This course relies on the basic knowledge a student can get when completing the basic course "Political Economy," that is, an understanding of the principles of economics and a knowledge of the basic features of the evolution of international relations.
The first part of the course focuses on international trade theory. The material covers the development of trade theory from its origins (beginning with Ricardo's theory) to the current state of the art. Students will also be introduced to contemporary issues in trade theory and gain an understanding of the impact of international trade on economic development.
The second part of the course examines trade policy and its implications for the overall economy as well as for different economic agents.
The third part addresses the main challenges associated with international monetary relations and exchange rates.
