FIN 7055 - International Finance

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

This course will focus on the currency markets, international capital markets, the parity relationships which govern relative prices, and derivative securities used to manage foreign exchange and interest rate risk. We will first discuss the institutional organization of each market. Given the market structure, our aim is to understand how prices are determined in each market. We often rely on theoretical models to make predictions on price determination. Testing these models reveals regularities in market prices and unexplained phenomena. We can then examine how the policies of corporations, governments, and regulators are formed based upon these prices. In other words, we take an in depth look at how these markets function and their implications for market participants. A thorough comprehension of the function of these markets is necessary to make effective fund-raising and investment decisions.
