This module provides a solid foundation in econometric principles as they apply to the fields of money, banking, and finance. It introduces essential quantitative methods and techniques used in empirical economic analysis, with a strong emphasis on their practical application.
A key component of the module involves hands-on training in the use of the econometric package STATA, enabling you to implement econometric models and interpret real-world financial data. You will learn to construct and evaluate linear econometric models using various types of data, including cross-sectional, time series, and panel data. Additionally, you will understand the relevance of these models in addressing key questions in banking and financial economics.
By the end of the module, you will have the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to conduct empirical research and critically evaluate existing studies in the fields of money, banking, and finance.
This module focuses on the banking system, exploring how financial institutions facilitate credit, manage risk and contribute to economic growth. It also examines the crucial role of central banks in shaping monetary policy and ensuring financial stability. You will analyse economic theories behind deposit collection, loan origination and the broader function of financial intermediaries.
The module explores how monetary policy influences banking activities and how financial crises emerge, spread and are managed. Key topics include:
- systemic risk
