| Omschrijving | The course deals with state-of-the art theory about Corporate Finance. The focus is from a micro-economic perspective, i.e. principal-agent theory. Game theoretic (mathematical) models will be discussed and analyzed and students are required to both master the derivations in these models and develop intuition for the various results. Topics that are dealt with are: separation of management and ownership, moral hazard and adverse selection in financing decisions, credit rationing, effects of diversification on financing constraints, active and passive monitoring, collateral, optimal contract design, and CEO remuneration. The course consists of a number of lectures and tutorials. During the tutorials homework assignments will be discussed. | ||||||||||||||||||||
