This course will focus on the theory and the practice associated with the financing decisions of firms. The course combines the theory of capital structure and financing decisions with empirical results and practical applications of these topics. Topics are typically introduced in a lecture that covers the theory. The theoretical results are then put into practice by working on case studies and analyzing empirical findings. The main course objective is for students to learn how to apply theoretical models in real-world settings and to align the predictions of the theory with empirical findings.
