Max. Weight: 15%
Research Paper (15%)
Objectives:
(1) Researching a topic and writing about it in your own words using scientific writing
(2) Using the literature data bases for research purposes
(3) Getting familiarity with some finance journals and understanding news
Requirements:
(1) You are required to work in a group of THREE and write a research paper. The selection of the theme of the paper should of the following:
1. Recent developments in the US derivatives market (a pre-post financial crisis comparison is essential in this case).
(2) Each paper should include a minimum of two scholarly Journal articles and three newspapers references. You are allowed to use information from any relevant web sources. The more resources you use the better your paper will be.
(3) Use of library sources is a must in your journal and articles search (rather than simple Google!).
(4) Specific examples of products, institutions, strategies, trends, pricing etc. in the derivatives markets that you will be discussing will make your research paper richer.
(5) Submit you paper through the Project in the Teaching Material section of your BB no later than Wednesday MAY 12 Beginning of Class and one hard copy should be submitted to me in that class.. All projects will go through the “Safe Assign” feature/filter of BB to avoid any copying & pasting from the websources/articles. A 20% or more matching will result in a failing grade on this project.
(6) I expect you to use the sources to gather information and then write the paper in your own words.
(7) In the conclusion of the assignment I want at least one (reflection) paragraph where you explain your own interpretation of the issue, any arguments that you want to comment on, and what is the major thing that you learnt out of this assignment. Notice that it is more challenging to choose topic 3& 5 rather than 1,2& 4 because there will be much more information available related to topics 1, 3 & 4 compared to 3& 5, and hence appreciation will be considered for such cases when grading.
(8) Finally, you have to pay attention to grammar and spelling in your write up.
(9) The paper should not be less than 3 pages and more than 5 pages(excluding any tables or charts if present), with following formatting requirements:
(a) Font: 12, regular, Times New Roman
(b) 1.5 line spacing with A4 printing option.
(10) At the end of the paper the references should be added in American Psychological Association (APA)referencing style.
(11) The inclusion of appendices will be appreciated but both references and appendices will not be counted among pages count (of section (9)) of the paper.
(12) This project will constitute 15% of your total grade.
