Research opportunity
Students who are interested in getting a taste of academic research in financial economics, email me at sunwoo_hwang@korea.ac.kr to discuss opportunities. You will learn
how an academic research is produced in corporate finance.
how to design and implement experimental studies.
how to read from data economics, decisions made by economic agents subject to varying interests, and their outcomes.
how to use mathematical and statistical packages such as STATA, SAS, Python, and Matlab.
how to manipulate population-level, or big, data confidentially accessed through government agencies or scraped from online sources.
In the course, you will be prepared to pursue careers in industry and academia which value some or all of these skills, particularly the eyes to read markets and economies through lens of data. Ultimately, you will develop unautomatable socioeconomic insights. Some knowledge about finance, economics, and econometrics are preferred but not required. Please understand, however, that you are most likely to start by hand-collecting data or running simple codes, from which I gauge your skill level and may get you into advanced exercises.
