The purpose of this seminar is to prepare students for writing a Master
thesis at the Institute of Corporate Finance. In the first part of the
seminar we will review some of the main econometric techniques such as
regression analysis, time series models, panel data estimation, and
event studies. A main emphasis is on how to establish causal
relationships in empirical research. The second part of the seminar
consists of student presentations of important research papers in the
area of corporate finance. In addition, students are required to
replicate an empirical research paper with new data using Stata or R.
