In this course, we focus on the determination of exchange rate under many different situations (e.g., flexible versus sticky prices) or regimes (e.g., floating versus fixed exchange rate system) and its relations with Macroeconomics. As in any advanced course in Economics, you are assumed to be familiar with Economics concepts covered in Basic Microeconomics and Basic Macroeconomics. Your knowledge from Intermediate Macroeconomics (ECO 2021), International Trade (ECO 4410) and International Economic Relations (ECO 3530) would be helpful but is not necessary.   1718 visits has been made through our site.     International Financial Markets by Standford GSB   URL: http://faculty-gsb.stanford.edu/lyons/f333/documents/Session......   The broad coverage makes it relevant to a wide range of professional interests (e.g., corporate finance, global portfolio management, and corporate treasury management).

In this course we study how monetary economies interact. International finance is the macroeconomic counterpart to international trade. The latter studies flows of goods and services across national economies. In international finance we study trade in financial assets and national monies across national economies. These are fields that are linked together but there is an important difference in focus. In trade theory the primary focus is the welfare consequences of international transactions. In international finance the primary focus is on the stability of the international monetary system.   1008 visits has been made through our site.     INTERNATIONAL FINANCE by University of California, Los Angeles   URL: http://vegh.sscnet.ucla.edu/courses/Econ192/readings.htm   This course deals with the analysis of macroeconomic issues in open economies.

Students will confront many of the key financial and monetary issues related to what is called globalization: the growth of transnational corporate and economic relationships. Globalization involves the expansion of markets for the inputs and outputs of corporations, extension of the production process across political boundaries to reduce political risks and costs, and expansion of research and development operations across political boundaries to tap a wider and more diverse knowledge base. Because globalization involves transnational corporations in financial transactions in a wide range of currencies, the knowledge acquired in this course is important to understanding the dynamics of corporate finance, as well as the role of governmental and supra governmental institutions in shaping the corporate finance environment. Topics explored in the course will include hedging foreign currency risk, political risk analysis, international credits, Eurocurrency, and central bank policies.
