This course develops the framework for evaluating the gains, costs, and risks of managing firms’ financial assets and liabilities, as well as their interaction with real-side decisions (investment, mergers, R&D, employment, compensation, etc.). It takes the perspective of financial managers at public corporations, individuals that are responsible for financial decision-making, as well as that of market participants ― e.g., investment bankers, analysts, fund managers ― that monitor and evaluate corporate policies.
