This session will focus on the origins of the credit crisis, in the market for securitized debt products such as collateralized debt obligations. Although securitization is in principle a natural and efficient way to intermediate credit risk, it went badly wrong. We will have a look at how these debt products are designed. Time will be left for questions about the credit crisis from participating alumni.
