Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
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.
Assessment and permitted materials
Students are evaluated on the basis of two homeworks (33% each) and a short essay (33%).
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Students should prove a good command (at least 50%) of the course’s topics; 50% - 59% implies a 4; 60% - 69%, a 3; 70% - 84%, a 2; 85% - 100%, a 1. Failure to hand in any of the homeworks (by the corresponding deadlines) will result in a negative evaluation of the course.
Examination topics
International trade, foreign direct investment and multinationals, international capital flows, financial crises, foreign aid, migration
Reading list
The course's material is strongly (but not exclusively) based on Krugman, Obstfeld & Melitz: International Economics.
