Topic 1: Behavioural corporate finance

[email protected]

Elaboration: An analysis on how behavioural aspects (especially related to managerial behaviour) affect decision making in non-financial firms. The analysis contains an identification and measurement of relevant behavioural biases and an investigation into the effects that these biases have on corporate decisions. The analysis covers a large group of firms using primary data (e.g. survey results) and/or secondary data (e.g. press coverage, managers’ financial positions).

Topic 2: Exchange rate exposure management Elaboration: An analysis of the exchange rate exposures and the management of these exposures in a non-financial case company of your choice. The analysis of exchange rate exposures contains an identification and measurement of exchange rate exposures taking into consideration direct as well as indirect (competitive) effects. The analysis of management of exchange rate exposures contains an assessment of current management practice in your case company as well as a suggestion for an optimal management of the exposures taking into consideration the aim and time horizon of the company.

Topic 3: Risk management Elaboration: A broad topic with a focus on an analysis of risk management in non-financial companies. The analysis may be set up as a case study of one particular company of your choice, a cross-case study of a few companies of your choice, or as a study of a large group of companies using (primarily) secondary data. The topic must be narrowed down focusing on a particular aspect of risk management or may be taken more broadly as an investigation into enterprise risk management. Tom Engsted
