throughout the summer. Additionally, students are strongly encouraged to develop original research ideas based on their literature review. A satisfactory performance on the first-year literature review paper is essential for students to maintain a good standing in the program.
The comprehensive examination is designed to assess a student's in-depth knowledge in finance, economics and quantitative methods. It encompasses four finance seminars: Corporate Finance Theory, Empirical Studies in Corporate Finance, Asset Pricing Theory, and Empirical Studies in Asset Pricing. Typically taken during the second summer, this exam is a crucial milestone for doctoral students, signifying their transition from coursework to full-time thesis research and advancing them to candidacy.
During their second summer, students are expected to develop an independent, original research idea under the guidance of one or more faculty mentors. They will conduct all necessary theoretical and empirical analyses to transform their research question into a complete original paper. By the end of the summer, students must submit a complete paper and present it during the fall semester of their third year. The faculty will evaluate the paper based on the originality and significance of the research idea, the quality of its execution and writing, and the student’s ability to effectively communicate the paper’s concepts and findings during the presentation. Successfully passing the second-year paper is another crucial requirement for advancing to PhD candidacy.
The doctoral dissertation is expected to be a substantial, significant and original contribution to the field of knowledge. It is developed under the guidance of a thesis committee consisting of three or more faculty members, including at least one from outside the finance department, chosen by the candidate in consultation with their thesis advisor. Early in the process, the candidate submits a thesis proposal, which is then presented in a seminar attended by finance faculty and doctoral students. This presentation provides the student with valuable feedback while the research plan is still in its formative stages. Upon completion of the research, a thesis-defense seminar, open to the entire University of Cincinnati academic community, is conducted to evaluate the dissertation.

The emphasis is on dynamic asset pricing and consumption choices in a continuous time setting. The articles discussed include many classical papers in the field as well as some of the most recent developments. The lectures will emphasize the concepts and technical tools needed to understand the articles.
Prerequisites: FNCE 9110 AND ECON 7100 AND 7110
This course covers general equilibrium and rational expectations, foundations of the theory of information; learning from prices in rational expectations equilibrium models, moral hazard, adverse selection, and signaling bidding theories.
Prerequisites: FNCE 9220
This is a doctoral level course on macroeconomics, with special emphasis on intertemporal choice under uncertainty and topics related to finance. Topics include: optimal consumption and saving, the stochastic growth model, q-theory of investment, (incomplete) risk sharing and asset pricing. The course will cover and apply techniques, including dynamic programming, to solve dynamic optimization problems under uncertainty. Numerical solution methods are also discussed.
This course exposes student to recent development in the asset pricing literature. The starting point for the course is the standard neo-classical rational expectations framework. We will then investigate where this frameworkhas succeeded and where it has not. Recently documented deviations from the framework in the literature are discussed and placed in context. The course will also focus on hypothesis development, recent research methods, and research writing. The ultimate objective is for students to develop their own hyoptheses and research ideas, resulting in a paper.
The course will cover a variety of micro-econometric models and methods including panel data models, program evaluation methods e.g. difference in differences, matching techniques, regression discontinuity design, instrumental variables, duration models, structural estimation, simulated methods of moments. The structure of the course consists of lectures, student presentations, and empirical exercises. Published studies will be utilized in a variety of fields such as corporate finance, labor economics, and industrial organization to illustrate the various techniques. The goal of the course is to provide students with a working knowledge of various econometric techniques that they can apply in their own research. As such, the emphasis of the course is on applications, not theory. Students are required to have taken a graduate sequence in Econometrics, you should be comfortable with econometrics at the level of William Green's "Econometric Analysis of Cross-Section and Panel Data".
Prerequisites: STAT 5210
This course covers advanced theory and empirical investigations; financial decisions of the firm, dividends, capital structure, mergers, and takeovers.
To provide an understanding of selected topics of current academic research in the areas of international finance and its intersection with international macroeconomics; to teach interested students the tools for conducting research in this field. Each topic will be developed beginning with early classic papers and then updated through the current status of the profession. The typical target audience comprises students in their second year or later. Prerequisite: Completion of first year course requirements
This course has three main objectives: The first object is to introduce students to the fundamental works and the frontier of research in dynamic asset pricing. We will cover recent models that have been proposed to shed light on intreguing and important empirical patterns in the cross section and in the time series. Topics include non-separable utilities, market incompleteness, learning, uncertainty, differences of opionions, ex-ante and ex-post asymmetric information, ambiguity and Knightian uncertainty. The second objective is to teach students how to think of asset pricing research under a bigger or richer framework. We shall focus on the interactions between asset pricing and other fields such as macroeconomics, corporate finance, financial institutions, and international finance. The goal of inventigating the joint dynamics is not only to better understand how asset prices are determined, but also (maybe more importantly) how would asset pricing dynamics affect other important economic vaiables such as investment, corporate payout and financing, unemployment, risk sharing, and international capital flows. Students will learn production-based asset pricing models, particularly the asset pricing models with investment-specific technology shocks, risk shocks, financial friction, searching frictions and information frictions. Of course, the advanced solution methods will focus too. The third objective is to introduce advanced empirical methods to analyze the data and the quantitative dynamic models. It includes how to estimate structural dynamic models, how evaluate structural models beyond goodness-of-fit tests, how confront the models predictions with empirical data by simulation and re-sampling techniques, and how to efficiently test models and explore new patterns using asset pricing and macro data.
Prerequisites: FNCE 9110 AND FNCE 9210
The primary goal of this 0.5cu course is to introduce students to the main areas of research in household finance. The emphasis will be on discussing papers on the research frontier on topics such as consumption, portfolio choices, housing, inequality and entrepreneurship. This course complements REAL 9480, Advanced Topics in Urban Economics: Household Real Estate Decisions-Making. Students are encouraged to take REAL 9480 in the first half of the spring semester and FNCE 9360 in the second half of that semester.
This is an advanced course in quantitative theory applied to macro and finance models. It is intended for doctoral students in finance, economics and related fields. The course focuses on four broad theoretical literatures: (i) firm investment and growth; (ii) corporate, household and sovereign debt; (iii) asset pricing in general equilibrium; and (iv) equilibrium macro models with a financial sector. My approach is to develop and discuss in detail a unified framework that is suited to address most topics, usually covering a few central topics and the core papers. We then discuss the more recent literature, highlighting how authors combine and expand upon the core ideas. This part of the course usually relies on regular student presentations.
Prerequisites: FNCE 9110
This course may be offered (and taken by a student) several times a year with varying topics.
