| Omschrijving |
Globally there is increasing realization of the need to attract foreign capital for national development. Foreign capital flows could take the form of foreign direct investment (FDI), foreign equity capital, foreign debt, foreign aid or official development assistance and increasingly remittances. There is also increasing attention for capital flight. The impact of capital flows and how best to attract and utilize them, especially in developing countries, remain a crucial policy debate. Moreover, the operations of multilateral and international financial institutions and their protocols are complex. This course deals with the role and impact of external finance for development and the mechanisms for attracting them. It also discusses the dynamics of multilateral institutional arrangements, like the World Bank and the IMF. The course consists of main lectures and a group assignment for which students need to present and discuss a paper on International Capital Flows and Development. If MSc Finance students want to do a focus area in “Finance and Development”, this course needs to be combined with the course “Inclusive Finance” . |
