MSc. Seminar: Sustainable Finance

[Course language: English]

MARG is offering an M.Sc. seminar in the academic summer term 2025. This semester, the seminar is open to all master students specializing within the “Accounting and Finance Group” but also to students generally interested in Accounting and Finance issues. The seminar “Sustainable Finance: Market Valuation of CO2 Emissions” deals with the question how capital market valuations reflect CO2 emissions. Starting from a recent study (Perdichizzi et al., 2024; Energy Economics), participants should discuss methods to analyze the valuation, replicate the analyses in Perdichizzi et al. (2024) and complement these analyses. The course should provide students with all skills needed to write a data-driven master thesis within the school of business and economics. Specifically, the course will examine the following topics:

• • Sample generation procedures and data cleaning
  • Developing descriptive statistics and visualizations of data
  • Multivariate tools
  • Moving from correlation to addressing causal relationships
