From the Publisher

Using an international focus, this book integrates the financial markets with the activities of financial intermediaries. This is the first book to integrate the coverage of financial markets and institutions worldwide. It takes the approach that one cannot understand financial markets without understanding the financial institutions that shape them. The goal of this book is to show how financial intermediaries interact to influence, and evolve global financial markets. Contains clear explanations with recent applications of quantitative models. The approach emphasizes "how things are done on the Street." A major innovation is the inclusion of material on central banks that describes and compares the U.S. Federal Reserve, the Bundesbank, the Bank of Japan, and the Bank of England, as well as the IMF, the BIS, and the World Bank. The origins, major participants, pricing and settlements, and typical transactions for all financial markets are also included.

5.0 out of 5 stars Challenging Material, September 8, 2003

This review is from: Capital Markets and Institutions: A Global View (Hardcover)

Insofar from what I have read the book, I find it very challenging. It is not an easy book to read and master. One has to be willing to read again and again the assigned chapters to understand(especially chapter 1).But the material is very interesting. Thank you Ms. Allen!
