  • Teaching. Course syllabi are available in Adobe Acrobat format.
    • Corporate Finance (Finance II) This course covers the basics of capital budgeting, dividend policy, and capital structure. It is the second course in the finance sequence.
    • Financial Strategy and Tax Planning. This course is an advanced corporate finance class. It discusses the ways in which taxes and other non-tax factors influence investment, financing, and dividend decisions.
    • Real Options Valuation. This is a course that examines the different ways to value firms and projects ranging from the simple (multiples) through the more complex (real options). The class uses three techniques (Black-Scholes, Binomial, and Simulation) to value options. The class examines the option to invest (in the future), the option to wait (invest later), the option to abandon (quit investing later), and the option to open and shut an investment. 
    • Case Materials. These are cases which I have written and use at Kellogg.
    • Course Materials for Students.
