It deals with the macroeconomics of open economies under various exchange-rate arrangements, and the policy problems they pose. The course will start by looking at foreign-exchange markets and at balance-of-payments and national-income accounts for an open economy. Next, it will ask how international transactions affect macroeconomic behavior and the functioning of monetary and fiscal policies, how the outcomes differ under fixed and floating exchange rates, and how they are affected by financial integration and deregulation. Thereafter, it will examine the activities of traders, investors, and speculators in spot and forward foreign-exchange markets and their effects on exchange-rate behavior. Finally, it will survey the recent history of the international monetary system and current policy problems, focusing on the changing role of the U.S. dollar in the monetary system, the implications of European monetary union, currency crises in emerging-market countries, the work of the International Monetary Fund, and proposals for reform of the monetary system.   1610 visits has been made through our site.     International Economics by University of Pennsylvania   URL: http://www.econ.upenn.edu/~uribe/econ050/econ050.html   This course is a one-semester introduction to International Economics.

We will begin by defining, measuring, and understanding phenomenon such as unemployment, inflation, output, and growth. We will then build and spend the remainder of the course using a basic macroeconomic model (aggregate demand-aggregate supply model) to understand how monetary and fiscal policy, as well as other exogenous shocks, affect our economy. We will also use this model to understand what options policy makers have available for dealing with the above phenomenon. Along with this main objective, we will also spend time discussing topics such as international trade, government deficits, tax policy, social security, history of US economy, and other issues related to macroeconomics.   1466 visits has been made through our site.     International Economics by Helsinki University of Technology   URL: http://www.tuta.hut.fi/coursedata/tu91114/brochure.htm   The coal of this course is to present an introduction to the theory of international trade, trade policy, exchange rates and balance of payments.

Econ 364 is designed for non-majors and does not have the intermediate theory classes (Econ 301 and 302) as prerequisites. However Econ 101 and 102 are required and I expect the students to be able to use the main concepts that were taught in these introductory courses (specially in 101). If you have taken 101 more than 2 semesters ago read carefully the attached handout. Economics Majors and others seeking a more in depth treatment should take Economics 464 instead. The first and major part of the course (about 18 lectures) explores the theoretical foundations of International Trade, focusing on why nations trade and what do they trade, in what sense international trade is beneficial to trading countries , the effect of different trade policy instruments and international trade agreements. Current policy issues will be examined to demonstrate the usefulness as well as the limitations of the theory. The second part of the course (about 8 lectures) will be devoted to topics in International Finance: balance of payments, foreign exchange market, purchasing power parity and, topics in International Monetary Economics.   1374 visits has been made through our site.     International Economics by Old Dominion University   URL: http://courses.lib.odu.edu/business/tbezmen/econ650/syllabus......   Understanding the international economy is key to successful decision making in a broad range of business and financial arenas. This course is a survey of international trade theory, commercial trade policy, international finance, and open-economy macroeconomics. It is intended to provide students with foundations that can be used to discuss and analyze the global economic environment within which business operate. We will examine the international flow of goods, services, assets, and payments between a nation and the rest of the world, the policies directed at regulating this flow, and their effects on a nation's welfare. Special attention will be given to the evaluation of government policies and current, real-world trends affecting the international economy.   1217 visits has been made through our site.     Advanced International Economics by Kansas State University   URL: http://www.ksu.edu/economics/nafwayne/syl00web.htm   The major objective of the course is to help students acquire an analytical framework to examine contemporary international economic issues, such as the Asian (and Russian) financial crisis, international adjustment and reform in developing and transitional economies, U.S.-Japanese bilateral economic relationships, trade and income distribution, regional economic integration, the international monetary system, the U.S. balance of payments problem, and globalization.

We live in an era of rapid political and economic change; the eventual outcome of this roller coaster ride is far from clear. Changes such as the relative decline of the United States, the creation of the North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA), the rise of China and Japan, the inauguration of the World Trade Organization (WTO), the collapse of the Soviet Union, the transitions from communism and autocracy to capitalism and democracy, the emergence of the Newly Industrializing Countries (NICs) will have a profound impact on your life. It will influence the price of the next car you buy, the range of jobs available to you after graduation, your ability to invest in stocks, and your ability to reap profits from your next invention. Although the course is titled "Economic and Foreign Policy," I will refer to it as an International Political Economy (IPE) course. IPE is about the struggle for power and wealth within the international system. It focuses on two essential questions: (1) how do states, which desire to maximize their wealth, link themselves to the international system? and (2) how do states use this new wealth to order the international system in a way which maximizes their ability to generate new wealth? As we shall see, the struggle for power and wealth does not imply a situation of pure conflict between states in the system. In many cases, states share similar interests. In these cases, the challenge involves organizing collectively in an anarchical system. In sum, the course is about conflict and cooperation between states in the international system. As the outline of weekly subjects and readings in the syllabus indicates, we will discuss conflict and cooperation in a wide variety of issue areas, including among others, international trade, exchange rates, balance of payments, oil cartels, multinational corporations, economic integration, strategic trade and trade wars, and economic sanctions. The course has three goals. First, the course will introduce you to a wide range of abstract theories of international political economy. Second, the course will give you a general overview of the history of the international system. The historical examination will allow us to evaluate the utility of alternative theories. Third, the course will expose students to a variety of problems confronting specific countries and the global community at the present time.   1145 visits has been made through our site.     INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL ECONOMICS by SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY   URL: http://mail.beaconhill.org/~j_haughton/e745f00_syl.html   This course analyses investment in international assets, and the risk involved in international investment.

In addition, we will relate these theories to current world events whenever possible. One of the central issues we will study is why it is that most economists are in favor of free trade despite the fact that many politicians, unions, workers, and business people seem to think that trade is largely responsible for many of the economic problems in the U.S. Classes will be conducted in a lecture format.

Virtually all nations are linked to one another by trade flows and financial networks that circle the globe. The purpose of this course is to survey the basics of international trade and finance and to examine the effects of various international economic policies on domestic and world welfare. International economics is divided into two branches: (1) the study of international trade in goods and services and (2) the study of monetary consequences of international payment between countries. After developing analytical tools at the beginning of the semester, we will survey the topics such as the pure theory of international trade, the theory of commercial policy, the balance of payments, the determination of foreign exchange rates, adjustment in the balance of payments, and the international monetary system.   1045 visits has been made through our site.     International Economics by University of Massachusetts-Amherst, MA   URL: http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~cliard/SYLLAB121.htm   International economics is an important part of economics.

International economics, then, is the study of daily life when it directly or indirectly crosses a national border. A good deal of our individual and national daily lives today involve this sort of activity and it seems the trend towards the growing importance of international economics is likely to continue. In fact, all economics today is international economics. That is, in today's world it is impossible to understand any economic event, policy, or theory without taking into account the international causes, direct effects, and indirect consequences. It is impossible to understand the domestic economy without understanding its interactions with the international economy. Nations interact in many ways, not all of which are obviously "economic" in nature, but that have some economic aspect or consequence. In this class we will try to understand the most important theories, policies, and events of international economics, but we will also try to keep in mind their real-world context.   913 visits has been made through our site.     International Economics by University of Exeter   URL: http://www.ex.ac.uk/sobe/Courses/BEE3008/BEE3008.html   International economics embraces a wide range of issues.

International Economics is the study of the interplay of the economics and politics in the world arena. In the aftermath of the cold war, transformations have made economics and politics more relevant to one another than in the past and have forced the recognition that our theoretical understanding of their interactions has always been oversimplified and arbitrarily limited by disciplinary boundaries. This course is a practical inquiry into the reality of the contemporary international political economy and how the interaction of state and market is transforming global relations. It also integrates the principal ways in which scholars have conceived of international economics in such specific areas as trade, monetary affairs and foreign investment. Thus, the study of contemporary developments and of theoretical questions are pursued together to draw out implications for the emerging new world economic and political order, globalization.   804 visits has been made through our site.     INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT by UNIVERSITY OF REDLANDS   URL: http://www.redlands.edu/whitehead/faculty/groshek/Syllabi/we......   This course develops the theoretical and practical concepts of international economic relations to provide a framework for understanding the process of globalization in the world economy.
