Handbook of the Economics of Finance: Corporate Finance

by George M. Constantinides (Editor), Milton Harris (Editor), Rene M. Stulz (Editor)

Overview

In the 11 articles in this first of two parts, top scholars summarize and analyze recent scholarship in corporate finance. Covering subjects from corporate taxes to behavioral corporate finance and econometric issues, their articles reveal how specializations resonate with each other and indicate likely directions for future research. By including both established and emerging topics, Volume 2 will have the same long shelf life and high citations that characterize Volume 1 (2003).
