Advances in Corporate Finance and Financial Management

Dear Colleagues,

Corporate finance is a rapidly growing field in today’s globally integrated economic and financial environment. A corporation, as the core of free enterprise and the starting point of the capitalist corporate design, is a very complex unit, with its multiple dimensions dealing with legal issues, taxation, efficiency, debt, equity, bankruptcy, accounting, financial statements, governance, securitization, time value, derivatives, and leases. Corporate finance today is arguably the most complex subcategory in finance.

Today’s financial world has a significantly heterogeneous structure. On one side, researchers study the advanced financial markets with dominating exchanges and well-studied characteristics; on the other side, emerging markets shine as an alternative focusing point and attract researchers with their intriguing characteristics. Yet, another alternative, frontier markets, stand out as having even more intriguing characteristics.

This Special Issue focuses on frontiers in corporate finance and financial management. Within this context, the Special Issue looks for theoretical, empirical, or methodological articles on corporate structure, valuation, firm-specific risk premiums, CEO compensation, stakeholders’ perceptions, managerial influence, hybrid financing, financial systems, regulation, finance and innovation, consumer finance, emerging markets, and sustainable finance. Theoretical articles providing new insights as well as empirical papers testing or extending the theory are highly encouraged.

Prof. Dr. Kudret Topyan
