This course is designed to provide an understanding of why international trade takes place, what type of goods will be traded, and what are the costs and benefits of international trade. Trade policy issues, concerning both the choice of national policies and the role of regional or global institutions (such as WTO, IMF, OECD), will be analysed. This course also deals with the analysis of two important and related macroeconomics issues in open economies: the exchange rate and the capital flows.
International economic institutions since World War II; comparative advantage and the gains from trade; comparative advantage and factor endowments; the theory of tariffs and quotas; international trade and labor and environmental standards; trade and the balance of payments; exchange rates and exchange rate systems; an introduction to open economy macroeconomics; international financial crises; the European Union: many markets into one.
