Abstract
In our lectures we tried to shed light on the basic role of both monetary policy and financial regulation as drivers of the financial instability which characterized the years 2008-2009. We illustrated how a relatively limited default event – the subprime loan crisis in the United States – has domino effects on the overall world financial industry. In these notes we summarize our interpretation, presenting a very simple and teachable framework to address the macro relationship between default events, micro and macro drivers, regulatory amplification mechanisms and financial instability.
