The field of finance covers the economics of the contingent claims. Financial economists study the valuation of these claims, the markets in which they are traded, and their use by individuals, corporations, and the society at large. The term "finance" may thus incorporate any of the following:
The study of money and other assets;
The management and control of those assets;
Profiling and managing project risks;
The science of managing money;
The industry that delivers financial services
As a verb, "to finance" is to provide funds for business or for an individual's large purchases (car, home, etc.).
