Specifically, it deals with the questions of how an individual, company or government acquires the money needed and how they then spend or invest that money. Core financial theories can largely be divided into the following categories: financial economics, mathematical finance and valuation. In the context of institutions, finance is often split into the following major categories: investment management, corporate finance, personal finance and public finance.

- International Finance - Theory and Policy
- Intermediate-level international economics texts seem to fall into one of two class. Some are written for students who may one day continue in advanced training and develop advanced general equilibrium models and use sophisticated mathematics. Other intermediate texts are written for noneconomics majors and present descriptive information about the world and the bare basics about how economic models are used to describe that world. This text strives to reach a median between both approaches.
