SUMMARY:Financial Intermediation
DESCRIPTION:Course type\nIWH-DPE Elective Course (Banking & Finance Topic Track); Special Course \nLecturer\nProfessor Michael Koetter\, PhD (IWH & OvGU) \nSummary\nHow do financial funds find their way from savers to investors? This intermediation function is critical to the accumulation and allocation of capital in the real economy. We study in this course\, (i) how financial institutions operate to conduct their intermediation function\, (ii) which idiosyncratic\, systematic\, and systemic risks that are particular to banking can arise\, (iii) whether and how markets and central planners set guardrails\, and (iv) which real effects result from (in)efficient intermediation. \nThis course pursues three major learning objectives. First\, it acquaints students with little knowledge of banking and finance with the basic principles of financial intermediation. Besides studying academic literature\, this objective is achieved by students managing\, either individually or in teams\, virtual banks that compete with another using the ProBanker simulation suite. Second\, students understand how the very nature of financial intermediation gives rise to externalities that call for extensive regulation. Third\, students learn about selected contemporary topics at the frontier of academic research in the broadly defined field of financial intermediation. \nSchedule\n11.06.2026          14:00-15:30 and 16:00-17:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room \nProBanker online simulation rounds of competitive markets at 12:30 sharp on June 15\, 17\, 19\, 22\, 24 \n25.06.2026          14:00-15:30 and 16:00-17:30      IWH\, Leipziger Str. 100\, 3rd floor\, Conference Room \nContent\n\nFinancial intermediation and the European Banking Union\nBanking in practice: Simulations in autarky and in competitive markets\nPolicy and politics in banking\nReal effects of financial intermediation\n\nCourse requirements\nAttendance at all lectures and all ProBanker online simulation rounds is mandatory (25% of grade). \nFinancial performance rank at the end of ProBanker simulations (15% of the grade). \nA recorded presentation to explain management decisions taken and results (60% of the grade). \nSuggested Reading\nFinancial intermediation and the European Banking Union \nFreixas\, X.\, J.-C.
