Empirical Monetary Policy and Finance

Code: FIN-3031/ ECO-3304-1

Faculty: Varun Khandelwal

We will examine the role of monetary policy during major macroeconomic events of the last century: the Great Depression, the stagflation of the 1970s and early 1980s, the East Asian crisis, the Dot-Com bust, the Global Financial Crisis, and, most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic. We will correlate the impact of monetary policy with trends in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and asset prices. Finally, we will apply the lessons learned from these historical events to understanding current macroeconomic conditions.
