Prerequisite: ECON 1203, 1204, or 2200. A survey of money, commercial banking, financial institutions, the Federal Reserve System, and the formulation and execution of monetary and economic stabilization policy.

This course explores the “banking system” and the role of money and interest rates in the world and US economy. In this course we will investigate the causes and consequences of recent financial crisis in the U.S. and throughout Europe. We will delve into the subsequent “bailouts” of global financial markets. First we will survey the history of money, financial instruments and their purposes, the behavior of interest rates and exchange rates and the roles of the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank systems in global financial markets.

Class Rules & Attendance The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all classes and any required lectures and field trips. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, UIBK students who have to miss a UNO class due to UIBK examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused class days will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class.
