Capital Markets and Business Economics

Description

The term capital market refers to the spaces, both physical and digital, where various entities trade financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities. Major financial centers like New York, London, Singapore, and Hong Kong host these markets where funds are exchanged between suppliers (banks and investors) and seekers (businesses, governments, individuals). Capital markets facilitate the sale of equities and debt securities through primary and secondary markets, including well-known venues like the stock and bond markets. Business economics applies economic principles to analyze financial, organizational, market-related, and environmental issues encountered by corporations. It covers topics such as scarcity, production factors, distribution, consumption, and managerial economics. Business economics examines how external economic factors influence business decisions, such as regulatory changes or shifts in raw material prices. This comprehensive book is valuable for researchers, policymakers, civil society organizations, and students studying economy, politics, and society.
