1 FINA 8322: Ph.D. Seminar in Corporate Finance Spring 2014 Instructor: Christo Pirinsky Class Meets: M 10:00am-12:30pm, DUQ 357 Office: Funger Hall 507 Phone: (202) Office Hrs: W 4:30pm-6:30pm pirinsky@gwu.edu Objective and Style: This course covers six major areas in corporate finance concerned with agency theory and corporate governance, asymmetric information, institutions, capital structure, corporate executives, and the boundaries of the firm. The course emphasizes both classical papers and more recent contributions. It represents a mixture of theoretical and empirical papers. Students are expected to be familiar with basic notions in finance, micro-economic theory, and econometrics. The course will emphasize the behavioral aspects of corporate finance. Course Materials: Academic articles. Much of the reading for the course draws on research articles, as indicated in the course outline. The recently published textbook The Theory of Corporate Finance by Jean Tirole (Princeton University Press) provides a useful reference source for the theoretical topics covered in the course. On the empirical side, Counterfactuals and Causal Inference by Stephen Morgan and Christopher Winship (Cambridge) provides useful reference on the topic of causality. The following two review articles are also helpful: Larcker, D. F. and T. O. Rusticus, 2010, On the use of instrumental variables in accounting research, Journal of Accounting and Economics, Roberts, M.R. and T. M. Whited, 2011, Endogeneity in Empirical Corporate Finance, working paper, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania Structure of the class: Discussion of the new material and the homework assignments (30min.) Presentations (90min.=2x45min.) Concluding remarks (~10min.) Assessment: The assessment for the course will be based on the following scheme: Exams Percent Homework / participation 10% Presentations 30% Final 30% Paper 30% Total 100% Some homework questions will be assigned as we go. They will take the form of a short essay / discussion. Approximately 2 papers (one per person) will be assigned each class for reading and discussion. Students are expected to read the corresponding papers carefully and prepare a 40min. presentation. The presentation needs to summarize the major contribution / results of the paper in a systematic and concise manner. An open discussion will accompany each presentation. 1
2 Each student is expected to work on a research paper during the semester. The objective of the paper is to help you master the format and style of an academic article as well as two widely used databases in Finance and Economics. I don t expect novel contributions to the literature. The paper needs to be based on the Compustat (merged) / CRSP databases, accessible through WRDS. A completed draft of the paper needs to be submitted by the end of the semester. The paper has to be around 20 pages long, including 3 tables and a short reference list. The title of the paper should read Firm Leverage and. You can fill in the blank space as you wish, depending on your interests. For example, if you are interested in innovations, you could choose a title Firm Leverage and Research and Development. The paper needs to have 5 sections: Introduction (3 pages), Hypothesis (2pages), Data description (2 pages), Results (7 pages), Conclusion (1 page). The paper needs to construct a set of accounting and stock price performance measures (e.g. annual returns) for all Compustat firms over the period. The measures need to include some welldefined leverage ratios as well as some proxies of the concept you would like to relate to leverage. Table 1 needs to include summary statistics of all variables. All subsequent tables should have the results. 2
