Fz00873. FINANCIAL THEORY

The Financial Theory course presents an intermediate-level approach to corporate finances that provides students with tools necessary for financial decision making. As financial theory is basically an application of microeconomic theory, the course starts with the microeconomic foundations of financial decision making. Concerning the different topics under discussion, however, there are frequent references to concepts pertaining to accounting, whose fundamentals are also reviewed. Much has been written about whether the financial market is efficient or not. Due to the importance of this debate and its further implications, the relevant literature is reviewed. Another topic of current interest is stock evaluation and investment decisions, which are related to the final part of this course: modern theory of portfolios and diversification. Students study different models of equilibrium and their implications for stock valuation as well as statistical methods for testing these models' validity. Supposing that the corporate goal is to maximize the price of its common stock, students develop and apply decision criteria for budgets and capital structure, mergers, and dividend policies. After completing the theoretical foundations of finance, the practical implementation of these concepts is studied. For this purpose, speakers from brokerage agencies, finance experts working for different newspapers, and investment agents are invited to participate. Furthermore, students use software packages for financial analysis.
