This program will enable you to navigate the dense thicket of regulations governing U.S. financial institutions. You will be introduced to the objectives and strategies of financial regulation, the various types of financial institutions to which regulation applies, the key features of the regulatory frameworks governing these institutions, and the primary challenges facing financial regulators.
Beginning with conventional deposit-taking banks, you will examine the risks embedded within the business of banking and how regulation seeks to manage these risks. You will then explore several other forms of “non-bank” financial intermediation, including investment banks, insurance companies, wholesale funding markets, structured finance markets, money market and other investment funds, and financial market infrastructure. Upon the completion of this program, you will have explored the broader role of financial institutions, as well as their regulations, in society.
You will be required to purchase the following two textbooks to complete your coursework:
“Principles of Financial Regulation” (2016) by John Armour, Dan Awrey, Paul Davies, Luca Enriques, Jeffrey N. Gordon, Colin Mayer, and Jennifer Payne
“Financial Regulation: Law and Policy” (3rd ed. 2021) by Michael S. Barr, Howell E. Jackson, and Margaret E. Tahyar
