Seminar Description:
Is there a common economic and / or contractual structure across different financial
transactions? To analyze this question, seminar participants will explore how
economists model the agency problems which are underlying various financial
transactions. Law students will investigate the contractual or legal solutions that have
evolved in legal practice. The seminar begins with the classical owner vs. manager
conflict in joint stock companies. Thereafter, we will examine the incentive structure of
(majority) shareholders vis-à-vis minority shareholders, bondholders, employees as
well as corporate outsiders. In the second part of the seminar, we will focus on specific
transactions such as credit risk transfers, M&A deals and the funding of risky ventures.
For each topic an economist will be matched with a law student to present a state-ofthe art agency model and the according contractual or legal response. Finally, we will
jointly evaluate how successful these legal solutions perform in practice.
Prerequisite:
Enrolment as a B.Sc. student at the Department of Economics or LL.M. student at the
