Learning objectives

The course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of international economic interdependencies and recent trends in international trade and their impact on local and global supply chain. After an initial part focused on introducing models explaining international trade flows – interspersed with case studies – the course addresses specific topics concerning global economic trends, from investments to the international monetary system, from trade geography to technological development, and geopolitical aspects.
By the end of the course, the student should be capable of gaining a solid understanding of the international economic environment and recognizing the connections between political and diplomatic developments and their impact on the international economy; applying economic principles and models in an international context; constructing a coherent argument based on economic numbers and facts; interpreting and critically assessing developments in the global economy.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Microeconomics and macroeconomics

Program

The course is divided into two parts. The first part examines international trade, demonstrating its pervasiveness in contemporary economies and providing some models for its interpretation. The second part addresses specific topics relating to current international economic relations. All material will be available on the course's e-learning website and is an integral part of the course. P. Krugman, M. Obstfeld, and M. Melitz, International Economics, vol. 1, Milan, Pearson (twelfth edition). Chapters 1-9 and 12.
