Cronqvist, J. Smith, Staff The course is organized around the theme "financing and governance during a firm's lifecycle." We studyfinancing in the early stages of a firm, e.g., venture capital, and discuss the initial public offering process. Next we study governance in public firms, e.g., the role of large shareholders, executives' pay, independent directors, and proxy fights. We ask whether governance affects firm valuations. Finally, we study bankruptcy, financial restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, and leveraged buyouts in large, mature corporations. The goal is to provide students the opportunity to develop deep understanding of the theory and practice that underlie corporate financial policy and corporate governance. Prerequisites: Economics 86, 101, 120, and 134. Offered every year.
