Course syllabus

1. In many courses we assume that securities can be issued/acquired without any real effort or expense.
2. The reality is that trading securities has more costs than just merely brokerage commissions.
3. Security trading is complex enough to justify devoting an entire course to it and we will still cover only a portion of the relevant issues. This field of study is known as "market microstructure."
4. This course will analyze different organizational and regulatory aspects of the security trading industry. Microstructure has grown rapidly into one of the largest sub disciplines of finance.
