ur Objectives: (i.e. what do you expect to learn by undertaking this project?). What are the Principal questions to be addressed? What are the Data requirements: (What data will you use and how do you propose to obtain it?). What are your Software needs: (What software packages do you intend to use, and why?). What are the Principal techniques: (For example, will you be using MLE or GMM? Continuous-time asset pricing or binomial lattices?). What are the Dates and milestones?
In your progress report in July you must demonstrate that your project is underway, that you have started to get some initial results from your analysis and show your supervisor that you have a clear idea of what the final project would be like. You should discuss what data has already been collected, what results have been derived, what the implications of these results are, what remaining questions need to be investigated, and what the structure of your final project is.

The benefits of the project

The project plays an essential part in the educational process.  It is something that is exclusively yours and you have to take responsibility for what you get out of it.  The academic staff will help, facilitate and finally assess your efforts, but the responsibility for the project is your own.  An electronic copy of your project, assuming it 'passes', will be accessible in the College Library. Future students and other users will read it and it will appear under your name. 

The benefit that you get from the project will depend on the nature of the project and will therefore vary.  It is likely to include, however, some mix of the following:

· a deeper understanding of some aspect of financial markets, industry, the economy
· development of technical expertise in e.g., financial analysis, mathematical modelling, information technology, forecasting, computing
· better understanding and better performance in the process of research. e.g. familiarity with sources and use of data, ability to evaluate and synthesise existing literature, present findings accurately, clearly and concisely.

Of course, not all projects will provide all of these benefits, certainly not to the same degree and you will probably have strong views on what kind of benefit you want to emphasise when you select your project.

Planning your project

In planning your project you should consider the following:

1. It is important to select a topic in which you are interested rather than one that you believe will be easy to do.

2. The absolute minimum that will gain a pass is a very well executed replication of a piece of research that has been done by someone else, but on a different data set from yours, or applied to a different type of asset etc.  But if you aim merely for this minimum you run the risk that your execution will not be of a sufficiently high standard.  What we are really looking for is for you to generate a small number of your own ideas or questions and to investigate these professionally, using the techniques you have learned on the course.  One way to do this is to develop an existing piece of work by testing or relaxing some of the assumptions on which it is based.
