Course Syllabus

Abstract

This course represents a system of research seminar for the 2nd year master students. The research seminar is aimed to develop the academic skills of the master students and to prepare them to make their own research in the area of finance. Research in this area applies specific mathematical and econometrical methods, as well as the perfect data mining skills. The course contains two types of research activity. The first activity for every 2nd year master student is to participate in the large research seminars of HSE School of Finance. The second type of activity is to participate in the small team seminars (that should be chosen before the beginning of the year). Both parts of the research seminar aim to help students to develop the academic writing skills and a number of soft skills that are useful for a financier (e.g. presentation skills, team work, project management). The first part of research seminar aims at fostering discussion and interaction on variable topics in finance. The second part aims to develop personal academic skills in the chosen area. Students who chose Fundraising and Institutional Issues’ deepen their knowledge in institutional aspects of finance as well as in valuation of equities and its drivers. The students also develop their skills in the data-mining, work with the literature and text preparation in this area.
