国际金融前沿专题:实证分析
International Finance, The Global Economy and Exchange Rates: A Practical Approach
This course starts by introducing students to the basic concepts of international macroeconomics and finance (exchanger rates, current accounts, etc) and then discusses the most fundamental theories of exchange rate determination. We then consider macroeconomic policy issues under conditions of financial globalization and we discuss applied policy issues pertaining to the open economies of China, the US, Europe and Asia. Special emphasis will be placed on current developments and the students will have the opportunity to understand and discuss many timely issues (e.g., what is the proper exchange rate regime? what should be the Yuan/dollar exchange rate? will the Euro survive? what are the major challenges faced by emerging markets? etc).
