This course covers a selection of important research topics in finance. The first half of the course introduces empirical research methods for finance: event studies, time series, and alternative tests for market efficiency. The other half of the course addresses the following classical research topics: information asymmetry, dynamic dividend behavior, post-earnings announcement drift, capital structure, and the term structure of interest rates. These subjects will be discussed based on a pool of handouts and journal papers.
