"Combining rigour, accessibility and application, Keiding's Economics of Banking forms a solid basis for studying financial intermediation and its regulation at the graduate level. The text is much-needed at a time when this topic has become more important than ever." Alex Trew, University of St Andrews, UK "This is the book I have been looking for. Aimed at advanced economics students and covering a broad set of themes that are relevant for practice, the book is well suited as a core text for a banking course." Asbjorn Rodseth, University of Oslo, Norway
