Course objectives
This course provides an overview of the fundamental financial choices of firms from a theoretical and practical point of view. The course will review the main models in the theory of corporate finance and their real world implications. The emphasis on theory and analytical tools applied to real-world decision making will allow a deep understanding of firms’ capital structure, corporate governance, and topics in long-term finance and investment.- Oggetto:

Learning assessment methods
Exams will be a mixture of multiple-choice questions, open-ended questions, and quantitative problems. For quantitative problems, you will need to show your work (the final answer is not enough). Exams are NOT open book/notes. The quantitative problems on exams will resemble those on the homework assignments.Calculators and Other Equipment on Exams: You can use calculators – simple or financial – in class. If you are in doubt about your ‘device’, please come see me before the first exam. No other devices are going to be allowed during exams – no phones, laptops, tablets, etc.
