Outline

Module/course Summary

Derivatives markets have impressively developed over the past 30 years. The over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives contracts now reach a notional amount of 600 trillion dollars (10 times the world GDP!). A few years after the worst crisis since 1929, derivatives are the subject of a fierce debate among academics and regulators about their utility for society and their possible contribution to financial instability.
