Master Seminar (summer semester 2024)
Sustainable Finance & Governance
The Masterseminar "Sustainable Finance & Governance" deals with various topics based on case studies of German companies. Data will be collected manually on various issues in order to be able to carry out brief scientific analyses on the topic of sustainable finance and governance. The topics are to be worked on individually. A defined question is to be developed with the help of the scientific/regulatory literature and the current discussion, data is to be collected and analyzed against the background of the question. The focus of the seminar is on German companies and German data, but a comparison with the international market is also possible, depending on the question.
After the topic has been assigned, the individual steps or a focus will be briefly presented and discussed at an initial Q&A seminar. The examination consists of a written paper with a maximum length of 10 pages. Further specifications can be found in the format templates for written papers of the Chair of Banking & Finance (https://www.uni-giessen.de/fbz/fb02/fb/professuren/bwl/bannier/dateien/hinweise).
