This course exposes students to two major areas in corporate finance: Conflicts of interests between the various stakeholders of a corporation and information asymmetries between insiders and outsiders. Both aspects have profound effects on firms’ optimal financial strategies, such as capital structure, payout policy, risk management, and fund raising. This course also explores how corporate governance mechanisms can be used to align conflicts of interest between managers and shareholders. The course ends with a discussion of how to finance very large projects, which require billions of dollars.
