The latest edition in the Principles of Corporate Finance dynasty,
the 14th edition continues in its tradition of showing how theory
applies to the very practical problems and decisions faced by
financial managers. Looking at what financial managers do and why,
the book aims to give readers a solid understanding of theory so
that they know what questions to ask when times change and new
problems need to be analyzed, eventually standing as a reference
and a guide to help them make financial decisions, not just study
them. This new edition welcomes Alex Edmans to the author team,
whose global authority and expertise in corporate governance,
responsible business and behavioural finance have been invaluable
in bolstering coverage of these topics. A new chapter is entirely
dedicated to the subject of balancing shareholder value with
promoting the interests of all stakeholders, the potential
conflicts inherent in this, and how a responsible business should
behave. There have been several changes to chapter structure as
well as expanded discussion of issues that have grown in importance
since the previous edition including behavioural finance, and
financial innovation driven by AI, big data and cloud computing. It
has also grown to take a more international focus, to bring in more
information and perspectives on major developing economies such as
China and India, and looking at how financing and governance
systems differ around the world. The new edition retains and builds
on the pedagogical features of previous editions, with new chapter
content summaries, new self-test questions interspersed at key
points, and a raft of 'Beyond the page' examples available online
through links in the text. Click here to view the sample chapter

Top voices highlight important changes in the role of bishop.
Compelling essays, written by bishops, other clergy, and academics
from across the Episcopal Church, reflect the breadth of thinking
on the history, current state, and future of the role of leadership
within the denomination and the wider Anglican Communion. Topics
include the transformation of the role over the last fifty years, a
review of historic documents on the episcopacy, issues of race and
gender, and the definition of ministry and leadership. This volume
will be of interest to leaders across denominations as well as
scholars.
This volume explores the measurement of economic and social
progress in our societies, and proposes new frameworks to integrate
economic dimensions with other aspects of human well-being. Leading
economists analyse the light that the recent crisis has shed on the
global economic architecture, and the policies needed to address
these systemic risks.

The authors argue that the view that market-based systems are best
is simplistic; a more nuanced approach is necessary. Financial
systems are crucial to the allocation of resources in a modern
economy. They channel household savings to the corporate sector and
allocate investment funds among firms; they allow intertemporal
smoothing of consumption by households and expenditures by firms;
and they enable households and firms to share risks. These
functions are common to the financial systems of most developed
economies. Yet the form of these financial systems varies widely.
In the United States and the United Kingdom competitive markets
dominate the financial landscape, whereas in France, Germany, and
Japan banks have traditionally played the most important role. Why
do different countries have such different financial systems? Is
one system better than all the others? Do different systems merely
represent alternative ways of satisfying similar needs? Is the
current trend toward market-based systems desirable? Franklin Allen
and Douglas Gale argue that the view that market-based systems are
best is simplistic. A more nuanced approach is necessary. For
example, financial markets may be bad for risk sharing; competition
in banking may be inefficient; financial crises can be good as well
as bad; and separation of ownership and control can be optimal.
Financial institutions are not simply veils, disguising the
allocation mechanism without affecting it, but are crucial to
overcoming market imperfections. An optimal financial system relies
on both financial markets and financial intermediaries.
Experts from economics, finance, law, policy, and banking discuss
the design and implementation of a future capital market union in
Europe. The plan for further development of Europe's economic and
monetary union foresees the creation of a capital market union
(CMU)-a single market for capital in the entire Eurozone. The need
for citizens and firms of all European countries to have access to
funding, together with the pressure to improve the efficiency and
risk-sharing opportunities of the financial system in general, put
the CMU among the top priorities on the Eurozone's agenda. In this
volume, leading academics in economics, finance, and law, along
with policy makers and practitioners, discuss the design and
implementation of a future CMU. Contributors describe the key
design challenges of the CMU; specific opportunities and obstacles
for reaching the CMU's goals of increasing the economic well-being
of households and the profitability and viability of firms; the
role that markets-from the latest fintech developments to
traditional equity markets-can play in the future success of CMU;
and the institutional framework needed for CMU in the aftermath of
the global recession. Contributors Sumit Agarwal, Franklin Allen,

China's Financial System: Growth and Risks provides an updated and
comprehensive review of China's financial system and compares it
with financial systems in other countries. It reviews what has
worked and what has not within the markets and intermediaries in
China, and further considers the effects of the recent development
of China's financial system on the real economy. It also examines a
non-standard financial sector, which operates beyond the markets
and banking sectors and consists of alternative financing channels,
governance mechanisms, and institutions. Finally, the authors
provide prospects for future research on several unresolved issues
including how China's financial system can integrate into the
world's markets and economy without being interrupted by damaging
financial crises. China's Financial System: Growth and Risks draws
four main conclusions about China's financial system and its future
development. First, compared with other developed and emerging
economies, China's financial system has been dominated by a large
banking system. Second, China's financial markets have witnessed
significant development, however, their current scale and
importance are not comparable to those of the banking sector and
they may not be effective in allocating resources in the economy.
Third, the alternative financial sector has played an important
role in satisfying the financing demand and maintaining the high
growth rate in the real economy. Finally, a significant challenge
for China's financial system is to avoid damaging financial crises
that can severely disrupt economic stability.
Financial crises have been pervasive for many years. Their
frequency in recent decades has been double that of the Bretton
Woods Period (1945-1971) and the Gold Standard Era (1880-1993),
comparable only to the period during the Great Depression.
Nevertheless, the financial crisis that started in the summer of
2007 came as a great surprise to most people. What initially was
seen as difficulties in the U.S. subprime mortgage market, rapidly
escalated and spilled over first to financial markets and then to
the real economy. The crisis changed the financial landscape
worldwide and its full costs are yet to be evaluated. One important
reason for the global impact of the 2007-2009 financial crisis was
massive illiquidity in combination with an extreme exposure of many
financial institutions to liquidity needs and market conditions. As
a consequence, many financial instruments could not be traded
anymore, investors ran on a variety of financial institutions
particularly in wholesale markets, financial institutions and
industrial firms started to sell assets at fire sale prices to
raise cash, and central banks all over the world injected huge
amounts of liquidity into financial systems. But what is liquidity
and why is it so important for firms and financial institutions to
command enough liquidity? This book brings together classic
articles and recent contributions to this important field of
research. It is divided into five parts. These are (i) liquidity
and interbank markets; (ii) the public provision of liquidity and
regulation; (iii) money, liquidity and asset prices; (iv) contagion
effects; (v) financial crises and currency crises. The aim is to
provide a comprehensive coverage of role of liquidity in financial
crises.
What causes a financial crisis? Can financial crises be anticipated
or even avoided? What can be done to lessen their impact? Should
governments and international institutions intervene? Or should
financial crises be left to run their course? In the aftermath of
the recent Asian financial crisis, many blamed international
institutions, corruption, governments, and flawed macro and
microeconomic policies not only for causing the crisis but also
unnecessarily lengthening and deepening it.
Based on ten years of research, the authors develop a theoretical
approach to analyzing financial crises. Beginning with a review of
the history of financial crises and providing readers with the
basic economic tools needed to understand the literature, the
authors construct a series of increasingly sophisticated models.
Throughout, the authors guide the reader through the existing
theoretical and empirical literature while also building on their
own theoretical approach. The text presents the modern theory of
intermediation, introduces asset markets and the causes of asset
price volatility, and discusses the interaction of banks and
markets. The book also deals with more specialized topics,
including optimal financial regulation, bubbles, and financial
contagion.
