Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
This is an advanced literature reading seminar. It also serves as a potential basis for the preparation of a master thesis or other advanced work. Therefore, having passed successfully the course "Basics of Finance" and Asset Pricing I" is a pre-requirement.Grading is based on three elements:1.Presentation of a research paper (33%).
Each candidate has to present an advanced paper and organize discussion of the topic with the peeers.2. Referee report (33%)
Each participant will write a referee report about a paper on the reading list that has not been assigned to any presentation, or a paper agreed upon during the seminar. This referee report needs to summarize the paper and evaluate its scope and scientific potential.3. Active discourse (33%)
Research requires two-way communication of ideas. Therefore, in reserach communication both, i.e. sender and receiver play an crucial role to establish knowledge and potentially extend it further. Accordingly, both roles will be relevant for grading.
