1 14.09: Financial Crises IAP 2017 Units: [P/D/F] Location: E Lectures in January 2016 From 10:30am-12pm on the following days: 1/23, 1/24, 1/25, 1/26, 1/30, 31/1, 2/1,2/2 Associate Professor Alp Simsek E52-552, Office hours: Thursdays, 1:30pm-2:30pm asimsek@mit.edu Course Overview and Objectives This mini-course is an introduction to economic theories of financial crises. We will focus on financial intermediaries ( banks ), and analyze the channels by which their problems are transmitted to the nonfinancial sectors of the economy. We will focus on the amplification mechanisms that exacerbate financial crises, such as leverage, fire sales, bank runs, interconnections, and complexity. We will also explore the different perspectives on the origins of crises, such as mistaken beliefs and moral hazard, and discuss the optimal regulation of the financial system. Throughout, we will draw upon examples from financial crises around the world, especially the recent subprime financial crisis. Our objective is to gain a deeper understanding of these events by using economic theory as well as empirical evidence. The course will meet for 8 lectures in the last two weeks of IAP from Monday until Thursday. Specifically, the lecture dates are: January 23, 24, 25, 26, 30, 31 and February 1,2. The lectures will take place between 10:30am-12pm in E Course website: TBA Prerequisites: There are not formal prerequisites for the course. But you should be committed to come to the lectures and engage with the material. Calculus (18.01) and introductory macroeconomics (14.02) would be helpful but they are not required. Requirements and Grading The course will be graded on a pass/fail scale. Class participation will account for 30% of the grade. A take-home exam will account for the remaining 70%. The exam will be distributed at the end of the last lecture (on February 2) and it will be due in 24 hours (on February 3). Textbook and Readings There is no required textbook. We will mainly rely on lecture notes. A number of optional articles complement the lecture notes and will be made available through the website. 1
