This course is to introduce empirical econometrics issues for finance-related topics including corporate finance and asset pricing. Students will be exposed to a broad overview of modern finance and econometrics.
能力項目說明
The goal will be accomplished by carefully reading published research papers. This course will be conducted primarily as a seminar with lectures given by me and the students. When a student is asked to present a paper, the student will be required to present as if he/she was the author. The discussion leader is not only to summarize the papers but also to help facilitate an in-depth understanding of the methodological innovations and problems. In addition, practical issues, such as data collecting, data manipulation, and data analysis, are also introduced. Students are expected to apply the empirical techniques learned in class to actual stock price data. By the end of this course, every student should replicate a research paper in one of the leading journals.
