Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
Evaluation will be based on classroom participation (10%), a midterm exam (40%), an oral presentation in class and a term paper (50%) .
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
One goal of the course is to make students familiar with the basic models and empirical methods used in the field of international trade. In particular, we will discuss the use of instrumental variables and panel data econometrics. In addition, students should learn about the main challenges developing countries face in a globalized world and to apply the economic tools they have acquired in the course to study questions related to issues of trade and development.
Examination topics
The first two parts of the course have a lecture structure, while in the last part students will give presentions on specific topics. Good knowledge of microeconomics and econometrics is a prerequisite, since both theoretical as well as empirical work will be discussed.
