This course complements Accounting I (Accounting Theory and Earnings Management) by providing insights on (a) how information can affect corporate decision-making and (b) how quantitative analysis tools can be used on administrative, field and experimental data to support sound business decisions.
The course will combine scientific evidence with real-life business cases. It should therefore be interesting to students who want to prepare for a corporate career in the area of accounting or governance as well as for students who consider writing their Master's thesis in the area of accounting.
Preconditions: To complete this module successfully, students will need a basic understanding of accounting concepts but no detailed institutional knowledge. In addition, students need to be familiar with basic concepts of microeconomics and econometrics. |
