About Course

While many undergraduate finance textbooks are mostly descriptive, economic analysis in most graduate texts is too advanced for seniors. This book closes the gap between these two extremes, offering a textbook that studies economic activity in financial markets, focusing on how consumers determine future consumption and the role of financial values.

Covered areas include:

An examination of the role of finance in the economy using basic economic principles, which finally advances to introductory postgraduate analysis.
A microeconomic study of capital asset pricing when there is risk, inflation, taxes and asymmetric information.
An emphasis on economic intuition using geometry to explain formal analysis.
an extended treatment of corporate finances and the evaluation of public policies.
