Finance concepts and principles are divided into three sections with the first group of principles dealing with competition in an economic environment. The second group deals with ways of creating value and economic efficiency and the third group of principles deals with observing financial transactions.

The Signaling Principle: Actions that convey information is defined as another extension of the self-interested behavior principle which also addresses the problem of asymmetric information. The Behavioral Principle: When all else fails, look at what others are doing for guidance is defined as the direct application of the signaling principle (Emery, D.R., Finnerty, J.D., and Stowe, J.D., 2007).
