Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The 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. Theory, history, empirical evidence, related political considerations, 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. The course is taught at an introductory level.

The course is taught on site.
