a few questions

I have a few questions about investment banking terms and concepts that I could not answer myself:

  1. What are the primary areas within the ECM department?
  2. What is a shelf filing and what are its uses?
  3. What is a "bake off"?
  4. What dies it mean for a deal to be effective or filed with the SEC?
