A Case Study in Academic Research Methodology
Rather than teaching accounting or finance theory in the abstract, this course walks through an actual research project — the construction of a "Vaccine Confidence Index" (VCI) derived from COVID-19 vaccination data — to illustrate how a finance research paper comes together from start to finish.
Who It's For
Accounting and finance students, or anyone preparing to write academic research, who wants to see the methodology process demonstrated on a real example rather than described in theory.
Key Takeaways
- How a literature review connects prior work on pandemic indices and financial assets
- The steps involved in building a data set and defining a research methodology
- How to interpret and present results, including validation and robustness checks
- How to frame conclusions and acknowledge a study's limitations
The course runs 45–50 minutes and closes with a quiz to check understanding of the research process covered.
About this course
COVID-19 created a global saddled due to the pandemic of coronavirus and vaccine is believed to be a game-changing tool do end the pandemic. Therefore, the economy could rebound gradually. Public health improvement and hence the growth of economic are relying on COVID-19 vaccine. Prior works has proven that vaccine arrival could boost the outlook of economic and sending new hope to normality and stability (Rouatbi et al., 2021). Further, several studies examined the relationship between vaccine and financial assets. However, none of previous studies explored about vaccine confidence index. Our research constructed new index, named Vaccine Confidence Index (VCI), which derived from dose 1 and 2 of COVID-19 vaccine. Through the videos, the students will be able to understand the entire research process.
This course covers several modules: COVID-19 pandemic, vaccine, and cryptocurrencies; the constructions of VCI; literature review around COVID-19 pandemic indices and blockchain features; data and sample; research methodology; the results, included: VCI validation, ARDL results, robustness results; and conclusions, limitation and suggestions.
The students could accomplish this course in 45-50 minutes and required to answer the quiz as the assessment of this course. Once the students complete this course, they will be able to understand how to conduct research, especially research around COVID-19 and cryptocurrencies.
