The course will explore the variety of financial contracts to fund corporations. Each financial contract can be defined in terms of remuneration and control rights. Banks are typically more active than bond-holders by collecting information and tend to be tougher in case of firm distress. Venture capitalists retain more control rights than bond-holders and are more similar to equity-holders. Corporate governance is intimately related to the choice of the financial structure of corporations. All topics will be analyzed both from the theoretical point of view and referring to the empirical evidence, whenever possible, around the world.
Pre-requisites. Microeconomics; ability to read econometric outcomes.
