The first part of the course consists of lectures based on Tirole’s (2006) textbook and a number of core articles investigating the microeconomic foundations of Corporate Finance, as well as mostly theoretical research articles employing dynamic and continuous-time models. The second part of the course will be based on primarily empirical research articles employing the state-of-the-art empirical methods in Corporate Finance. The third part sheds light on recent developments and research avenues in Corporate Finance, which is intended to guide students towards ideas for their own research.
