【报告题目】 The 2007-2009 Financial Crisis and the Federal Reserve's Responses
【报告摘要】This presentation offers an in-depth analysis of the 2007-2009 financial crisis and the significant role the Federal Reserve played in tackling the crisis. It explains in details how the problems in the U.S. subprime mortgage market spiraled into a global financial crisis and economic recession, how the shadow banking sector played a central role in escalating and spreading the crisis, and how the interconnectedness among modern financial institutions acted as a catalyst for the meltdown. Most importantly, this presentation provides a full review of the Federal Reserve’s innovative and unconventional toolkit created during the crisis, as well as the underlying logic and the effectiveness of these programs.
