Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Where does money come from? How did financial markets first develop? What has been the impact of financial markets on economic development and growth?
How does the international financial system work? When did financial crises first arise, and how did they develop over time? This course will delve into these questions, looking at various historical examples from the Middle Ages to the 2000s.
The first part of the course will allow students to acquire a broad overview of the origins of financial institutions and markets, the second part will discuss the history of the international financial system over the 19th and 20th century. By the end of the semester, students will have a firm grasp of the evolution of financial markets over centuries up until now.
Class sessions will focus on the discussion of research papers. Students will also carry out two empirical exercises in R (an introduction will be provided).
