Course Description

1) What are financial markets and why do we need them? 
2) What are financial institutions (a.k.a. “banks”)? Why do we need banks? 

3) What causes financial crises and what are some of the patterns that emerge when financial markets and institutions don’t work as intended? 

4) What policies can be taken to help financial markets and institutions work better?

Prerequisite: ECO101 Principles of Macroeconomics or equivalent knowledge is a prerequisite, as knowledge of macroeconomic fundamentals is required.
