Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

COURSE OBJECTIVE:
This course enables students to deepen their knowledge in the topics introduced throughout the sequence of Corporate Finance courses. The second aim of the course is to help students come up with a suitable topic for their master thesis in Corporate Finance. For this reason the course is only recommended for students who are in their final stage of their master studies.

Assessment and permitted materials

COURSE FORMAT:
The course will be based on students’ presentations, term papers, written peer feedback and in class discussions. The course focuses on seminal papers in different areas of Corporate Finance, but is far from being exhaustive and has a bias towards more contemporary empirical work. Students may propose other topics within the realm of corporate finance or banking.
A kick-off meeting is held in March in order to allocate topics. The course is held in English.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

ASSESSMENT:
The grade is calculated as a weighted average of the grades for the presentation, the term papers, peer feeback, and participation, including contribution to class discussions. There will be no exams. Attendance is compulsory. The grading will be weighted as follows: 40% Presentations, 10% peer feedback, 40% research proposal, 10% class participation.

The minimum requirement for a positive grade is an at least 50% performance on the presentation, the term paper, and overall, as well as attendance of at least 80% of all classes.
