FNCE 126 - Money & Capital Markets

Institution:

Santa Clara University

Subject:

Finance

Description:

Role and function of financial institutions, financial flows, interest rate structures, money, and capital markets. Emphasis on the implications for the formulation of business financial policy. This course is intended as a thorough introduction to the various markets that comprise a fair and efficient financial system. The financial system in capitalistic economies consists of various interacting markets, each with well-defined institutions and agents. This course explores the ideas and mechanisms by which value is created by financial markets, the roles of players in the system, the flow of information and the design features that manage incentive problems in a practical manner. Traditional courses in money and banking tend to be institutionally focused; in contrast, this course is market-focused. Common themes and concepts will be developed by the exploration of a new market in each class. Students will survey various markets with a view to a complete understanding and technical mastery of the role of the market, its players, traded securities, and risks.
