Abstract

Banking is an optional course for the master level students at ICEF. The course is divided into parts. The first part of the course (part A) is focused on theoretical aspects of banking. The second part of the course (part B) is will cover the main empirical contributions that have been recently published in the academic journals. This material will illustrate how banking theories introduced in the first part of the course stand against the empirical evidence. Prerequisites: For part A, some knowledge of game theory and the basic concepts of modern finance is recommended. For part B, a good knowledge of panel data econometrics methods and bachelor’s level of banking is recommended.

Course Contents

  • Banking theory: 1) Why financial intermediaries exist.
    Our first objective is to understand what a bank is, what banks do, and the role of banks in the resource allocation process. In particular, in order to assess why financial intermediaries exist, we will study what are the important features of reality that are overlooked in the Arrow-Debreu model of complete contingent markets.
  • Banking theory: 2) The asymmetric information justifications of financial intermediation.
    Our second objective is to present the asymmetric information justifications of financial intermediation by exploring different theories of financial intermediation. In particular, we will focus on the model with adverse selection by Leland and Pyle (1977) to show that if borrowers form partnerships (which are interpreted as financial intermediaries), they are able to obtain better financing conditions than by borrowing individually.
  • Banking theory: 3) The equilibrium of the credit market.
    We study credit market by focusing on the possibility of credit rationing (the demand from credit exceeds supply at the prevailing interest rate).
  • Banking theory: 4) Bank runs and the lender of last resort.
    Bank runs may develop into a bank panic. We focus on how the Central Bank could prevent such contagion by playing the part of a lender of last resort.
  • Banking theory: 5) Regulation and its justifications.
    We examine the justifications of banking regulation (fragility of banks and cost of bank failures; protection of depositors’ and customers’ confidence, cost of bank failures) and instruments of banking regulations.
