Overview
In a world of increasing economic interdependencies, understanding the macro-economy of developed and emerging markets is of the utmost importance to global businesses and organisations. To this end, this course introduces students to current macroeconomic issues (such as global imbalances, austerity versus growth debate…) and the role of fiscal policy, monetary policy and exchange rate policies in our economies.
To achieve the learning goals described above, the teaching approach will be to complement the economic analysis with economic data, news and reports. The course material will be based on a mix of articles, book chapters and lecture notes.
