As the world becomes increasingly more global, the economic performance of a country becomes open to the effects from other countries. This interaction, occurring through international financial markets, is having a profound effect on economic policies. The objective of this course is to provide the fundamental knowledge that will help students understand the workings of the global economy and related current issues. The course will discuss the foundations of international macroeconomics and present key concepts required to analyze the economic interaction among countries. Basic information about macroeconomics will be followed by capital flows, determining currency rates, current balance, international implications of fiduciary and monetary policies, financial crises, and other relevant topics in international economics.
