In the 11 articles in this first of two volumes, top scholars will summarize and analyze recent scholarship in corporate finance.  Covering subjects from corporate taxes to behavioral corporate finance and econometric issues, their articles will reveal how specializations resonate with each other and will indicate likely directions for future research. By including both established and emerging topics, Volume 2 will have the same long shelf life and high citations that characterize Volume 1 (2003).
