This course provides an introduction to empirical research in corporate finance, with an emphasis on the application of cross-sectional and panel data econometric techniques for causal inference. The objective of this course is twofold: • First, participants will become familiar with the literature in empirical corporate finance. The goal is to provide broad (but not comprehensive) coverage of the literature, identify recurrent themes, and outline potential areas of future research. • Second, participants will learn to become sophisticated consumers and eventually producers of state-of-the-art empirical research in corporate finance that applies cross-sectional and panel data econometric techniques.
