Course Outline
Introduction To the OpenBB Terminal
The OpenBB Terminal introduction is vital for understanding the installation process, basic functionality, and data handling, as it covers topics that will be revisited throughout the course.
Public Equity
OpenBB offers 30+ years of public equities data, including financial statements, market data, and analyst estimates. Coca-Cola serves as a model for company analysis, demonstrating how OpenBB helps students evaluate investment opportunities and understand company performance.
Fixed Income
Learn how Central Bank decisions affect global financial markets by exploring the impact of government and corporate bond yields and spreads with OpenBB. Our course includes a demonstration of how Germany's government bond yields turned negative and how students can learn from it using our platform.
Micro and Macro Economic Indicators
OpenBB provides historical data and analysis on economic indicators such as GDP, inflation, interest rates, and employment. This is essential for students to understand the economy and analyze trends. The course includes an analysis of the Greek government debt crisis using key macro-economic indicators on the OpenBB platform.
Use Cases
See how we've worked with several universities to introduce the OpenBB platform and how our technology and solutions democratize access to investment research.
Utrecht University
Understanding the need for Python within the Financial industry is important. Utrecht University understands the importance and teaches their Finance students about the programming language. In addition, the University collaborated with OpenBB to further talk about the role of Python and what OpenBB brings to the table.
Indiana University
Not only technical students can actively contribute to the OpenBB Terminal as MBA students from Indiana University got involved to understand the current market conditions for investment research platforms in the United States as well as the major benefit OpenBB gives within the academia space.
RMIT University
The RMIT University made use of the open source nature of the OpenBB Terminal in which a group of Data Scientists were asked to work with OpenBB to contribute to the project and design their own addition to the software. One of the many examples how any type of student can be involved.
