a. Why Study Financial Markets And Institutions?
For An Economy To Achieve Its Potential Growth Rate, Mechanisms Must Exist
To Effectively Allocate Capital (A Scarce Resource) To The Best Possible Uses While
Accounting For The Riskiness Of The Opportunities Available. Markets And Institutions
Have Been Created To Facilitate Transfers Of Funds From Economic Agents With
Surplus Funds To Economic Agents In Need Of Funds. For An Economy To Maximize
Its Growth Potential It Must Create Methods That Attract Savers‘ Excess Funds And
Then Put Those Funds To The Best Uses Possible, Otherwise Idle Cash Is Not Used As
Productively As Possible. The Funds Transfer Should Occur At As Low A Cost As
Possible To Ensure Maximum Economic Growth. Two Competing Alternative Methods
Exist: Direct And Indirect Financing. In Direct Financing The Ultimate Funds Supplier
Purchases A Claim From The Funds Demander With Or Without The Help Of An
Intermediary Such As An Underwriter. In This Case, Society Relies On Primary
Markets To Initially Price The Issue And Then Secondary Markets To Update The
Prices And Provide Liquidity. Trustees Are Appointed To Monitor Contractual
Obligations Of Issuers And Instigate Enforcement Actions For Breach Of Contract
Terms. In Indirect Financing, The Funds Demander Obtains Financing From A Financial
Intermediary. The Intermediary And The Borrower Negotiate The Terms And Cost. The
Intermediary Obtains Funds By Offering Different Claims To Fund Suppliers. In This
Case The Intermediary Is Usually Responsible For Monitoring The Contractual
Conditions Of The Financing Agreement And Perhaps Updating The Cost If
Appropriate.
