A recognized classic, Financial Theory and Corporate Policy provides a concise, unified treatment of finance, combining theory, empirical evidence, and applications. Major contributions in financial literature are discussed and summarized. The book provides MBA and doctoral students with an excellent bridge to prevailing scholarship in finance. Two chapters discuss futures markets and financial applications for the corporate financial officer. The fundamentals of discounting, management of cash flows, capital budgeting, utility theory, and other relevant topics are integrated into the modern theory of finance. A Student Solutions Manual giving answers to end-of-chapter problems is also available.

Contract Theory by Patrick Bolton and Mathias Dewatripont, a comprehensive textbook on contract theory suitable for use at the graduate and advanced undergraduate levels, covers the areas of agency theory, information economics, and organization theory and presents many applications in all areas of economics, especially labor economics, industrial organization, and corporate finance. The exercises at the end of the book not only review, chapter by chapter, the basic concepts introduced in the text but also explore additional ideas and applications based on teaching material accumulated over the years by the authors and other instructors of contract theory. The solutions manual to this essential text gives complete solutions to 27 of the 54 exercises in the text, allowing students to study and compare their answers and take greater advantage of this crucial part of the book. The solutions manual follows the structure of the text, grouping exercises by chapter. Chapters 2-6 cover such static bilateral contracting problems as screening, signaling, and moral hazard; chapters 7 and 8 treat multilateral contracting, including auctions, bilateral trade under private information, and multiagent moral hazard; chapters 9 and 10 explore problems of repeated bilateral contracting; and chapters 11-13 cover incomplete contracts, the theory of ownership and control, contracting with externalities, and common agency.

Limit federal overreach in education, which is rightly within the purview of state and local governments. Congress should allow states to opt out of existing federal education programs, eliminate duplicative and ineffective programs operated by the U.S. Department of Education, and equip parents with more control over how existing education dollars are spent through funding portability so that families can better avoid CRT indoctrination.

Prohibit compelled speech and reinforce the Civil Rights Act of 1964. No public education employee shall compel a teacher or student to adopt, affirm, adhere to, or profess ideas that are in violation of Title VI and Title IX of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Such ideas include the notions that individuals should be adversely or advantageously treated on the basis of their race, ethnicity, color, or national origin or that individuals, by virtue of race, ethnicity, color, or national origin, bear collective guilt and are inherently responsible for actions committed in the past by others of the same race, ethnicity, color, or national origin.

Offer alternative procedures for entry into the teaching profession that do not include the ideology of critical pedagogy. Nowhere has CRT permeated curricula and instruction more than in university-based schools of education. Colleges of education have a tremendous reach when it comes to training teachers who populate public and private schools across the country. State lawmakers should end requirements that teachers graduate or receive training from a university school of education, which significantly reduces enrollment in schools of education, and states should allow alternative teacher certification outside colleges of education.

Prohibit education officials from requiring public school teachers to participate in diversity training programs as a condition of employment. District and school officials must not be allowed to mandate that public school teachers affirm claims of moral guilt or innocence based on their racial identity in order to remain employed in a public school.

In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic brought traditional public education to a standstill, and families across the country became accidental homeschoolers. Nearly 50 million children in public schools were deprived of in-person instruction. The pandemic highlighted how badly families needed options so that their children would not be trapped in government schools that were still closed long after authorities knew it was safe to reopen. It also underscored the importance of education choice in enabling families to select learning environments that align with their values.

Higher education badly needs reform as well. To limit taxpayer exposure to student loan debt and better position higher education to meet future economic needs, Congress should eliminate the PLUS Loan program, pursue long-overdue accreditation reform to focus on quality assurance, decouple federal financing (student loans and grants) from accreditation to allow students more flexibility in pursuing career-oriented education options, and cap indirect cost payments to universities for research grants. Congress should withstand pressure to cancel student loan debt, which would be regressive, fuel further increases in college costs, and shift a massive debt burden onto American taxpayers.

Reject critical race theory in DC public schools by prohibiting District of Columbia public school and charter school employees from compelling any teacher or student to adopt, affirm, adhere to, or profess ideas that promote race or sex stereotyping or scapegoating or that violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Establish education savings accounts for children in DC and children of military families, two populations whose education is funded by federal taxpayers and under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Congress.

Decouple federal financing from higher education accreditation, enabling students to pay for individual classes and courses of study that are more applicable to the job market and eliminate the federal PLUS Loan program.

Situate decision-making about existing federal funding closer to the families who are affected by those decisions. The policies contained in the Academic Partnerships Lead Us to Success (APLUS) Act would accomplish this goal by allowing states to opt out of the programs authorized under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and put those existing dollars toward any lawful education purpose under state law.

Cap indirect costs to universities. Currently, the federal government overpays universities for grant-funded research, requiring taxpayers to shell out more than the minimum indirect rate paid for research by the private sector to universities. Not only is this unfair to taxpayers, but it results in taxpayers subsidizing other agendas at universities, such as an ever-growing DEI staff. Congress should cap the indirect rate the federal government pays universities so that it matches or is closer to the rate that the private sector pays for research.

Reject critical race theory and its discriminatory application in schools. States should prohibit schools from applying CRT and violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by compelling students to affirm racially discriminatory ideas. Parents should have a private right of action against public schools that violate these prohibitions.

Nearly every American, regardless of income or medical condition, has access to health insurance coverage, but too many Americans lack access to affordable, high-quality, patient-centered care. Due in part to government policies, market consolidation among hospitals, insurers, and health care providers has left patients with fewer choices and higher costs while the government and the health care industrial complex continues to grow.
