The course will be taught at an introductory level. Theory, history, empirical evidence, and policy implications will be discussed.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Students will develop analytical skills to analyse and think independently about factual information regarding the economic effects of trade, capital flows, etc. as well as about the design of policies.
Examination topics
