Syllabus : International economics studies the economic and financial interdependence of sovereign nations. Current topics of interest include: the determinants of international trade, trade policies and their effects, the internationalization of financial markets, macroeconomic equilibria (or imbalances) in different countries and their propagation to the global economy, the functioning of foreign exchange markets and the economic impact of migration.

The student participating in the course will be able to answer questions such as: why do countries trade with each other? Is it really profitable? And if so, for whom? What effect does international trade have on wages? Do duties increase the welfare of the country that imposes them? What economic effects do international migration flows have? What effects do monetary policies have on the determination of the exchange rate? What does "dumping" or "multinational company" really mean?

The course is divided into two modules. The first module deals with international trade, its determinants, its effects and commercial policies. The second module deals with the issues of balance of payments, exchange rates and their determination, migration and their economic impact
