Microfinance is the biggest gap between China's financial circles and international academic circles, which needs to be improved urgently.

Macrofinance

International academic circles usually refer to the study of macro-issues related to micro-finance as macro-finance. Personally, I think macro finance can be divided into two categories: one is the natural extension of micro finance, including international securities investment and corporate financing, financial markets and financial intermediaries based on international asset pricing theory, and so on. This kind of research is usually located in the finance and economics department of business school. The second category is "finance" previously understood by domestic academic circles, including "monetary banking" and "international finance", covering the study of money, banking, balance of payments, financial system stability and financial crisis. This kind of major is usually located in the Department of Economics.
