NBA 5510 - Emerging Markets Finance

Spring. 1.5 credits.

Prerequisite: NCC 5060 or permission of instructor.

G. Karolyi.

This course explores financial decision making that is special to emerging economies. These countries constitute the engine-of-growth opportunities in the world economy, but their markets are also prone to crises, a feature that reinforces the importance of measuring risk. Most of the decisions the course evaluates are corporate financial management decisions from the point of view of a multinational corporation that is targeting an investment in an emerging market or is based in an emerging market.
