Business

For undergraduate and graduate courses in corporate finance, financial management, and financial economics.

Financial Economics is an introductory text intended for use in the first finance course.  It has a broader scope and a greater emphasis on general principles than most other introductory level texts in finance, which typically focus exclusively on corporate finance.  This text encompasses all the subfields of finance — corporate finance, investments and financial markets and institutions — covering the general principles to provide students with an appreciation of the whole discipline’s subject matter. 

This book seeks to explain finance through its functions rather than its institutions, concentrating on the three pillars of finance: optimization over time, asset valuation, and risk management.

For undergraduate and graduate courses in corporate finance, financial management, and financial economics.

This book seeks to explain finance through its functions rather than its institutions, concentrating on the three pillars of finance: optimization over time, asset valuation, and risk management.

The Three Pillars of Finance

The three pillars of finance represent the basic “laws” and principles that apply across all the topical subfields of the discipline.  By basing the text on these principles, students can see finance as one big picture instead of as unconnected pieces.

Incorporates All Areas of Finance

This text provides students with a broad spectrum of finance including investments, institutions, and corporate finance.  This idea departs from most text, which typically focus on corporate finance, exclusively.

New! Policy Boxes

New! End-of-Chapter Material

At the end of each chapter, problems have been added, challenging students to apply key financial principles covered in the chapters.
