The first steps The most important early task once your project topic has been chosen is to commence work on the short literature survey due on 5th May. The survey is intended to make you familiar with current research in the field, and to provide you with a point of departure for your own work and discussion with your supervisor. In the short survey you must discuss the key papers that are directly related to your project. The key papers are NOT necessarily restricted to those listed in the “project proposals” booklet. You should demonstrate your ability to search and identify important additional articles. The survey should also focus on your own proposed project and should answer the following questions. What are your Objectives: (i.e. what do you expect to learn by undertaking this project?). What are the Principal questions to be addressed? What are the Data requirements: (What data will you use and how do you propose to obtain it?). What are your Software needs: (What software packages do you intend to use, and why?). What are the Principal techniques: (For example, will you be using MLE or GMM? Continuous-time asset pricing or binomial lattices?). What are the Dates and milestones? In your progress report due on 3rd July you must demonstrate that your project is underway, that you have started to get some initial results from your analysis and show your supervisor that you have a clear idea of what the final project would be like. You should discuss what data has already been collected, what results have been derived, what the implications of these results are, what remaining questions need to be investigated, and what the structure of your final project is. The benefits of the project The project plays an essential part in the educational process. It is something that is exclusively yours and you have to take responsibility for what you get out of it. The academic staff will help, facilitate and finally assess your efforts, but the responsibility for the project is your own. An electronic copy of your project, assuming it 'passes', will be accessible in the College Library. Future students and other users will read it and it will appear under your name. The benefit that you get from the project will depend on the nature of the project and will therefore vary. It is likely to include, however, some mix of the following: • a deeper understanding of some aspect of financial markets, industry, the economy • development of technical expertise in e.g., financial analysis, mathematical modelling, information technology, forecasting, computing • better understanding and better performance in the process of research. e.g. familiarity with sources and use of data, ability to evaluate and synthesise existing literature, present findings accurately, clearly and concisely. |
