26001 (2025/P3-P4) Kandidatavhandling i nationalekonomi, Hfors

Syftet med kursen är att du producerar en godkänd kandidatavhandling av vetenskapligt och språkligt god kvalitet. Du tränar och utvecklar en förmåga att analysera och lösa problem inom ämnesområdet samt producerar ett skriftligt vetenskapligt arbete. Meningen är också att kursen skall träna din skriftliga och muntliga presentation och argumentation.

Kandidatavhandlingen skrivs på svenska och kräver godkänt mognadsprov. I regel skall mognadsprovet genomgå både sak- och språkgranskning. Kursen Vetenskapligt skrivande på kandidatnivån (5628) rekommenderas starkt att tas parallellt med Kandidatavhandlingen.

26087 (2024/P2) Labour and Finance, Hki & Vaasa

This advanced course introduces students to the intersection of labor economics and corporate finance, focusing on how corporate decisions and structures affect human capital/talent within firms and the careers of employees. The course comprises five modules:

Module 1: Mergers and acquisitions.
Module 2: Corporate ownership forms (family firms, private equity, state-owned, etc.).
Module 3: Firm investments in new technologies.
Module 4: Capital structure and bankruptcy.
Module 5: Financial market booms and busts.

The course is suitable for PhD or master’s students in economics interested in exploring firm and worker dynamics from a corporate finance standpoint, as well as for PhD or master’s students in finance seeking to understand labor-related issues. It is particularly useful for PhD students interested in working on these topics with Nordic administrative datasets.

This course is an investment in your future career success. Taking this course will equip you with analytical skills and an understanding of how corporate policies impact careers over the long term. This includes your own career. As future managers, analysts, or policymakers, particularly in industries where human capital is crucial, you’ll benefit from the knowledge gained here in managing and analyzing human capital inside firms. Additionally, the overview of the research field and the skills you develop through reading the academic articles we cover will be helpful for your thesis, whether at the MSc or PhD level. You will also have the opportunity to network with other students who share your interests in labor and finance.
