Course Description

Week 1 Goal

By the end of this week, students will understand what arbitrage is, why it exists, and the different forms it can take in theory and simple real-world examples.


Lesson 1: What Is Arbitrage?

Key Concepts

  • Definition of arbitrage

  • Price inefficiencies

  • “Risk-free” vs “low-risk” profit (theoretical vs real markets)

Explanation

Arbitrage is the idea of profiting from price differences for the same asset in different markets or forms.
Example (simple):

  • A textbook costs $20 at Store A

  • The same textbook costs $25 at Store B

  • Buying at A and selling at B creates a $5 price difference


    Lesson 2: Why Arbitrage Opportunities Exist

    Causes of Arbitrage

    • Information delays

    • Different supply and demand across markets

    • Currency differences

    • Market inefficiencies

    • Human behavior (mistakes, emotions)

    Discussion Prompt

    Why do you think arbitrage opportunities disappear quickly once many people notice them?


    Lesson 3: Types of Arbitrage (High-Level Overview)

    Main Types

    1. Spatial Arbitrage – Same asset, different locations

    2. Temporal Arbitrage – Same asset, different times

    3. Statistical Arbitrage – Patterns and probabilities

    4. Triangular Arbitrage – Price relationships between three assets

    5. Merger Arbitrage – Based on company mergers (conceptual overview)


      Activities

      Activity 1: Spot the Arbitrage

      Find three everyday items (games, books, shoes, snacks) and compare prices across:

      • Two websites

      • Two stores

      • Different countries (currency conversion)

      Activity 2: Reflection

      Answer in 3–5 sentences:

      Why do you think arbitrage plays an important role in keeping markets efficient?
