Current Year Courses

• 48901 1 International Finance
  Today the volume of international financial flows far exceeds the volume of international trade. This mini-course addresses the international aspects of U. S. domestic banking and security markets and contrasts them with offshore and other foreign markets. The focus is on U.S., European, and Japanese regulatory systems and the role of international financial institutions. Among the particular topics are the eurodollar and eurobond markets; foreign exchange markets; futures, options and derivative markets; and an introduction to emerging markets finance. This course is intended to complement, rather than substitute for, courses in U.S. securities and banking regulation. The student's grade will be based on a take-home exam and class participation.
