Coursework 2 (60% of the mark for this module) Submission Deadline: 1st May. Word limit: 3,000.
This assignment consists of two options. Both options are worth 100 marks. YOU NEED TO CHOOSE EITHER OPTION 1 OR OPTION 2.
Option 1
Using data from Compustat for a large sample of banks (at least 50) and over a period of at least 5 years, examine the determinants of bank dividend payouts:
- Fama and French (2001) hypothesis
- Risk-shifting theory
- Signalling theory
- Life-cycle theory
As proxies for dividend payouts, you can use any (or all) of the following variables:
- Dividend-to-asset ratio
- Dividend-to-equity ratio
- Dividend payout ratio
Or you can use dividend payout dummy variables as follows:
- Dividend pay dummy
- Dividend increase dummy
- Dividend decrease dummy
- Dividend omission dummy
In your analysis, you can consider different dimensions/variables, e.g., bank capital, bank size, deposits, and any other, following the relevant literature.
Moreover, you can use a variety of specifications (as many as you want, e.g., large banks and small banks or different periods). You should also discuss your results by comparing them with those in the relevant literature. Finally, you should discuss the potential pitfalls of the methodology used (if any).
(100 marks)
(no more than 3,000 words)
IMPORTANT: For your analysis you MUST use STATA. The reference list,
tables (including notes and titles of the tables) and figures (including notes and titles of the tables) do NOT count towards the word limit. You do NOT need an introduction or conclusion in your report, but you can divide your report into three different sections, one to describe briefly your methodology, one for your dataset (e.g, database used and sampleselection), and one for the discussion of the results.
Suggested structure for the report:
1.1 Methodology 1.2 Data
1.3 Discussion of the results
Option 2
Download the annual reports of two banks, “Bank X” and “Bank Y”, for the last 5 years. These two banks must be headquartered in the same country and must be competitors in at least one line of business (e.g., they engage in “retail banking” activities). Then, compare the two banks in terms of:
a) Overall performance and its main drivers
b) Risk profile
c) Corporate governance structure
d) Dividend payout policy (if any)
e) International activities (if any)
f) Funding strategies
g) Hedging strategies (if any)
(100 marks)
(no more than 3,000 words)
IMPORTANT: The reference list does NOT count towards the word limit. You do NOT need an introduction or conclusion in your essay.
Further guidelines
This assignment requires you to focus on the concepts and theories developed in weeks 1 to 10, and is related to the ILOs 1-2, 4-10. You are expected to read all of the relevant core academic material on ELE. Evidence of reading optional articles will be rewarded if it improves the quality of your answers. The marking criteria are stated in Appendix A below.
IMPORTANT: Academic misconduct
The material you submit must be your own work and written in your own words. Where you have used quoted material, you must make full reference to it.
You might be asked to send the data used in your analysis to the Module Leader (Dr. Thaer Alhalabi), along with any other file that you might have used for your data analysis (e.g.,
Excel file, STATA do-file or log file). Dr. Thaer Alhalabi might also ask you to explain how you ran the regressions, either via email or during an online meeting on Teams. Further investigation of potential academic misconduct might ensue, according to University regulations.
