Fall 2016
Introduction
Eco 332 (Money and Banking) focuses on the traditional model
of money and banking in the American banking system, a mixed
capitalist economy.
The course explains the functions of money and the functions
and responsibilities of banking intermediaries and the Federal
Reserve System in facilitating the needs of demanders of
money.
The course presentation of banking presumes one banking
system exists which satisfies the needs of all potential users.
In recent years, the evolution of non-traditional banking options
has changed the view that one banking system can satisfy all
users of banking services.
Additionally, as the economic world has become more
interdependent, national banking systems have evolved into
global banking systems.
Question
Changes in the traditional banking system leave us with two
broad questions—How has the traditional banking system
changed?
and
How have banks responded to increased global

2. interdependence?
In this assignment you will respond to one of the above
questions in a term (research) paper; you may select either
question. For your convenience three topics are provided
from which you may choose to write your paper
:
1.
Shadow Banking
(in either the U.S. or a country of your choice).
2.
Social Banking
(in either the U.S. or a country of your choice).
3.
Global Banking.
Topics (1) and (2) will answer the “how has traditional banking
changed” question.
The Global Banking topic is broad so you will need to narrow to
a specific issue.
Task
In 1,250 to 1,500 words (5-6
pages excluding the title and references pages) compare and
contrast the traditional banking model to either “Shadow
Banking” or “Social Banking”.
OR, describe and discuss “Global Banking” or a global banking
topic.

3. You may also compare and contrast the same system, e.g.
Shadow Banking, between two countries.
Your paper should specify a premise (thesis) which may reflect
an opinion reached after studying the topic and should
present key aspects/facts/features of the system.
Remember to also include statistics (for example, the $ size of
traditional banking transactions versus transactions in the
alternative system) which describe the system and lend support
to your position.
Overall you want the paper to demonstrate that you researched
the topic and want to reflect what you learned.
(Notify me of your topic through Canvas in the designated
folder).
Required Sources
Your paper must reference at least
eight
sources dated no older than 2008; two (2) sources
must be
academic sources; the remaining six (6) sources can be
newspaper articles, internet news sources, agency sources
(federal reserve, IMF …) and so on.
Format
Format your paper according to APA style.
Use in-text citations, title and references pages. Times New
Roman, Font size 11 or 12, double-spaced, one-inch margins.

Organization & Coherence
Uses a logical structure appropriate to paper’s subject, purpose,
audience, thesis, and disciplinary field. Sophisticated
transitional sentences often develop one idea from the previous
one or identify their logical relations. It guides the reader
through the chain of reasoning or progression of ideas.
Concludes the paper in a paragraph.
12.0
pts
Shows a logical progression of ideas and uses fairly
sophisticated transitional devices; e.g., may move from least to
more important idea. Some logical links may be faulty, but each
paragraph clearly relates to paper’s central idea. Concludes the
paper in a paragraph.
10.7
pts
May list ideas or arrange them randomly rather than using any
evident logical structure. May use transitions, but they are
likely to sequential (first, second, third) rather than logic-based.

10. While each paragraph may relate to central idea, logic is not
always clear. Paragraphs have topic sentences but may be overly
general, and arrangement of sentences within paragraphs may
lack coherence.
9.5
pts
May have random organization, lacking internal paragraph
coherence and using few or inappropriate transitions.
Paragraphs may lack topic sentences or main ideas, or may be
too general or too specific to be effective. Paragraphs may not
