IPE of Monetary Relations

Uitgebreide vaknaam	International Political Economy of Monetary Relations
Leerdoelen	By the end of this course unit, students will be able to: 1. Evaluate the condition of an economy through an analysis of the balance of payments 2. Explain the movement of exchange rates and critically assess arguments for both floating and fixed exchange rate regimes 3. Contrast the different international monetary regimes which have prevailed since the start of the 20th century 4. Use a basic open-economy macroeconomic framework to evaluate the impact of policies and shocks on countries operating in an internationalized and interdependent context.
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.
