Theses

This section includes links to some theses which have been written on the Black-Litterman model. Some are in english, some in other languages. Thesis tend to include more explanation than academic papers, sometimes they also include source code and other artifacts which can be useful.

The Black-Litterman Model - Mathematical and Behavioral Finance Approaches Towards its Use in Practice, Mankert, 2006. Licentiate Thesis. This masters thesis was written by a student who implemented Black-Litterman for a Swedish Bank and noted that there wasn't a lot of good literature on the subject. She has some good detail on derivations of the core formulas of the Black-Litterman model, and provides new insights into the model by a novel derivation using sampling theory. She doesn't provide all the formulas needed and doesn't provide much in the way of worked examples. Still a very good source of information on the Black-Litterman model.

Modelo Black-Litterman Aplicacion a los FPO is a thesis by Mateo Eduardo Trujillo Segura on the application of the Black-Litterman model to Columbian Mandatory pension funds. It is a good reference to the Black-Litterman model in Spanish.
