At the first lecture, the course syllabus was presented to comprise 1) theory and applications as presented during the lectures 2) training exercises and 3) written notes/articles to be disseminated during the course.

I am not aware of any single textbook well suited for the course. However, one textbook that covers many of the topics of the course is: Harry Panjer et. al.: Financial Economics, with Applications to Investments, Insurance and Pensions. ISBN 0-938959-48-4.

The training exercises ("oppgaver") will not be translated to English.
