Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This course studies how the international environment (goods trade, capital flows, foreign aid, migration, etc.) affects the economic performance of developing countries, and discusses the policies these countries adopt 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.
Assessment and permitted materials
Students will be evaluated on the basis of an exam, two homeworks and essay.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Students will develop analytical skills to think independently about the economic effects of trade, capital flows, etc. as well as about the design of policies.
Examination topics
Different theories will be discussed, as well as the related empirical evidence and policy debates.
Reading list
The course will be based on a number of sources. The main (but by all means not only) reading will be Krugman, Obstfeld & Melitz: International Economics, 9th Edition, Pearson.
