BU52017 – Econometrics for Finance – 5EF
Assessed Coursework: Research Project
The aim of the project is to allow you to test a theory or hypothesis, perhaps learnt from one of your theory-based modules (e.g. Global Risk Analysis, Emerging Financial Markets and Investment, Global Financial Markets), using the methods that you learn in the 5EF lectures and computing labs. The project involves collecting appropriate data, undertaking relevant analysis and interpreting the results obtained.
Your project should consist of four elements:
An introduction which sets out the particular issue you are addressing.
The Introduction should include (i) a clear statement of the question(s) you are investigating; and (ii) an explanation of the importance of the question(s).
Section 2 should outline the underlying theory or hypothesis, where relevant, and summarise the general conclusions from the academic literature.
Section 3 should include the empirical analysis.
In this section, you will need to outline the techniques you are using (e.g. correlation, regression, unit root tests, cointegration) and interpret your results.
The final section should contain a summary of your results. This section should also provide a conclusion with respect to the research question(s) identified in Section 1. In addition, you should discuss how your results compare to the general conclusions that have emerged from the academic literature that you discuss in Section 2.
Allocating your time / weighting of sections:
In terms of allocating your time, Section 3 (your results section) will probably require the most time to prepare but this will not necessarily be reflected in your project – that is, Section 3 may not account for the most words. However, most of the marks will be allocated to the material presented in this section; particular attention will be paid to the interpretation of your results.
Overall word limit: 2000 words (+/- 10%)
The word count should not include references, tables, figures and equations. The project should be word-processed, using double-spacing and 12-point font. ALL results should be incorporated into the document in tables that are clearly presented, as well as any graphs that you deem appropriate. You should NOT provide your results in the form of print-outs from EViews. You must provide appropriate references and include the sources of all data that you collect.
