Money and Banking

Summer 2024

Course Description

This course covers monetary policy, banking services and bank regulation, as well as the functionalities of financial markets and institutions. Major attention will be given to banking and financial crises, their origins and resolution, looking both at the US and  other  countries.  We  look   at   financial  structure,  financial  development  and financial crises, with special emphasis on the recent subprime crisis. In addition, we will cover the economics of bank management, along with the effects of the behavior of individual financial institutions on the financial  system  as  a whole  and on the

economy as a whole.

The  course will  also  cover  the  theory  and  practice  of monetary  policy using the Federal Reserve Bank of the US as our main example. We will cover issues of central bank independence, goals of monetary policy, control of the money supply and tools used  by  central  banks,  currency  exchange  and  issues  of  tactics   and  strategy. Consideration will also be given to monetary policy in conditions of deep recession

and deflation, quantitative easing and unconventional monetary policy instruments in the most recent crisis. Discussion of money demand and the transmission mechanism is also presented while looking at debates on these crucial issues for central banks.

Academic Integrity

As members of the Jinan University academic community, students are expected to be honest  in  all  of  their  academic  coursework  and  activities.  Academic  dishonesty includes (but is not limited to) cheating on assignments or examinations; plagiarizing, i.e., misrepresenting as one’s own work any work done by another; submitting the same paper, or a substantially similar paper, to meet the requirements of more than one  course  without  the  approval  and  consent  of  the  instructors  concerned;  or sabotaging other students ’ work within these general definitions. Instructors, however, determine what constitutes academic misconduct in the courses they teach. Students found  guilty  of  academic  misconduct  in  any  portion  of the  academic  work  face penalties that range from the lowering of their course grade to awarding a grade of E

for the entire course.
