International Macroeconomics

This course will study international finance and macroeconomics. The objective is to acquire an understanding of how international financial markets work and how international economic integration affects policy making. We will study exchange rates, international financial flows, monetary and fiscal policies, the consequences of globalization, currency regimes and international financial crises. We will use many examples from the rich history of international finance and financial crises and current events to illustrate how the global economy and national macroeconomic policy interact.
