Current Issues in Corporate Theory: Seminar
Professor Reinier H. Kraakman
2 classroom credits LAW-92200A Spring
This seminar examines a rotating set of issues in corporate theory and legal policy. This year it will focus on private equity, the governance of financial institutions, executive compensation, and cross-national convergence in corporate law and governance. In each area, seminar readings will be economically oriented, and will usually include an element of cross-national or historical comparison. Although training in economics or empirical methods is not required, the seminar readings assume some interest in -- and/or tolerance for -- these disciplines. The only real prerequisite for the seminar is a course in corporate law, at Harvard or elsewhere.
