Overview of class

The course examines money, banking, and financial markets in the modern economy. It starts by looking at the structure of financial flows and intermediation in the economy as a whole, followed up by a more intensive look at fixed income and equity markets. It then moves to banking, covering banks' evolving structure and role, as well as the matching response of financial regulation. Finally, the course examines monetary theory and policy, including the function and history of money, modern central banking practice, transmission of monetary policy to economic outcomes, and new innovations in response to the recent crisis.
