Overview
The first part (lectures 1-6) discusses mergers and acquisitions, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) andmulti-factor models and arbitrage pricing theory.The second part (lectures 7-12) analyses the key concept of the Efficient MarketsHypothesis (EMH) and explains the basic concepts that underlie dividend policy choice andthe capital structure decisions of the firms. This analysis is necessary in order to assesshow much compensation should shareholders receive and whether the choice of debt toequity mix matters. Furthermore, we explain the sources and patterns of corporate financingand present an overview of the process involved in raising capital. In the third part (lectures13-16) published papers related to corporate financing and in particular, firms' real decisionsunder capital market imperfections are presented and discussed. The fourth part (lectures17-19) focuses on the role of the financial system. We provide an overview of theUK andthe international financial market, how they operate and the issues of financial innovationand regulation in these markets. Finally, in lecture 20 we revise the key points of the course.
