Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For this Special Issue, we welcome the submission of papers on the general theme of corporate finance. As a subdivision of finance, corporate finance deals with how businesses address funding sources, capital structure choice, accounting rules, and investment decisions. Corporate finance is often concerned with maximizing equity per share value through short-term and long-term financial planning and the implementation of various policies and tactics. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include:
- Literature review (including the role of taxes and growth);
- Capital budgeting (with tax ramifications);
- Capital structure (trade-off, agency, pecking order);
- Dividend policy (which also involves the plowback of retained earnings);
- Common related areas (leasing, mergers, working capital, investment banking);
- Special related areas (hedge funds, costs of capital, security offerings, green financing);
- New innovative research involving theoretical, empirical, or pedagogical studies.
Prof. Dr. Rob Hull
Guest Editor
