ESSAY TOPICS:

Topic 1: The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) has been considered as a classical – cornerstone asset pricing model in Financial Theory, yet it has faced considerable criticism. Present and discuss the various cases where the CAPM has been tested and criticized. Present a review of some of the alternative models that the critics of CAPM propose, that arguably perform better than the CAPM itself.

Topic 2: The 2008 Global Financial Crisis can be considered as a case study where the classical theory of Efficient Markets Hypothesis has failed. A lot of research has been devoted to testing if markets are efficient or not. Critically present and discuss the various relevant research studies that test for Market Efficiency (testing EMH in other words). Are markets efficient? Are investors rational? If not, what alternative proposals/theories/models have been proposed?

General referencing rules

· References must comply with the Harvard system (you can consult the ACT library if you are uncertain).

· Your essay must comply with rules governing academic integrity.

· You should avoid plagiarism by citing all the papers that you have used.

· If you quote what others have said, you should place these within quotation marks (“ ”) and cite the source and page number. Do not lift sentences from original sources and insert them into your writing without enclosing them in double-quotation marks. Doing so is tantamount to plagiarism, and your essay will be liable to penalties.

· Use direct quotes very sparingly, if at all, only when it is necessary. In most cases, essays in economics/finance do not need direct quotes, since we are mostly referring to information such as facts, figures, theories, etc. (i.e., you are not referring to artistic or literary works, famous historical remarks or speeches, etc.). This means that you must paraphrase original sentences, rather than depending on direct quotes (paraphrased sentences must be accompanied by parenthetical in-text references).

· Do not cite / refer to “lectures” (this module or otherwise). Refer instead to available sources (mostly books and journal articles) that contain the relevant information.

· Please note that any form of cheating will not be tolerated. The module leader reserves the right to ask you to provide evidence that the essay submitted is your own work. This may require that you attend a viva (oral exam) on the coursework. In particular, you are strongly advised not to copy material from papers, which are available on the internet and present this as your own work. This can be easily detected, and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.
