This textbook takes a new and unique approach by re-focusing the education of students toward the function, pricing and institutional structure of the financial markets. While neglecting macroeconomic apparatus, it develops more fully the pricing of various financial instruments and the differences between instruments and institutions that operate in the financial markets. This text would be ideal for a one-semester course on financial markets taught within a finance department or business school. The text can also be used in an economics department for the course in money and banking where an instructor wishes to emphasize a micro finance perspective. By design, the course does not require nor overlap with macroeconomic topics taught elsewhere in the curriculum.

This review is from: Financial Markets, Instruments, and Institutions (Hardcover)
This is one the best introductory textbooks on the subject of financial markets and institutions. It is comprehensive and full of examples and exercises. The authors do an excellent job of presenting complex concepts in a relatively simple and straightforward style. Highly recommended.

Precise, Clear and Helpful,
By Jack Sheu (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Financial Markets, Instruments, and Institutions (Hardcover)
The authors not only demonstrate their understanding of financial markets by way of the breadth and precision of the topics discussed, but they also present the material in a way that is understandable to even those uninitiated in finance. If you are looking to learn the basic concepts underlying the various markets (equity, bond, mortgage, etc.), and you are interested by the wide range of pricing tools available today, this book is up your alley.
