1 SCOPE OF THE COURSE: UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND LONDON PROGRAMME ECON398L: The UK Economy and Financial System Lecturer: Michael Ashcroft Office hours: by appointment This course provides: a conceptual framework for assessing the policy, structure and performance of the UK economy since an introduction to the role and operations of the financial institutions and markets of the City of London placed in the context of the world financial crisis 2007 to date. an examination of the international dimension of the UK economy, with particular reference to Britain s membership of the Bretton Woods System, European Union and to the special relationship between Britain and the USA. A common thread in this discourse will be the selective use of relevant economic theory to illumine events and policies of the period. Particular emphasis will be placed on the continuities and discontinuities in UK economic policy in the post-war period. Necessarily, coverage cannot be comprehensive nor can analysis of any particular topic be exhaustive. LEARNING OUTCOMES: Students should: 1) Be able to make economic comparisons over time and space using the relevant conceptual tools to organise perceptions and data. 2) have an awareness of the importance of economic theory in analysing problems, of its limitations as a guide to policy and of the need to relate it to some political and historical context. 3) have an appreciation of the distinctive nature of some important British financial institutions and of the difficulties of replicating elsewhere, institutions which have been shaped by the peculiarities of British economic, political and cultural evolution. 4) have some experience of the need for constant and rigorous editing of the written word.

This Code sets standards for academic integrity at Maryland for all undergraduate and graduate students. As a student you are responsible 5
6 for upholding these standards for this course. It is very important for you to be aware of the consequences of cheating, fabrication, facilitation, and plagiarism. For more information on the Code of Academic Integrity or the Student Honor Council, please visit The University of Maryland is one of a small number of universities with a student-administered Honors Code and an Honors Pledge, available on the web at The code prohibits students from cheating on exams, plagiarizing papers, submitting the same paper for credit in two courses without authorization, buying papers, submitting fraudulent documents, and forging signatures. The University Senate encourages instructors to ask students to write the following signed statement on each examination or assignment: "I pledge on my honor that I have not given or received any unauthorized assistance on this examination (or assignment). ACADEMIC ACCOMODATIONS: If you have a documented disability, you should contact Disability Support Services 0126 Shoemaker Hall. Each semester students with documented disabilities should apply to DSS for accommodation request forms which you can provide to your professors as proof of your eligibility for accommodations. The rules for eligibility and the types of accommodations a student may request can be reviewed on the DSS web site at RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCES: The University System of Maryland policy provides that students should not be penalized because of observances of their religious beliefs, students shall be given an opportunity, whenever feasible, to make up within a reasonable time any academic assignment that is missed due to individual participation in religious observances. It is the responsibility of the student to inform the instructor of any intended absences for religious observances in advance. Notice should be provided as soon as possible but no later than the end of the schedule adjustment period. Faculty should further remind students that prior notification is especially important in connection with final exams, since failure to reschedule a final exam before the conclusion of the final examination period may result in loss of credits during the semester. The problem is especially likely to arise when final exams are scheduled on Saturdays. 6
