Features: "The Financial Studies Graduate Curriculum Textbook of Fudan University" is a project under the Fudan University Financial Discipline Construction Plan. Its purpose is to take the various important branches of contemporary finance as the content for building financial studies graduate textbooks, creating a effect in discipline construction, further enhancing the level of financial studies teaching and research, and promoting the cultivation of talents in the important branches of finance. This series of textbooks covers a broad field, including internationally recognized branches of finance such as international finance and monetary banking, as well as finance fields that need development in China. The practice of corporate finance has a long history, but its theory emerged relatively late. Investment decision-making, financing decision-making, and asset management are the main contents of corporate finance. Capital structure, dividend policy, and valuation are three main research objects, or core contents, of corporate finance. Since the 1950s, both the industry and academia have been enthusiastic about researching these fields. The theoretical study of capital structure in the true sense began in the United States in the 1950s.
