Course Description:
This is an introductory but rigorous course in finance that focuses on financial markets and instruments, with some coverage of institutions. The course provides students with an understanding of the roles of financial markets and institutions, how financial securities are priced and traded, and the structure and functioning of the global financial system. I cover important security pricing and valuation calculations as well as theory and intuition behind the functioning of the financial system.
I explain how the concepts we cover are used in practice referring to my experience in the finance industry and central banking. I also explain some of my research relating to commodity and equity markets, as well as market microstructure.
