In addition, I require each of you to conduct a further research on background theories or econometric methods in the assigned paper. You don’t need to write about it in your brief but will be asked to explain it to your classmates in class. Here is the assignment.

- Vicky – Market valuation framework

Please let me know if you have any question.
