Omschrijving | International Monetary Relations covers one of the most basic elements of international economics: in order for trade or investment to cross borders, money must be moved from one locale to another. This course is about how and why this takes place – as well as what problems might arise from such international capital mobility. Key themes to be covered include the evolution of the global monetary system, exchange rates, the spread of financial crises, and the effectiveness of macroeconomic policy in an interdependent world. Crucially, students will also develop a functioning understanding of the balance of payments between nations – the ultimate record of money flowing in and out of an economy. | ||||||||||||||||
