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.
Blackboard:
This is the place to look for assignments and class announcements.
I will typically send these to you by email, but in case you don't receive
them, check here.
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.
