Since this is a course for graduate students, we will share the efforts for the course material. That is, I will lecture roughly one third of the material required for the course. On the other hand, students are asked to present the contents of the textbook. Besides, we will discuss the empirical methodologies used in finance research to help graduate students build up their research skills in finance. Those who plan to pick up a finance topic for their master thesis should pay more attention to the empirical research skills. We hope that students can learn basic knowledge of finance for their future career both in academy and in industry. Therefore, we will focus on the concepts and theories and we will see how financial theories are applied to the realistic world. It is strongly recommended that students talk to me once they have any question or suggestion.
