My Contribution in Interdisciplinary Teaching

This document discusses the author's expertise in teaching interdisciplinary subjects that combine their core areas of finance, economics, and law with related fields. The author lists 7 interdisciplinary subjects they are qualified to teach based on publications and over a decade of experience, including corporate law combined with corporate finance, management information systems with computer practices, investment law with financial investments, and environmental law with environmental economics.

My contribution in interdisciplinary teaching

In addition to my core competence areas, which I have already delivered at NLUJ, e.g.
1. Financial Management (BBA III semester and MBA(Insurance) II Semester),
2. Managerial Economics (BBA II Semester and MBA(Insurance) I Semester),
3. Principles and Practice of Banking (BBA IV Semester),
4. Derivatives (MBA(Insurance) III Semester),
5. Management of Financial Services (MBA(Insurance) IV Semester)
6. Project Finance (MBA-MBL/LLM V Semester) etc
there are other different interdisciplinary subjects, where I have the expertise in terms of
international publications and teaching experiences of one and half decades at the
Institutions like NLUJ, National Institute of Bank Management Pune (RBI’s training
establishment), WB National University of Juridical Sciences Kolkata, Indian Institute of
Social Welfare and Business Management Kolkata (IISW&BM) and Goenka College of
commerce and Business Administration Kolkata to contribute in a fruitful manner:

1. Corporate Law (LLM (Corporate Law) I Semester): Study of this course calls for
prior knowledge of different functional areas of the corporate houses. Since a
corporate house is a profit making body, Corporate Finance for the purposes like
capital budgeting becomes the central pillar in successful governance of the
corporate house. There will be a difference in understanding between a student
who read Corporate Law as stand-alone from Corporate Finance and another who
read it along with Corporate Finance.

2. Management Information System (MBA (Insurance) III Semester): The


application of MIS consists of, inter alia, use of different softwares in investment
portfolio management, asset liability management, regulatory compliances and
financial modeling like cash flow projection etc. To teach MIS without computer-
practices is similar to teach cycling/swimming without cycle/water. Knowledge of
these is of immense use in Corporate Houses and Financial Institutions and
expected from management students.

3. Investment Law (LLM II Semester): Study of this subject presupposes knowledge


of (i) the process investments in on-balancesheet items like fixed capital, plant
and machinery and financial investment, and off-balancesheet items like
derivative contracts; any of these may involve transactions in multiple currency;
(ii) prudential norms of above investments, and (iii) valuation and risk analytics
as per regulatory guidelines. Quality of work in a law firm dealing with cases
relating to investments becomes better with above knowledge.

4. Law of Infrastructure Development (LLM II Semester): This subject revolves


around infrastructure projects for which project finance is the sine qua non. For a
legal professional dealing with infrastructure development without the knowledge
of strategic and regulatory aspects of project finance it is difficult to understand
the project blueprint as well as the way the promoters manage the project.

5. Environmental Law (LLB VII Semester): A review of the treatment of this subject
in major Universities in USA reveals that it can best be taught jointly with
Environmental Economics because every environmental regulation is deemed to
possess twin aspects of administrative and social costs and social benefits in a
market based economy but in the emerging economies like India the externality
aspects of environmental risk assessment in infrastructure project finance and
technological innovation and diffusion are also going to be counted. When market
fails to allocate resources efficiently to lead to the greatest social welfare it is
imperative to compare alternative environmental regulations in terms of costs and
benefits. In short Environmental Law and Environmental Economics are
inseparable.

6. Jurisprudence (LLB VIII Semester): This subject contains several elements of


economic theories (e.g. Theory of Utility) because economic reasoning is
supposed to (a) explain the trade-off between justification and consistency of
legal practice, (b) provide a framework of modeling legal outcomes, and
homogenous objectives for unifying heterogeneous areas of legal activity, (c)
examine how people’s behavior in a legal frame are influenced by rationality; (d)
examine how legislation is effected by collective behavior; (e) help designing
strategic action in a legal context. In a word, without inputs from Economics
discipline Jurisprudence subject can not be delivered in a wholesome manner.

7. Quantitative Techniques and Business Statistics (BBA I Semester and


MBA(Insurance) II Semester): The application of statistics in business consists of,
inter alia, use of the tools like regression, standard deviation, hypothesis testing
etc in forecasting demand, forecasting security prices, computing risk in financial
securities etc. Without prior estimation of demand it is risky to invest in new
projects and without an estimation of risk profile it is not prudent to park funds in
financial securities and derivatives.
