Welcome to International Economics.

Syllabus:
The syllabus is an overview of the course, an explanation of assignments and a schedule for tests, papers and journals.

Term Paper:
Your term paper will interpret the international macroeconomic position of a
country and the policy options it faces, based on our study of balance
of payments concepts and exchange rate determination in the first half
of the course.

Reading Journal:
The purpose of the journal is to encourage us to be aware of changing international economic circumstances and to apply some of our classroom insights in explaining those situations.

Discussion forum:
In the discussion forum you will be a member of a blackboard group that will initiate an electronic discussion of current events from the past week. When your group is not leading the discussion, your are individually responsible to respond to what others have posted.

Student Exercises and Comments:
In preparing your term paper on a country's macroeconomic policy, you will analyze its primary data using Excel. You can probably improve the quality of your term paper by considering whether patterns in your country are that different from patterns in similar or neighboring countries.
