DESCRIPTION
This course focuses on the activities of banks, as providers of money and credit, and on the linkages between banks, financial markets and the real economy in a global economic context. The course consists of three parts. Part 1 addresses the fundamentals of money, credit, banking, asset pricing and exchange rates and discusses the monetary and financial system (domestic and international). Part 2 explores the money supply process and investigates issues in monetary theory including theories of money demand and theories about the relationship between money, credit and overall economic activity. Part 3 focuses on monetary policy and the monetary policy transmission mechanism with specific attention to the European Central Bank.
