Abstract

The overall purpose of the course is to engage students into the discussion of current issues and challenges that global financial markets are facing in the aftermath of financial crisis. The course will touch on numerous public policy issues, many of which are politically controversial and most of which are likely to continue to be important for years to come. A goal of the course is to provide students with a framework within which these public policy issues can be addresses in a useful manner. The first half of the course will be devoted to public policy issues in asset pricing and market microstructure (taught by Anna Obizhaeva) and the second part of the course will be devoted to current topics in corporate finance (taught by Pavle Radicevic).
