______________________________________________________________
This is the final course offered by the Finance area. You are expected to have completed most of the other requirements in Finance prior to enrolling in this course. The course will consist of a series of state of the art research presentations by leading scholars from North American Universities. Evaluation Students should study research papers and write an original paper on a research topic from the field of economics or finance. The course grade will be based solely (100%) on your research paper. The research paper must be either theoretical or empirical with significant original contribution to your chosen topic. A case study or a literature survey will not receive a passing grade. Guidance for Research Paper Topic Selection and Outline: Latest by October 7, 2013. You must submit a one page written proposal to Professor Errunza/Karen Robertson at least one week prior to your meeting(s) with Professor Errunza. Progress Report Discussion: Latest by November 15, 2013. You must submit a two page written report to Professor Errunza/Karen Robertson at least one week prior to your meeting(s) with Professor Errunza. Provide details of your progress to-date and your plans for completion. The final paper is due on December 2, 2013 by 12 noon. Note that each day of delay in submission of the final paper will result in a 5% reduction in your final mark. Other Pertinent Information The meeting days and times may be changed (from the normal Fridays 10:00 - 11:30 a.m.) to accommodate the schedules of visiting scholars. Of course, we will do our best to give you adequate prior notice for any changes in the schedule. McGill University values academic integrity. Therefore all students must understand the meaning and consequences of cheating, plagiarism and other academic offences under the Code of Student Conduct and Disciplinary Procedures (see www.mcgill.ca/students/srr/honest/ for more information).
