The course provides insights into the empirical analysis of firms’ financing and investment decisions. We discuss theoretical foundations of long-term financing, capital structure choice, cost of capital determination, capital market efficiency, and corporate takeover decisions as well as respective empirical findings. Moreover, you will learn how to build financial models, handle financial data, and conduct financial analyses using the statistical software R. |
| Voraussetzungen | This is an advanced course in empirical corporate finance. When taking this course you should already know how and why to determine net present values of bonds and shares, and how to read financial statements. Further, you should be familiar with the terms cost of capital, diversification, correlation coefficient, and standard deviation. I will briefly review these concepts, but if you feel you might need a more intense refresher, I recommend attending the BA course “wir390 Financial Management” concurrently, where most of these concepts are discussed in detail. In addition, the course requires you to be open to working with econometric models and software tools. |
