Contenuti

The goal of this course is to provide the tools for understanding deeply the evolution and functioning of contemporary financial system, and the challenges it poses to pratictioners as well as regulators/policy makers.

To this end, we will develop the tools for understanding the nature and scope of security design (included asset securitization), the role of financial institutions in maturity transformation, provision of liquidity and functioning of financial markets; the role of collateral and repo markets; and the policies of central banks in liquidity/financial crises.

We focus on four interrelated topics:

Topic 1. Market Liquidity,  Funding Liquidity and Asset Prices  - role of Collateral and REPO Market

Topic 2. Dual Role of Asset Prices: Balance Sheet effects and Amplification of Shocks

Topic 3.  Liquidity Provision and Runs:

 - role of financial institutions in maturity transformation, provision of liquidity and functioning of financial markets;

- Securitization : REPO (Shadow) BANKING

- Central Bank Interventions  (quantitative, qualitative easing)

Topic 4.  Asset Pledgeability (collaterability) and Asset Liquidity:  Liquidity Premia and asset Prices (included Bond Spreads)
