Introduction to economic models of disclosure and cost of capital

Instructor: Greg Clinch (Macquarie University)

This course is designed to introduce students to some of the analytical models used in accounting and finance research to investigate disclosure and cost of capital. There are two broad objectives:

1. To become familiar with and gain an understanding of analytical models relating to disclosure;

2. To explore how those models can be used to develop our intuition regarding the link between disclosure and cost of capital.

There will be a single assignment. This can be done individually or in groups, though group work is recommended.

Online zoom session : Saturday 14 November 12pm - 2pm

Please see more details in the subject outline.
