Download or read book Theoretical Foundations of Corporate Finance written by João Amaro de Matos and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporate finance is the area of finance that studies the determinants of firms' values, including capital structure, financing, and investment decisions. Although there are several excellent texts in corporate finance, this is the first to focus on the theoretical foundations of the subject in a consistent and integrated way at the Ph.D. level. In addition to a textbook for advanced graduate students, it can also serve as a general reference to researchers and sophisticated practitioners. The material presented is carefully selected with an eye to what is essential to understanding the underlying theory, ensuring that this text will remain useful for years to come. The book is divided into three parts. The first section presents the basic principles of valuation based on the absence of arbitrage, including a discussion of the determinants of the optimal capital structure based on the seminal results of Modigliani and Miller. The second section discusses the implications of agency problems and information asymmetries to capital structure, giving particular attention to payout policy and to debt contract design. The concluding portion presents different ways of restructuring capital, including going public, going private using stock repurchases or leveraged buyouts, and mergers and acquisitions. Each chapter includes exercises that vary in difficulty, with suggested solutions provided in an appendix. This book will assuredly be the standard doctoral- and professional-level explication of corporate finance theory and its appropriate applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 2,0 (B), European Business School - International University Schlo Reichartshausen Oestrich-Winkel (Corporate Finance and Capital Markets), language: English, abstract: This book examines the links between corporate finance and the theory of the firm. As a basis for this analysis, theoretical foundations in corporate finance and the theory of the firm are provided. Furthermore, current research on the theory of the firm and corporate finance for the recently emerged type of firm of the human-capital intensive firm is presented. The most significant part of the analysis is the evaluation of the interrelation between corporate finance and the theory of the firm using a 3x3 matrix. This matrix compares three important theoretical frameworks of the firm (the firm as a nexus of contracts, as a collection of growth options and as a collection of assets) with three major fields of corporate finance (capital structure, corporate governance and valuation). This assessment is done for the traditional asset-intensive industrial firm, one of two basic types of firms in today's economy. For giving an additional insight into current research, the recently emerged human-capital intensive firm is shortly described in comparison to the traditional asset-intensive firm, and implications for corporate finance for this new type of firm are explained. As a conclusion, three major results can be stated: firstly, the theory of the firm definitely influences corporate finance for all described views of the firm, and it is thus an important basis for corporate finance. This fact makes it necessary to consider the underlying issue of the theory of the firm for each problem in corporate finance. Secondly, different views of the theory of the firm have different implications for corporate finance. For example, the appropriate valuation method depends on the considered view of t

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Magnificent."—The Economist From the Nobel Prize–winning economist, a groundbreaking and comprehensive account of corporate finance Recent decades have seen great theoretical and empirical advances in the field of corporate finance. Whereas once the subject addressed mainly the financing of corporations—equity, debt, and valuation—today it also embraces crucial issues of governance, liquidity, risk management, relationships between banks and corporations, and the macroeconomic impact of corporations. However, this progress has left in its wake a jumbled array of concepts and models that students are often hard put to make sense of. Here, one of the world's leading economists offers a lucid, unified, and comprehensive introduction to modern corporate finance theory. Jean Tirole builds his landmark book around a single model, using an incentive or contract theory approach. Filling a major gap in the field, The Theory of Corporate Finance is an indispensable resource for graduate and advanced undergraduate students as well as researchers of corporate finance, industrial organization, political economy, development, and macroeconomics. Tirole conveys the organizing principles that structure the analysis of today's key management and public policy issues, such as the reform of corporate governance and auditing; the role of private equity, financial markets, and takeovers; the efficient determination of leverage, dividends, liquidity, and risk management; and the design of managerial incentive packages. He weaves empirical studies into the book's theoretical analysis. And he places the corporation in its broader environment, both microeconomic and macroeconomic, and examines the two-way interaction between the corporate environment and institutions. Setting a new milestone in the field, The Theory of Corporate Finance will be the authoritative text for years to come.

Download or read book Principles of Corporate Finance Theory written by Ebenezer Ashley and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-05-30 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The competitiveness of the global business environment makes it imperative for organizations to make cogent and strategic investment decisions that would assure their survival in the market. Strategic business and investment decisions are a prerequisite for an organization's ability to maintain an edge over its competitors in the industry. Rapid globalization calls for the broadening of an organization's horizon beyond the local market and industry; rapid globalization calls for investment strategies and decisions that consider foreign competitors, especially when importation and exportation abound in almost every country across the globe. This publication seeks to guide corporate executives in their investment decisions by examining the impact of corporate financial theories and applications on the performance and development of organizations. This book provides useful information on how managers could initiate and complete investment projects successfully. It sheds light on some risks inherent in management functions and the steps that could be taken by organizations to prevent or minimize those risks. The book outlines some theoretical perspectives of seminal thinkers in finance; and how transactions related to mergers and acquisitions could be successfully accounted for under the current SFAS, among others.
Download or read book Dynamical Corporate Finance written by Umberto Sagliaschi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The way in which leverage and its expected dynamics impact on firm valuation is very different from what is assumed by the traditional static capital structure framework. Recent work that allows the firm to restructure its debt over time proves to be able to explain much of the observed cross-sectional and time-series variation in leverage, while static capital structure predictions do not. The purpose of this book is to re-characterize the firm’s valuation process within a dynamical capital structure environment, by drawing on a vast body of recent and more traditional theoretical insights and empirical findings on firm evaluation, also including asset pricing literature, offering a new setting in which practitioners and researchers are provided with new tools to anticipate changes in capital structure and setting prices for firm’s debt and equity accordingly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The second edition of Modern Corporate Finance: Theory and Practice combines a forward-looking vision of corporate finance with the tried and true practices of the past. This text emphasizes the modernist movement in finance, which is based on systematic methodology with an emphasis on deductive reasoning and empirical validation. The modernist movement produces a market-value-based approach to finance that emphasizes shareholder wealth maximization, options, and agency relationships. This movement has expanded without question, the frontiers of knowledge in finance. Until Modern Corporate Finance: Theory and Practice, instructors have lacked a framework from which to teach these concepts at the introductory level."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
