The build up to the crisis global background
Low real interest rates stimulated borrowing and financial innovation
Long rates were low because of high saving especially by Asianeconomies
Short rates were held low in the US
Buildup of debt and asset price boom

The build up to the US crisis
Structural background:
Rush to sub prime lending in US, encouraged by government and
compensation schemes for bankers
Accelerating shift to securitisation, credit assessment neglected
for CDOs and other ABS
Low levels of liquidity and aggressive liability management by
banks
Some ABS held in SIVs and conduits, ABCP financed (Basel 1)
Context of global liquidity glut and search for yield (sub-prime and

The Structure of Financial Markets
Financial Markets are the institutions through which a person (or an
institution) who wants to save can directly supply funds to a person (or an
institution) who wants to borrow. There are several categorization of
financial markets:
(i) Debt and Equity Markets
(ii) Primary and Secondary Markets
(iii) Exchanges and Over-the-Counter Markets
(iv) Money and Capital Markets
(v) Foreign Exchange Markets

Characteristics of Debt Markets Instruments
Debt instruments:
- Buyers of debt instruments are suppliers (of capital) to the firm, not
owners of the firm
- Debt instruments have a finite life or maturity date- Debt instruments have a finite life or maturity date
- Advantage is that the debt instrument is a contractual promise to pay
with legal rights to enforce repayment
- Disadvantage is that return/profit is fixed or limited
- An interest rate is the cost of borrowing or the price paid for the rental of
funds

payments received from a debt instrument with
its value today

Yields to Maturity on a 10%-Coupon-Rate Bond Maturing in
Ten Years (Face Value = $1,000)
When the coupon bond is priced at its face value, the yield tomaturity equals the coupon rate

Rate of Return and Interest Rates (contd)
The more distant a bonds maturity, the lower the rate of
return that occurs as a result of an increase in the interest rate
Even if a bond has a substantial initial interest rate, its return
can be negative if interest rates rise

can be negative if interest rates rise

Rate of Return and Interest Rates (contd)
At first it frequently puzzles students that a rise in interest rates
can mean that a bond has been a poor investment.
The trick to understand it is to recognize that a rise in the interest
rates means that the price of a bond has fallen.rates means that the price of a bond has fallen.
A rise in interest rates therefore means that a capital loss has
occurred, and if this loss is large enough, the bond can be a poor
investment indeed.

Primary and Secondary Market
Primary Markets: the new issues of stocks, bonds or other seucrities
typically marketed to the public by investment bankers
IPOs and seasoned new issues
in the case of bonds, a public offering and a private in the case of bonds, a public offering and a private
placement refers to the issue that usually is sold to one or
a few institutional investors and is generally held to
maturity
Secondary Market: trading of already-issued securities among
investors. Trading in the secondary markets does not affect the
outstanding amount of securities; the ownership is usually transferred
from one investor to another.

Financial Intermediaries
Financial intermediaries are financial institutions through which savers candirectly provide funds to the borrowers. The word intermediary reflects the role ofthese institutions in standing between savers and borrowers.
Generally one distinguishes two types of financial intermediaries: banks andnon-bank financial intermediaries. The latter can be divided into formal andinformal.
The non-financial intermediaries include: The non-financial intermediaries include:
Insurance companies
Pension funds
Mutual Funds
NGOs
Money Transfer Agencies
Over the past several decades, the non-bank financial institutions have become important players in financing business.

Adverse Selection and Moral Hazard: Assymetric
information
Adverse Selection:
Before transaction occurs
Potential borrowers most likely to produce adverse outcomes are ones most likely
to seek loans and be selected
Example:Example:
Moral Hazard:
After transaction occurs
Hazard that borrower has incentives to engage in undesirable (immoral) activities
making it more likely that wont pay loan back
Example:

Example Assymetric Information
A risk neutral enterpreneuer considers founding a private limited company (limited liability in GB). The newcompany can undertake one of the following projects (or pursue one of the following strategies), which arecharacterised by uncertain pay-offs in the two (equally likely) states of the world after one year.
States 1 2 Total value
Probabilities 0,5 0,5
Investment 1 80,000 180,000 130,000
Investment 2 200,000 40,000 120,000
Both projects require an investment of 90,000 EUR in t=0. To keep things simple, assume that all people are riskBoth projects require an investment of 90,000 EUR in t=0. To keep things simple, assume that all people are riskneutral and the risk-free interest rate is 0. The problem here is that of assymetrical information and incentives tohurt the other party. Potential providers of capital cannot observe and therefore not enforce by legal meanswhich project the enterprenuer finally implements. But they are clevel enough to understand that they areexposed to the danger of moral hazard.
a) Which project should/would the enterprenuer undertake if he were to provide all of the require funding byherself or if she could effectively commit herself to invest in the project which she promises to others.
b) Now assume that the entreprenuer looks for a loan to fully finance her preferred investment project. Theenterprenuer does not have any money. Which repayment would a bank request to receive (and thus at thesame time: what would bet he agreed nominal interest rate on a loan of 90,000 EUR) provided that:
i) the enterprenuer/borrower can make a credible and binding commitment concerning herinvestment choice
ii) the enteprenuer/borrower cannot make a credible and binding commtiment which project she selects. Please explain why commitment is important in this specific case. What might motivate the borrower not to select the seeminlgy efficient alternative?

Transaction Costs and Financial Structure
Transaction costs hinder flow of funds to people with productiveinvestment opportunities
Example:
Say you have 5,000 you would like to invest, and you think about investing in the stockSay you have 5,000 you would like to invest, and you think about investing in the stockmarket. Because you have only 5,000 you can buy only a small number of shares. Thestockbroker tells you that your purchase is so small that the brokerage commission forbuying the stock you picked will be large percentage of the purchase price of shares. Ifinstead you decide to buy a bond, the problem is even worse. Indeed, the broker maynot be interested in your business at all, because the small size of your account doesnot make spending time on it worthwhile. You are disappointed and realize that youwill not be able to use financial markets to earn a return on your hard-earned savings.You can take some consolation, however, in fact you are not alone in being stymied byhigh transaction costs. This is a fact of life of many of us: only around on-half ofAmerican households own any securities.

Transaction Costs and Financial Structure
Transaction costs hinder flow of funds to people with productive investment
opportunities
Financial intermediaries make profits by reducing the transaction costs:
1. Take advantage of economies of scale
Example: Mutual Funds
2. Develop expertise to lower transaction costs

What is the role of Financial Intermediaries in a
Financial System?
Mobilization of funds and converting the unproductive and illiquid savings into the
productive investments thanks to information unavailable to private and public markets
Delegated monitoring thanks to monitoring of financing firm, the financial
intermediaries are able to ensure that the distributed funds are allocated with the aim of
its destination
Corporate control through the ability of monitoring borrowers, the financial Corporate control through the ability of monitoring borrowers, the financial
intermediaries allow the economy to overcome moral hazard problems and reduce the
agency costs
Risk-sharing banks, mutual funds and other financial intermediaries all provide useful
vehicle for pooling, trading and risk-diversifying leading to the shift of investors portfolios
towards more uncertain but higher return
Intertemporal risk-smoothing as long-lived institutions, they may facilitate
intergenerational risk arising from investing in the long-run projects offering relatively low
returns in the boom times and high in the slack times.

Importance of the Financial Systems
Imagine yourself taking a business-school exam in international financial
management. The test is a case study. It concerns Opacia, an emerging
economy which is in a bit of a mess. Corporate financial statements mean
little as firms routinely lend to each other off balance sheet. You have no
idea how big the countrys foreing liabilities are, though you know that itsidea how big the countrys foreing liabilities are, though you know that its

The Financial Sector
Encompasses the totality of institutions which specialize in providing financialservices to the non-financial sector units in the economy - i.e. banks, NBFIs,organised markets; and the relevant regulating and supervising bodies - and theirrules, structure and behaviour.
The Financial System The Financial System
Encompasses the demand for, and the supply of, financial services, and thus, ofcourse also the "professional providers", i.e. the financial sector, and the interplaybetween demand and supply.
Thus the Financial System is more than the Financial Sector
In addition to the financial sector and to the demand for its services, it also includesthe extent to which the financial sector does not meet the demand of the non-financial sector units and forces them to self-finance, self-invest and self-insure.

Banks and stocks markets have independent effects on growth as they provide different financial services (Levine and Zervos, 1998) There may be a positive relationship between different measures of financial sector size, but the type of the
system does not seem to matter (Levine, 1999) It would be important to better measure financial sector quality. Looking at its internal consistency might

Financial System and Economic Growth
Recent research has found than an important reason why many
developing countries or ex-communist countries like Russia,
(which are referred to as transition countries) experience very
low rates of growth is that their financial systems are
underdeveloped (a situation referred to as financial repression).underdeveloped (a situation referred to as financial repression).
The economic analysis of financial structure helps to explain how
an underdeveloped financial system leads to a low state of
economic development and economic growth.

banks have done more harm to the mortality, tranquility, and even

-
The legal system a country relies upon has a significant
influence on economic growth
The protection of shareholders and creditors by the legal system helps explain the
patterns of corporate finance in different countries:
breadth and depth of capital markets
pace of new security issues
corporate ownership structure
dividend policy dividend policy
efficiency of investment allocation
Investor protection is crucial:
expropriation of minority shareholders and creditors in many countries is
extensive
outside investors face a risk that the returns on their investments will never
materialize because the managers or controlling shareholders may expropriate
them (insiders)

Why does a financial structure of a country
matter?
There are at least three reasons why the financial struture is important:
Efficiency in terms of our previous figure, the issue is how effectively funds flow from borrowers tolenders so that everbodys wealth is maximized.
(a) how financial system allows risk to be shared and who bears that risk
(b) incentives to produce and use information; in particular,where the resources canbe most profitably invested.
(c) how effective is corporate governance implemented?(c) how effective is corporate governance implemented?
(d) how financial sytstem evolves over time and the role of law and politics indetermining it.
Financial Stability what is the relationship between the struture of the financial system and thebanking crises, currency crises, asset-price bubbles and crashes, contagion and financial fragility.
Monetary Policy Transmission Channels two views:
(a) money view- interest rates affect consumption and investment as predicted byneoclassical theories based on perfect capital markets. Institutions do not matter!
(b) credit view with the imperfect capital markets, the effects of monetary policytransmission depends on access to finance. How finance is obtained by firms,houeseholds, and governments depends on the financial structure.
