Course Description

 

This course will cover issues related to both international financial markets and the financial operations of a firm within the international environment. The first part of the course will examine issues related to the international markets, including international commercial policy, international investment, foreign exchange markets, the euromarkets, and currency derivative markets. The second part of the course will consider financial issues associated with the operation of a firm in the international environment. Specifically, this part of the course will focus on the identification, measurement, and management of the impact of exchange rates on the firm; issues related to the taxation of international income; the implications of political risk on project evaluation and financial structure, firms' cost of capital for international projects; financing decisions in a global market; and methods for evaluating the performance of foreign operations. While the course discusses theoretical basis on the various issues, it relies on both empirical evidence and discussion of firms' real world activities. The course style is mostly lectures with some class discussions. It evaluates students through class participations, case studies, and end of course exam.
