Between Day 5 and Day 7 of Week 2, continue your group’s Discussion by addressing the following summative considerations that pertain specifically to this week’s topic: (Analysis and Interpretation of Financial Information)
1-In what ways do the readings provided in this week’s resources and those identified by you and your colleagues answer important “so what” questions in the field of finance? How are these readings potentially valuable for research in the field?
2-What provocative predictions arising from these theories might have important implications for financial planning, analysis, and forecasting in the immediate and distant future?
3-Do these concepts help uncover an underlying reality that can easily be addressed? If yes, how would you begin to address it? If not, how would you prepare to address it?
4-To what extent do the models or theories present a clear set of measures for assessing corporate financial outcomes? What suggestions do you have for enhancing econometrics and time-series models?
5-Are there any important contradictions, arguments, disagreements, or divergences within this set of readings that point to potential areas for future research? How would you follow up to extend or explore these gaps?
