MGMT 604 Research Seminar in Entrepreneurship
This course introduces theoretical and empirical research on entrepreneurship. Students will get a broad overview of the literature on core topics, learn how to critically review research papers, and develop their own research projects. The course covers the following areas: mobility and careers perspective on entrepreneurship, individual and structural determinants of entry, venture growth, firm survival and mortality, and empirical methods in entrepreneurship research.
MKTG 661 Theoretical Foundations in Consumer Behavior
Theoretical foundations in conducting research in the area of consumer behavior. Skills required in conceptual thinking and analyses. Consumer information processing, cognitive and affective processes, motivation, identity and self, attitudes, persuasion, and social influence.
MKTG 662 Judgment and Decision Making
Substantive and methodological approaches in the area of judgment and decision making, consumer memory, beliefs, inference, prediction, preference, and heuristics and biases in judgment, and decision making. Normative and descriptive principles that govern decision making. Knowledge and skills required in conducting original research on decision making.
MKTG 665 Strategy Seminar In Marketing
This is a doctoral seminar course focusing on behavioral foundations of marketing strategy research. Since marketing strategy is inherently interdisciplinary, the course acquaints students with theories emanating from economics, sociology, psychology, strategy, the organizational sciences, as well as marketing. Students will be introduced to a variety of research designs and techniques for doing marketing strategy research. We will examine research involving experiments, quasi-experiments, surveys, qualitative data, and secondary data. Some of the topics covered include: marketing capabilities and resources, financial returns to marketing strategies, market knowledge and learning, marketing and innovation, marketing networks. The goal is that students finish the course with a deep understanding of the literature as well as how they might contribute to it. Students write a research paper on a topic of interest.
MKTG 666 Experimental Research in Consumer Behavior
Major conceptual and empirical approaches in the prominent topics of consumer behavior with an additional consideration of the principles of experimental methodology. Knowledge and skills relevant to conduct behavioral research in marketing.
MKTG 680 Causal Inference
This course provides an overview of econometric techniques for the quantitative analysis of cause and effect in social sciences. Methods covered include experiments, regression, panel methods, difference-in-differences, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity and matching. Each topic will be studied using applications from the recent marketing, economics, management and operations literatures.
MFIN 661 Seminar in Corporate Finance
First part focuses on recent theoretical developments in corporate finance theory. Relevant concepts in game theory and contract theory and their applications to corporate finance. Techniques developed are used to understand agency conflicts between debt holders and equity holders, the role of managerial reputation and monitoring by financial intermediaries; conflicts of interest between managers and shareholders; capital structure and security design under asymmetric information; interactions between capital structure and product market competition; the market for corporate control, takeovers and acquisitions; bankruptcy and reorganization; IPOs and under-pricing. Second part studies the firm’s choice of its capital structure and dividend policy in settings characterized by moral hazard or asymmetric information, security issuance, investment decisions, corporate control, and corporate governance. Introduction to databases and empirical methods used most frequently in corporate finance research.
MFIN 662 Investments
Focus on two core ideas: 1) time series properties of asset returns (predictability, volatility, correlations with other variables etc) and 2) cross-sectional properties of asset returns implied by equilibrium asset pricing models (including CAPM, consumption-based asset pricing, factor models etc). Topics include the arbitrage pricing theory, intertemporal capital asset pricing model, derivative pricing models, asymmetric information and rational expectations and an introduction to empirical testing.

The second part provides the foundations of continuous-time modeling. Continuous-time stochastic processes, Markov/Wiener processes, martingales, Ito’s lemma, stochastic differential equations and changes of measure. The applications of continuous time models include fixed-income pricing models, models of forwards, futures and other derivatives, and portfolio choice problems.
