PON Live! Book Talk: Deals: The Economic Structure of Business Transctions

Guhan Subramanian’s newest book “Deals” captures the range of real-life transactional complexities with case studies covering many high-profile negotiations that show how to tackle challenges, such as information asymmetry between buyer and seller, moral hazard, and opportunistic behavior. The book lays out responses to common risks associated with long-term contracts, emphasizing that a deal’s exit rights should be carefully considered at the start of transaction design.

This book is unique in its practical application of economic theory to actual dealmaking and will provide a resource for students and professionals across the business and legal world.
