In The Politics & Legal Foundations of Finance, an eight-hour course, Dr. Charles Calomiris examines the complex relationship between institutions, finance, and economic development, emphasizing how political and institutional factors shape financial systems and economic growth. With Dr. Calomiris, we explore equity market liberalization, corporate governance reforms, and the institutional foundations of debt markets in emerging economies, highlighting the role of strong institutions in fostering investment, productivity, and stability. The course concludes by discussing sovereign debt risk, capital flow management, and the potential for long-term institutional improvements in emerging markets, despite initial challenges.
