Course history
  • Introduction

    We start the course with an introduction to basic theoretical elements needed to understand investment decision rules, corporate policy decisions and capital budgeting/valuation. Then, we move forward to the topic of investment under uncertainty, which provides the main theoretical and methodological insights on portfolio selection, the capital asset pricing model (CAPM model) and the cost of capital. This topic is covered in more depth in the ØABED3500 "Investments" course. The topic of Capital Structure builds on the cost of capital to provide a deep understanding of optimal corporate policy decisions, in regards to capital structure, investment and payout policy, in the presence of market imperfections. We also cover the interlinkages with operating decisions and other investment decisions of the firm by developing the intuition on working capital management, leasing and risk management. The last topic draws on all of the above to cover more advanced valuation with leverage and capital budgeting. This last topic provides the grounds for the ØABED3700/4100 "Valuation" course.

    Language of instruction is English.
