This
course studies how financial markets (such as those for bonds, stocks, and
foreign exchange) and financial institutions (banks, insurance companies, mutual
funds, and other institutions) work. Financial markets and institutions not
only affect your everyday life but also involve huge flows of funds throughout
our economy, which in turn affect business profits, the production of goods and
services, and even the economic well-being of most countries in the world. What
happens to financial markets and institutions is of great concern to
politicians and can even have a major impact on elections. The study of
financial markets and institutions will reward you with an understanding of
many exciting issues.
