Course content, structure and pedagogical approach | ||||||||||||||||||||||
This course offers a detailed introduction to international economics. We study several trade theories with the goal of explaining 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 (prices and quantities), social welfare (gross national product) and the distribution of welfare (inequality). |

Description of the teaching methods | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Lectures and exercise classes on campus. Online exercises. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Feedback during the teaching period | ||||||||||||||||||||||
This course comprises the following feedback
activities. First, partial written solutions to exercises and
quizzes with the goal of helping you figure out the solutions by
yourself. Two, during exercise classes the teaching assistant will
go through the solutions of some exercises in detail, focusing on
the problems raised by students. Third, you can ask questions to
the unit director via an online forum or by booking a slot during
the online office hours to discuss/clarify any aspect of the
syllabus on which you have problems.
