[Lecture Overview]

1.      Wholesale Capital Market Intermediation in Fixed Income: 2008 Crisis 

The bankruptcy of Lehman's ​market-making businesses unleashed almost perfectly negatively correlated risks back to the hands of market players. Bundled together, aggregate market risks were very small. In separate and decentralized hands, the pressure on the market capacity to digest these risks at any one time could be humongous resulting in huge transitory price movements. 

2.      Financial Crisis and Contagion: Leverage, Leverage, and Leverage 

Understanding leverage is a key to ​understand financial crises and contagion.
