Course Content

This course aims to analyze how financial markets and financial institutions, financial system as a whole, affect the macro economy. We briefly discuss the macroeconomic theories, and the risks to the macro economy due to the structure of the financial systems. Moreover, the causes and effects of international financial crises, especially the banking crises and asset bubbles, will be examined throughout the course. The course intends to focus on not only the theories but also the empirics of the subjects that will be argued, with special emphasis on the different country examples.
