WRUCK Harvard University Mailto:kwruck@hbs.edu PETER TUFANO Harvard Business School Mailto:ptufano@hbs.edu Our new Finance Course Abstracting Journal (FEN-Course) is devoted to the rapid, worldwide dissemination of innovative courses addressing subject areas covered by the Financial Economics Network (FEN) journals. Innovative courses include courses that: cover new and emerging fields, bring the findings of cutting-edge research into the classroom, utilize unique materials or educational approaches, and/or address standard subject matter in a particularly effective way. Subject areas include, but are not limited to: Corporate Finance and Organizations, Banking and Financial Institutions, Capital Markets, International Finance, Emerging Markets, Derivatives, and Real Estate. Courses designed for undergraduates, graduate students and executives are all welcomed, as are courses adopting a variety of educational formats. The latter includes lecture-based courses, case-based courses, project courses, and courses based on other approaches to learning, e.g. simulated trading in financial markets. In disseminating innovative course materials, we are committed to upholding standards of collegiality, referencing and documentation equal to those that are standard in our research efforts. It is not common in the profession to reference the source of ideas in teaching materials in the same fashion that we reference the source of ideas that are developed in journal articles and books. Yet ideas from courses and teaching materials strongly influence the work of scholars, students and managers. We strongly encourage the acknowledgment and appropriate citation of such work. We invite you, fellow teachers and scholars, to make use of the material offered in FEN-Course in your own courses, teaching. If you do so, we request that you reference the material as you would any piece of scholarly work. Submissions to FEN-COURSE can be sent to the editors, Karen Hopper Wruck kwruck(a)hbs.edu, or Peter Tufano ptufano(a)hbs.edu As part of a submission package we would like to receive the following: 1) A course description of up to 500 words. 2) A document, such as a class by class reading list with full references for as many of the materials as possible, including cases, articles, exercises, problem sets, assignment questions, etc. The more complete and detailed your document, the more useful it will be to colleagues. To reduce the administrative burden on your office, we strongly recommend that you make this document available for distribution in electronic form. 3) JEL codes representing the appropriate topic areas covered by your course. These codes are available from http://www.econlit.org/elclasjn.htm#d2head 4) A brief description of the type of course (required, elective, undergraduate, graduate, executive), number of times the course has been offered, enrollment, and history of its development, if these are not included in the course abstract or accompanying document. Any questions regarding FEN-COURSE can be directly addressed to the editors kwruck(a)hbs.edu or ptufano(a)hbs.edu A D V I S O R Y B O A R D ____________________________________________________________ FINANCE COURSE ABSTRACTS FRANKLIN ALLEN Nippon Life Professor of Finance and Economics, University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School MICHAEL J.
