- SYLLABUS
|
This course considers international macroeconomic issues. It covers a broad range of topics including the foreign exchange market, balance of payments analysis and the relative advantages of fixed and flexible exchange rate systems, monetary and fiscal policy in an open economy. Precisely, the course will start by examining the activities of traders, investors, and speculators in spot and forward foreign-exchange markets and their effects on exchange-rate behavior. Next, it will focus on the fundamental determinants of the balance of payments and the international context within which domestic macroeconomic policies are designed and conducted. Finally, we will study international macroeconomic linkages and the significance of international macroeconomic policy co-ordination.
