Item Description:The empirical analysis of firms' financing and investment decisions-empirical corporate finance-has become a dominant field in financial economics. The growing interest in everything "corporate" is fueled by a healthy combination of fundamental theoretical developments and recent widespread access to large transactional data bases. A less scientific-but nevertheless important-source of inspiration is a growing awareness of the important social implications of corporate behavior and governance. *Takes stock of the main empirical findings to date across an unprecedented spectrum of corporate finance issues *Discusses everything from econometric methodology, to raising capital and capital structure choice, and to managerial incentives and corporate investment behavior. *Contributors are leading empirical researchers that remain active in their respective areas of expertise *Writing style makes the chapters accessible to industry practitioners

In the second volume, contributors focus on the ways corporations are structured and the practices through which they can be bought and sold. Thus, its major subjects include dividends, capital structure, financial distress, takeovers, restructurings, and managerial incentives.
