II．Course Description

This course is aimed to enable foreign and overseas exchange students to grasp the basic knowledge introduction to Chinese finance, and to apply core advanced economic theories and quantitative methods to the issues of Chinese finance, through lecture learning, literature reading and case thinking. We believe that foreign and overseas exchange students can understand the Chinese financial issues related closely to RMB exchange rate, evolution of China’s banking and finance industry, China’s exchange rate determination, Chinese money market and capital market, Chinese international balance of payments, the choice of RMB exchange rate regime, Chinese foreign exchange reserves, and foreign exchange control and RMB internationalization, by learning systematically the following seven topics or fourteen lectures.

Further, they can use the basic theories of RMB exchange rate and exchange rate regime to analyze and understand the causes and development path of exchange rate regime choice in China. Moreover, the theoretical study of this course will enhance foreign exchange students’ understanding for the evolution and choice of Chinese international balance of payments and foreign exchange reserves. The teaching contents of this course include seven topics, and will be divided into fourteen lectures. 

III．Course Objectives

Through learning and literature reading, plus the teaching of financial theories and cases, this course makes foreign and overseas exchange students understand the basic knowledge introduction, and grasp the frontier theories and cases in the field of Chinese finance, and then enables them to analyze the detailed issues related to major developments of Chinese finance, and to explore the developing prospects in Chinese finance.

After finishing this course, we believe that the learning outcomes are such that foreign and overseas exchange students will be able to:

3.1 Knowledge and understanding

Academic Homepage: http://fdjpkc.fudan.edu.cn/201914/main.htm, and go to 教学课件Downloads (Lecture Notes)

5.2 Lectures and tutorials

Lecture timetables of foreign and overseas exchange students are available online at

http://www.urp.fudan.edu.cn:78/epstar/app/fudan/frameSub.jsp?affairNO=035031

One 135-minute lecture weekly throughout Spring semester. Lectures will provide the basic contents in each topic and will form the foundation for further analysis. A teaching assistant will help every student with solving his/her questions.

VI．Teaching assessment

There is one compulsory closed exam related to Study on Chinese Finance Development at the end of the semester, which constitutes 70% of assessment. Another 30% is composed of the participation of foreign and overseas exchange students and actively article reviews.

Your grade will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

Participation                              15%

Article Reviews                         15%

Closed Exam                                70%

Total                                               100%

Students will be graded as follows:

A= Achievement excellent relative to the level necessary to meet course requirements.

B= Achievement significantly above the level necessary to meet course requirements.

C= Achievements meeting the basic course requirements.

D= Does not fully meet basic course requirements, but worthy of credit.

F= Performance failing to meet course requirements.

1.    Participation: Each student is expected to attend lectures, complete some readings each week, and significantly contribute to the seminar discussions. Participation in class discussions is an essential part.

2.    Article Reviews: you will submit one short article review related to your reading papers. This article review should produce a critical discussion of the literature, not just summarize the readings. You should address the main points in the readings but also present an argument focusing on particular issues (theoretical weaknesses, empirical problems, things that have been ignored, ways in which the argument could be improved, etc). In doing so, you need conduct some academic research by consulting those articles listed in each topic of the syllabus or other newest literature. The article review should be 7 double-spaced pages. It should be sent to professor and the teaching assistant (c/o the rest of the class) by e-mail before class. Prepare a 10-minute PPT presentation in the class.

◆ The article review should have references to at least 12 journal articles.

◆ The article review of seven A4 pages is due by May 13, 2020.

◆ Final closed exam is due by June 10, 2020. Exam time: 13:30-15:30. Classroom: Forthcoming.

Furthermore, foreign and overseas exchange students are reminded that plagiarism is a very serious academic offence and that they should refer back to their Student Handbook for confirmation of what it is and the penalties for committing it. Foreign and overseas exchange students are further reminded that they have signed a declaration acknowledging that they understand the nature of the offence and the attendant penalties.
