The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Determine whether the European tech IPO market is weak-form efficient by testing for abnormal returns in the first 60 trading days after listing.
This is not a research exercise. It is the work a researcher does to produce findings that withstand scrutiny. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates summarize papers and none who have produced original findings under expert review.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Design and conduct an event study to test market efficiency
- Calculate abnormal returns using the market model
- Apply statistical hypothesis testing to financial data
- Critically evaluate the Efficient Market Hypothesis in a real-world context
