1 SLOAN SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT Preliminary syllabus 15.S08 CONSUMER FINANCE AND FINANCIAL PRODUCTS SPRING 2016 (H1) M, W 10:00-11:30, E51-??? Professor Jonathan Parker Office: E JAParker@MIT.edu Phone: Teaching assistant: Jing (Helen) Li HelenLi@mit.edu Administrative assistant: Safia Albaiti Office: E SAlbaiti@mit.edu Phone: Consumer finance studies the financial decisions of households, which in the U.S. hold $76 trillion in assets and $13 trillion in liabilities (in 2012). In contrast, corporate finance studies the financial decisions of corporations, which hold less than half this amount of debt and less than two-thirds this amount of assets. Household financial products were at the center of the recent financial crisis, consumer financial innovation is booming globally, most investment banks have now merged with household-serving traditional banks, and the institutions and regulation of personal finance are rapidly evolving as the Consumer Protection Financial Bureau rethinks regulation of consumer financial markets and various regulators reform origination and trading mechanisms for assets backed by mortgages, student loans, and credit cards. This course provides an introduction to consumer finance organized around four main themes. First, the course covers how people make financial decisions, including both rational and behavioral models, and both experimental and observed real-world behavior. Second, given this behavior, how have existing financial products been designed to serve the needs of consumers? The course discusses past examples of product innovation as well as possible future opportunities. Third, we consider the implications for designing and pricing financial products derived from claims on household payments, such as debt backed by mortgages, credit cards, or student loans. Finally, the course touches on the rapidly-evolving institutions and the regulatory structure affecting the financial industry serving households. Given that this is a half-course, the course will be a quick tour. 4B5BC Requirements and Grading Course requirements include regular attendance and participation in class which requires having read the assigned articles prior to coming to class and discussing them (30%), group-based (30%) and individual (40%) written projects and case analyses. Cases are listed in the course readings. 15.??? Page 1 of 5
