ADEC 2890 Money, Banking and Financial Systems
This course introduces concepts in financial economics with a focus on practical application of finance theory to investment decisions as well as on the institutional framework of financial systems. We will explore how individuals and firms make investment decisions under uncertainty with a particular focus on topics such as discounted cash flows, risk, leverage, interest rates, exchange rates, and applications of the framework for various securities. Studying these topics will allow us to build a foundation for understanding the existence of the financial institutions and markets as well as the central banks and their role in the financial system.
