In Module 2, students learn about the economics of bricks and clicks, the logistics of the digital economy, marketing and performance indicators, and accounting. The final module discusses the economics of consumer lending, finance and the process of creating a mortgage-backed security, and risk management and market risk versus credit risk with MBS.
