Contenu
The course provides an introduction to International Economics. This field of Economics analyses how nations interact through trade of goods and services, flows of money, and investment and what are the consequences of these interactions. This field is as old as the discipline of Economics itself (see e.g. David Hume (1758), Of the Balance of Trade) but it is increasingly important as over the last decades, international trade and financial integration have been growing between nations.
The course consists of the two main parts:
The course consists of the two main parts:
- The first part covers international trade theory and policy. It analyses questions like 1) what explains the patterns and volume of trade between countries, 2) why and how countries (potentially) gain from trade and why gains from trade are usually not equally shared between and within countries, 3) the labour market implications of international trade, 4) the instruments of trade policy.
- The second part is about open-economy macroeconomics. It studies how international trade and capital mobility impact macroeconomic outcomes and the effectiveness of national macroeconomic policies. Covered topics are a.o. 1) the determination of the current account, 2) the limitations on foreign borrowing and lending, 3) the determination of the nominal and real exchange rates, 4) the consequences of financial globalization.
