Description
Modern corporate finance is concerned with the interactions between a number of agents involved in the life of a firm, including managers, shareholders, lenders, regulators, competitors, and customers. These agents have different incentives, and different sources of information. As a result, their relationships are beset with problems of information asymmetry, adverse selection, and moral hazard. How do these problems affect the ability of firms to raise capital? How do they affect the firm's capital structure? How should contracts be structured, in order to alleviate these problems? These are some of the issues in corporate finance.
