Teaching

The Institute for Finance & Banking mainly deals with the fundamental question: Why do banks play such an important role in a national economy? To be able to answer this question adequately empirical observations regarding relevance and status of banks and the effects of banking measures are being discussed. These observations are compared with theoretical explanations for the existence as well as for the regulation of banks. This focus is reflected in our teaching. A methodologically oriented discussion of current issues of the operational banking business (accounting, controlling and risk management) rounds off our teaching concept. Methodologically, the basics of the game theory and quantitative methods of the modern capital market and finance theory are taught and applied.
