V. Teaching Notes x
a. Why Study Financial Markets and Institutions?
x x x x x
For an economy to achieve its potential growth rate, mechanisms must exist to
x x x x x x x x x x x x
xeffectively allocate capital (a scarce resource) to the best possible uses while accounting
x x x x x x x x x x x x
xfor the riskiness of the opportunities available. Markets and institutions have been created
x x x x x x x x x x x x
xto facilitate transfers of funds from economic agents with surplus funds to economic
x x x x x x x x x x x x
xagents in need of funds. For an economy to maximize its growth potential it must create
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
xmethods that attract savers‘ excess funds and then put those funds to the best uses
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
xpossible, otherwise idle cash is not used as productively as possible. The funds transfer
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
xshould occur at as low a cost as possible to ensure maximum economic growth. Two
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
xcompeting alternative methods exist: direct and indirect financing. In direct financing the
x x x x x x x x x x x
xultimate funds supplier purchases a claim from the funds demander with or without the
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
xhelp of an intermediary such as an underwriter. In this case, society relies on primary
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
xmarkets to initially price the issue and then secondary markets to update the prices and
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
xprovide liquidity. Trustees are appointed to monitor contractual obligations of issuers
x x x x x x x x x x
xand instigate enforcement actions for breach of contract terms. In indirect financing, the
x x x x x x x x x x x x
xfunds demander obtains financing from a financial intermediary. The intermediary and
x x x x x x x x x x
xthe borrower negotiate the terms and cost. The intermediary obtains funds by offering
x x x x x x x x x x x x
xdifferent claims to fund suppliers. In this case the intermediary is usually responsible for
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
xmonitoring the contractual conditions of the financing agreement and perhaps updating
x x x x x x x x x x
xthe cost if appropriate.
