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.

School of Management, Northwestern University.

the term structure of interest rates, interest
