Course content

The aim of this course is to provide students with an introduction to macroeconomics and international trade. The course focuses on the behavior of the economy in the short-run, specifically looking at the goods and financial markets. The course is designed to help students understand how these two markets operate, how they interact with each other, and how they are impacted by macroeconomic policies. The key mechanisms will first be explained in a context of closed economy and the analysis will then be extended to include international trade and financial openness.
