Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the normative and descriptive approaches to corporate finance. Particular attention is paid to the descriptive approach, namely empirical finance, which is connected with the widespread use of information technology and access to a large volume of financial data. Through empirical financial analysis constant progress is being made as regards the verification of the assumptions and conclusions which stem from neoclassical concepts. However, empirical studies in the area of corporate finance require proper preparation in respect of such econometric methods. (original abstract)
