Summary: Finance and financial intermediation are central to modern economies. This book covers all of the material a sophisticated economist needs to know about this area. It begins with an overview of financial markets and their operation. It then covers asset pricing for standard assets and derivatives, and analyses what modern finance says about firm behaviour and capital structure. The book covers money, exchange rates, electronic payments methods, and cryptocurrencies. The book then covers financial intermediation. The book then examines the role played by finance and financial intermediation in the Great Recession of the 2000s. After this, the book switches to public finance and government borrowing which is central to major economic events. It examines the incentives to monetize the public debt and its consequences. The book closes with an examination of sovereign debt crises and an analysis of their various forms.
