Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course studies how the international economic environment affects the development of countries, and discusses the policies that can be adopted in the face of these forces as well as their effects. The course will be taught at an introductory level. Theory, history, empirical evidence, and policy implications will be discussed. Students will develop skills to analyse and think independently about factual information regarding the economic effects of the international environment as well as about the design of policies.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Students will be evaluated on the basis of two homeworks (33% each) and an essay (33%).

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
