Danthine J-P., Donaldson J.B. Intermediate financial theory

3rd ed — Oxford: Elsevier, 2015. — 545 p. — ISBN: 9780123865496Intermediate Financial Theory is intended primarily for master level students with a professional orientation, a good quantitative background, and who have completed at least one introductory finance course (or have read the corresponding text). As such, the book is targeted especially for masters students in finance, while remaining accessible and appropriate for an advanced MBA class in financial economics, one with the objective of introducing students to the precise modeling of many of the concepts discussed in their capital markets and corporate finance classes. In addition, we believe the book can be a useful reference for doctoral candidates in finance, particularly those whose lack of prior background might prevent them from drawing the full benefits of the very abstract material typically covered at that level. Finally, we hope it will be a useful refresher for well-trained practitioners.
