Chair of
Finance

Prof. Dr. Ulrich Pape, Chair Owner of the Finance chair, Berlin campus, ESCPCorporate financial decisions comprise the decision on how to invest the cash of the firm as well as the decision on how to raise financial funds from investors. These decisions are complex because financial markets are imperfect, and asymmetric information causes conflicts of interest between investors and the firm. Furthermore, investors as well as managers do not always behave rationally.

The research at the Chair of Finance focuses on developing a better understanding of how corporate financial decisions are made. Our teaching provides our students with the essential understanding of financial theory and how financial models can be applied in practice. In research as well as in teaching the Chair aims at combining theory with practical orientation.
