You should recall this outline from the very beginning of the course:

I. Introduction

What is the project about? Why is this interesting? To whom is this useful? Are there any similar issues or topics in finance? What is the history or background of this topic?

II. Hypothesis

What is the objective of your study? What question(s) does the project address?

For example, if your objective is to demonstrate that there is a direct relationship between employment and GNP, then following the scientific method, the null hypothesis is that there is no relationship between employment and GNP.

III. Related Literature

Are there prior studies related to your project? How do they relate?

The NU library catalog allows you to search for finance journal articles by subject.

IV. Data

Describe the data you will employ in considerable detail. These details should include the source of the data (and any other information you employ) and the motivation for any data “editing” you may use. “Editing” refers to the need to eliminate outliers or other observations that are suspect. If you do this, you must do it gently and without bias.

V. Methodology

Explain your research design. Why have you chosen the tests you employ?

VI. Results

What are the results of your tests? Is it appropriate to conduct subsequent tests based on your initial results?

VII. Conclusion

Do your results support your hypothesis? Why or why not? Is there a bias built into your design? How generalizable are your results? What suggestions can you make regarding further research in this area? What have you learned about your topic based on your analysis?

VIII. References: You need to fully cite all sources.
