Description

This is a postgraduate course. The course focuses on important studies in the literature on contract theory and corporate finance theory. I decide to leave out an interesting topic, namely corporate governance, because it is studied in another postgraduate course (FINS 5577).

In addition, I only cover contract theory papers that directly examine topics in corporate finance. Hence, the course aims to cover contract theory, agency models, real option models, firm decision making under uncertainty, and asymmetric information models with applications to financing decisions and investment decisions.
