Doel vak
Corporate Finance studies firms as economic decision makers. The goal ofthis course is to develop a framework that provides guidance for
investment and financing decisions. This requires not only a fundamental
understanding of most common corporate finance theories (Bridging Theory
and Practice - Knowledge), but also a selection of sensible applications
for them (Academic and Research Skills).
Our main decision criterion is based on value creation, which we will
learn to quantify in a flexible valuation model. Practical applications
for the knowledge are widespread and not only of interest to managers,
but part of a toolkit required by everyone who is dealing with financial
markets (Bridging Theory and Practice - Application).
At the end of the course you are able to:
- contrast financing incentives provided by equity and debt
financing;
- distinguish between implications derived from various capital
structure theories and put them into perspective;
- extend derived theories to other corporate decisions like payout
policy and risk management;
- construct and critically assess valuation models;
- categorize institutional features of markets for corporate
securities;
- recall stylized empirical facts of corporate security markets;
- explain the most common corporate governance mechanisms.
Inhoud vak
This course offers a coherent overview for students with interests infinancial markets or the intent to pursue a career in finance. Our
teaching approach includes a sound mix between formal/quantitative
analysis and qualitative discussion. From a modeling perspective, we
extend the methods learned in Finance I and II (or economic courses) and
put them into a corporate setting. When talking about value-driving
factors, we see close links to Economics and Management of Organizations
and Marketing. Overall, the content learned in this course enables
students to understand corporate decisions/valuations by focusing on the
key aspects and connecting them to applicable theories.
