Course participants apply economic theory to the analysis of financial markets and the operation of a computer-simulated financial intermediary. Students learn to analyze financial statements, develop and implement asset/liability management strategies, and coordinate activities in management teams. Analysis of the operation of a simulated commercial bank is supplemented with analysis of actual financial intermediaries with the assistance of their officers. Students use spreadsheet programs and prepare and present written and oral reports.
