Description and Table of Contents
Description
Financial Decisions in Emerging Markets is the first corporate finance book to take into account the context of emerging markets and the problems they present, including the relative lack of market efficiency. It reviews financial theory, with a focus on investment and financing decisions as they relate to investors in emerging markets. The objective of the book is to juxtapose the assumptions of financial theory against the realities prevailing in emerging countries and to propose more relevant approaches for investment analysis. This book provides readers with a solid background to evaluate investments in emerging countries.
