This unit focuses on how globalisation and financial innovation led to the 2008 financial crisis, and the monetary policy and regulatory responses to which this gave rise. It focuses on what lessons this presents for policy making and for investment decisions in the private sector. Issues examined include the robustness of financial systems in the West, China and elsewhere as new global issues arise such as stranded assets and global pandemics. Students will be provided with a toolkit of concepts to understand these issues including risk, derivatives, securitisation, and regulatory and tax arbitrage.
