Special Issue on Corporate Finance

The primary goal of a corporation’s management is to increase its shareholder value. Corporate finance deals with the strategic financial issues associated with achieving this goal, such as what investments the corporation should make, how the corporation should pay for those investments, how many profits should be returned to shareholders, and whether it makes sense to merge with or acquire another firm. The field of corporate finance has undergone a tremendous development in the past few decades. Substantial empirical and theoretical works have provided a clearer picture of corporate financing and governance, and their impact on firm behavior and macroeconomic activity.

The issue on “Corporate Finance” will be focusing on the latest development in this field. Topics covered include, but are not limited to:

•    Capital structure
•    Payout policy
•    Corporate restructuring
•    Financial contracts
•    Corporate governance
•    The economics of organizations
•    Incentive mechanisms
•    International financial management
•    Implications of microstructure and asset pricing in corporate finance
•    Macroeconomic implications and the political economy of corporate finance

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Corporate Finance.
