Financial Management

Contemporary history unveils a sophistication of financial markets and instruments—in an interplay of asymmetry of information, principal-agent disconnect, and externalities—to the extent of making them vague and obscure to common understanding. The objective of this course is to develop a critical thinking and assessment of modern financial and accounting tools and practices that shaped today’s economy.

- Define the goals of corporations,
- Assess tail risks,
- Unravel the different levels of market efficiency,
- Understand the implications of risk seeking, information asymmetry, and leverage,
- Elaborate on the major financial events of the past 30 years.
