This course aims to illustrate the structure and functioning of banks. Based on approaches to explain the existence of financial intermediaries, we discuss the role of those within incomplete capital markets. The lecture course deals further with the risk and profit management of banks. This includes the design, measurement, and application of Value-at-Risk methods. Great attention is also given to theoretical models treating bank stability and profit oriented bank management.
