Anotace
The course focuses on the economic analysis of corporate law. By completing this course, students should understand the economic principles of the functioning of the business corporation in general, and publicly traded corporations in particular. Students should also understand the economic principles and consequences of the legal regulation of such corporations. The subject also deals with the economic analysis of particular legal topics, such as legal entity, limited liability, corporate governance, stock markets, corporate financing and bankruptcy. During the course, students are expected to present and explain their position on the questions being discussed.
Important information about the prerequisites: The course requires prior knowledge of economics at the level of an introductory microeconomics course (e.g., Mankiw, G.: Principles of Economics, chapters 1-19). For the Faculty of Law regular master students, this implies that they should have completed the course Theory of national economy I. Throughout the classes and exams, we will presume that the students have the requisite knowledge of this material.
