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.

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.

The lecture slides are outlines of the lectures, not complete notes. They will be posted ahead of each lecture (I will do my best to have them there at least 24 hours in advance). I recommend you download those ahead of class – print them or store them on your PCs, as you prefer.

The textbook we will primarily use in class is:

 Financial Markets and Corporate Strategy: European Edition 
Autore: David Hillier, Mark Grinblatt, Sheridan TitmanEdizione: 2013
Casa editrice: McGraw Hill
ISBN: ISBN: 0077129423

 

Additional reading material may be assigned and discussed as the semester proceeds and it will include academic papers and articles from the press. Electronic version of the reading material or links and download instructions will be provided on CAMPUSNET. The content of the additional readings is considered optional – with the exception of the material that overlaps with the content of class lectures – but I might offer extra-credit questions on exams based on such content.
