- Improve presentation techniques (e.g., the structure of a presentation, slide design, English language, body language, psychological aspects, answering questions the right way).
- Learn how to discuss a paper (e.g., the structure of a discussion, which aspects of a paper should be emphasized/criticized, how to assess data sets and their empirical results).
- Comprehend why presenting and discussing papers is important and what you should and should not do.
- Recognize that more or less every paper can be criticized and what that means for your own paper write-up, presentation, and selection of topics to work on.
- Understand and acquire working knowledge of cross-sectional and panel data empirical methods for use in corporate finance, accounting, and managerial research, etc.
- Further improve your economic and econometric understanding and reasoning, your skills of assessing empirical studies, and thereby also learn more about the importance of alternative explanations and counterfactuals.
- Understand the basic tradeoff between internal and external validity in empirical research and practice the design and evaluation of own empirical setups.
