Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These lecture notes are developed for an introductory course in corporate finance based on the ``Fundamentals of Corporate Finance'' textbook by Robert Parrino and David Kidwell. However, these notes share material with my corporate finance II & III lecture notes. Thus, this text can serve as a refresher when taking intermediate or advanced corporate finance courses.Two key features of these lecture notes are employed to facilitate classroom interaction and enhance learning. First, questions are embedded throughout these notes without answers. This allows class participants an opportunity to respond. It also provides readers an opportunity to pause and check their understanding. Second, some numerical examples are referenced but excluded from the student edition of the notes. This encourages students to attend class and take notes as the instructor works through numerical examples. These notes cover a broad range of topics including the role of financial managers, the financial system and interest rate levels, reading and analyzing financial statements, time value of money, risk and return, stock and bond evaluation, capital budgeting, and cost of capital considerations. Readers may be interested in ``Lecture Notes in Finance: Corporate Finance II,'' lecture notes for the second undergraduate course in corporate finance and ``Lecture Notes in Finance: Corporate Finance III,'' lecture notes for the graduate course in corporate finance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greetings. It is my wish that these notes equip the reader in at least two ways. First, I would like the reader to gain knowledge in identifying ways to improve operating, investing, and financing activities. Second, I would like the reader to learn the use of tools for project selection, project risk assessment, and project risk management.These lecture notes were designed to supplement, not replace, the text by Brigham and Daves (2010). Throughout the notes you will find questions to check your understanding of the material. These questions also foster classroom interaction. Also, I have intentionally left out numerical example details to encourage note taking during class. Numerical examples will be worked in class so you can fill in the blanks. These lecture notes are organized into three parts. Part I covers the fundamental concepts of financial management. The concepts range from risk and return calculations to financial statement analysis. Part II utilizes the concepts of Part I to forecast financial statements, compute the cost of capital, and to make decisions that increase corporate value.While Part II is focused on broader issues in corporate value, Part III is focused on project selection concepts. Part III includes detailed discussions on project selection criteria, project risk assessment, and managing project risk using real options.

Juxtaposing the key methods to applications in both physics and finance articulates both differences and common features, this gives students a deeper understanding of the underlying ideas.

Download or read book Measuring Corporate Default Risk written by Darrell Duffie and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-06-23 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, based on the author's Clarendon Lectures in Finance, examines the empirical behaviour of corporate default risk. A new and unified statistical methodology for default prediction, based on stochastic intensity modeling, is explained and implemented with data on U.S. public corporations since 1980. Special attention is given to the measurement of correlation of default risk across firms. The underlying work was developed in a series of collaborations over roughly the past decade with Sanjiv Das, Andreas Eckner, Guillaume Horel, Nikunj Kapadia, Leandro Saita, and Ke Wang. Where possible, the content based on methodology has been separated from the substantive empirical findings, in order to provide access to the latter for those less focused on the mathematical foundations. A key finding is that corporate defaults are more clustered in time than would be suggested by their exposure to observable common or correlated risk factors. The methodology allows for hidden sources of default correlation, which are particularly important to include when estimating the likelihood that a portfolio of corporate loans will suffer large default losses. The data also reveal that a substantial amount of power for predicting the default of a corporation can be obtained from the firm's "distance to default," a volatility-adjusted measure of leverage that is the basis of the theoretical models of corporate debt pricing of Black, Scholes, and Merton. The findings are particularly relevant in the aftermath of the financial crisis, which revealed a lack of attention to the proper modelling of correlation of default risk across firms.

Download or read book Inefficient Markets written by Andrei Shleifer and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2000-03-09 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The efficient markets hypothesis has been the central proposition in finance for nearly thirty years. It states that securities prices in financial markets must equal fundamental values, either because all investors are rational or because arbitrage eliminates pricing anomalies. This book describes an alternative approach to the study of financial markets: behavioral finance. This approach starts with an observation that the assumptions of investor rationality and perfect arbitrage are overwhelmingly contradicted by both psychological and institutional evidence. In actual financial markets, less than fully rational investors trade against arbitrageurs whose resources are limited by risk aversion, short horizons, and agency problems. The book presents and empirically evaluates models of such inefficient markets. Behavioral finance models both explain the available financial data better than does the efficient markets hypothesis and generate new empirical predictions. These models can account for such anomalies as the superior performance of value stocks, the closed end fund puzzle, the high returns on stocks included in market indices, the persistence of stock price bubbles, and even the collapse of several well-known hedge funds in 1998. By summarizing and expanding the research in behavioral finance, the book builds a new theoretical and empirical foundation for the economic analysis of real-world markets.
