The main goal of the "International Economics" course is to introduce students to both classical and modern theories of international trade in goods and services. The course begins with an introduction to International Economics. Next, it introduces a framework for learning about tools of analysis for international trade models. We then turn our attention to tariffs & nontariff barriers and arguments for and against protection. International trade and economic growth will be covered as an important topic. We, then, will elaborate major topics in the balance of payments, the foreign exchange market, and international monetary systems. The final section of the course provides an introduction to some of the more advanced topics in international banking, debt and risk. |
