– Alongside practical examples and mini case studies, computer lab exercises enable students to apply the theories of corporate finance and make stronger connections between theory and practice, while developing their programming skills, says Taylan Mavruk, Professor of Finance at the School of Business, Economics and Law.
The book includes Stata code, with corresponding Python and R code available online.
– This allows students of all programming abilities to focus on understanding and interpreting the analyses, he says.
Taylan Mavruk explains that the book will also help students improve their programming skills, and there are some key takeaways he hopes readers will gain.
– Applying the theories of corporate finance and making stronger connections between theory and practice. Focus on interpreting the analyses.
How does it feel to be published by Cambridge University Press with your new textbook?
– It feels great and is very motivating, giving me more confidence to produce more work, says Taylan Mavruk.
Quantitative Research Methods in Corporate Finance was Taylan Mavruk's side project for several years.
– I worked many hours in the evenings and weekends for over 3 years. Thus, I thank my family for their understanding and the opportunity, he says.
When is the next book coming?
I have some preliminary ideas for the next book, it could either be a second edition or a new book. But it is too early to provide more tangible information, says Taylan Mavruk.
