MGT3090 - Advanced Corporate Finance
Until recently corporate finance was a field detached from the rest of economic discourse. Fortunately, this state of affairs is changing. In this course, students will be exposed to research and researchers that are exploring the strong interrelations between corporate finance and other economic subfields: growth, political economy, theory of the firm, economics of the media, and behavioral finance. We are very fortunate to include as lecturers in this course Professors Zingales and Morck, whose work is pushing forward the frontier.

Corporate Finance II
This second corporate finance course is a practical one. Every example I give is either a current issue in the press or a deal or transaction I’ve worked on in my 17 years as an investment banker. I’m a very frank individual — a few years on the bond desk will do that to you. I tell a lot of war stories about the deals and the personalities involved. I think you’ll find it’s entertaining, even surprising. I impart a lot of knowledge, acquired through hands-on experience,

This course is designed to provide hands-on experience applying empirical finance methods to topical finance questions. The application exercises will culminate in the production of a short research paper on a related empirical finance topic. Particular emphasis will be placed on modeling time-varying volatility and co-variability of security returns, since these conditional moments are important inputs to pricing, dynamic investment strategies, risk management, etc. Both linear and non-linear methods of measuring and forecasting the series of interest will be reviewed.

Corporate Finance I
Alexandra MacKay, Senior Lecturer, Finance
This first corporate finance course starts with the three central finance questions: Where does a firm get its money? What should the firm do with it? How does the firm manage short-run working capital? From there, we build all the tools needed to address those questions.
To answer the first question, you must understand the equity-versus-debt-capital trade-off; what it means to go to those markets, why you would choose to go to one market over another, and what other sources of capital exist.
