Omschrijving	This course provides a theoretical introduction to corporate finance, financial structure of the firm and financial contracting. The course elaborates on corporate finance topics covered in introductory corporate finance courses in bachelor programmes. The distinctive feature of the course is that it emphasizes the theoretical foudations of corporate finance and hence focuses on theoretical models, rather than practical rules and/or details of institutional arrangements. The course will use many insights from contract theory, and especially focuses on moral hazard behavior and principal-agent problems.
