Financial market and Corporate Investment
Expected to write a "front end" paper using the references provided in the reading list as well as from current peer-reviewed articles (published within the last 5 years). A front end paper includes an introduction section; a literature review of at least 10 articles is required. A literature review is not just a synopsis. In addition to a synopsis, you must look for connections, consensus, and or contradictions between the articles. Based on the literature review, the term paper will contain the motivation for undertaking the study, emphasizing the contribution to the literature, a research proposal should be developed that states what it is the student wants to investigate and how he or she would do it. Students should also give an idea on what types of results they think they would find.
