| Course content and structure |
|
This course offers a detailed introduction to international
economics, including international trade and international finance
topics. In the international trade part of the course, we study
several trade theories, which explain why international trade takes
place, what are the benefits of international trade, and in what
patterns countries trade with each other. We also study trade
policy tools and their implications for market equilibrium and
social welfare, both theoretically and by analysing real-world case
studies. In the international finance part of the course, we study
the balance of payments, discuss intertemporal trade and what
underlies trade deficits.
