Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Corporate Finance II aims to provide students with a deeper understanding of the theoretical models underlying most of the research on corporate finance and financial intermediation. It will start with a brief overview of contract theory and the economics of asymmetric information and then goes on to study the seminal models and papers in corporate finance applying these principles. The course content will be the following:

I) Capital structure, Modigliani-Miller irrelevance propositions, signalling and the pecking order theory (Myers and Majluf, 1984).
II) Mergers and acquisitions and the free-riding problem (Grossman and Hart, 1980)
III) Firm financing, moral hazard and pledgeable income (Holmström and Tirole, 1997)

If time allows, other topics will also be covered.

There will be both lectures and tutorials. At tutorials, problem sets will be discussed and the solutions will be presented by the students.

Assessment and permitted materials

There will be a mid-term exam and a final exam. Students will be asked to present their solutions to selected problems at tutorials. This will also be graded.
