Finance Case Studies

The Yale School of Management International Center for Finance (ICF) provides academic and professional support for research in financial economics. Part of the academic support that the ICF provides goes toward the development of finance case studies to be used in classes as teaching instruments. Along with the ICF’s financial contributions, Yale SOM alumni and ICF Advisory Board members also assist in funding and creating finance case studies.

Case Study

ICF Faculty Director William Goetzmann and ICF Deputy Director Geert Rouwenhorst have created a number of new finance case studies and use them in their very own courses.  Over the years they have been able to produce cases on hot topics and trends which helps keep the Yale SOM curriculum current.

The case writing team has also teamed up with alumni and ICF Advisory Board members to create case studies based on real life problems that they have experienced firsthand or on topics that they find relevant to their professional industry. Last year, ICF Advisory Board member Adam Blumenthal ’98, worked with the case writing team to develop several private equity case studies which played an integral part in the elective course that he teaches at Yale SOM titled, MGT 806 Private Equity: Value Creation.

Below are some of the most recent finance case studies featured on our ICF website:
