Courses
taught previously
I have previously taught the following Ph.D. and MBA courses:
Finance III: Corporate Finance Theory (Finance 553) (co-taught with S. "Vish" Viswanathan). Duke University, Fuqua School of Business. [Web page from Fall 2008.]
This second year Ph.D. course provides a rigorous introduction to the theory of corporate finance.
Financial Economics: Research Seminar (Finance 591) (co-taught with Michael Brandt). Duke University, Fuqua School of Business. [Syllabus from Fall 2008.] This Ph.D. course for second and third year students introduces students to the art of critically reading and
analyzing current research in finance.
Financial Contracting and the Business Cycle (August 20-23, 2007). University of Oslo. [Web page from Fall 2008.] This short graduate course discusses the implications of financial contracting for the business
cycle.
The topics include the effect of financial constraints due to agency problems and collateral constraints
on economic activity and asset prices, the role of the capital of financial intermediaries,
as well as the impact of financial constraints on capital reallocation.
Seminar in Finance: Aggregate Implications of Financial Contracting (Finance 520) (co-taught with Arvind
Krishnamurthy). Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University. [Syllabus from Spring 2005]
This Ph.D. course is a second year topics course in financial economics.
The course studies the equilibrium implications of endogenous financial
contracts. Static and dynamic models of economies with contracting
frictions (e.g., imperfect information and limited enforceability)
and optimally determined financial contracts are covered and the
implications for both quantities and prices are considered. The
course is thus at the intersection of corporate finance/contract
theory and asset pricing/macroeconomics. Specific topics covered
include the dynamics of agency costs, financial intermediation,
liquidity, capital reallocation, collateral, default, and non-exclusive
contracts.
Finance I (Finance 430). Kellogg School of Management,
Northwestern University.
This MBA course provides an introduction to finance. Topics include stock and bond valuation, the term structure of interest rates, interest rate risk, capital budgeting, portfolio theory, asset pricing models, and efficient markets.
