Stroup
This course is an introduction to financial economics. It is organized around financial institutions (e.g., investment banks and asset management companies), instruments (e.g., collateralized debt obligations), and markets (e.g., over-the-counter), and focuses on essential terminology (e.g., leverage), core competencies (e.g., understanding basic functions of financial intermediaries), and analyses of the relationship between the financial sector and society as a whole (e.g., financial regulation). At the conclusion of the course, students should be able to read and interpret financial events and to actively participate in discussions involving the role of finance in society and critical evaluation of financial policy.
