Banking and Monetary Policy in the Global Economy
This course analyses the relationships between the financial system, central banks and the economy. We will explore the following questions: What purpose does the financial system serve? How are money and credit created in the modern economy? How do banks, central banks and financial markets interact? How have central bank tools and objectives evolved? How should the financial system be regulated? We will make frequent references to current debates among policy-makers and financial market participants.
