Research methodology workshops and research seminar series

To enhance the research skills of our PhD students, the Finance and Financial Planning ("FFP") discipline is delighted to launch the HDR Research Methodology Workshops and Research Seminar Series.

The 60 minute Research Methodology Workshops were delivered by FFP staff and PhD students on their favourite research technique and/or a specific software package. These workshops are designed to improve the technical skills of PhD students. The topics cover areas such as advanced econometric methods, Bootstrap techniques, Matlab, Bloomberg, SAS, Stata, etc.

The 2-hour Research Seminars were delivered by a FFP staff member, who shared his/her latest research output with the aim of stimulating useful discussions. PhD students were also invited to deliver their research and enhance their presentation skills.
