Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to provide students with an in-depth analysis of some variables that are crucial in the analysis of monetary policy in an open economy context. The teaching style of the course facilitates the interface between the results of theoretical and empirical research, and the problems of current monetary policy. What learned during the course will be used to provide a critical analysis of the European Monetary Union and of the Global Financial Crisis. To this end, we will introduce a set of concepts typical of an open economy context (nominal and real exchange rate, purchasing power parity, uncovered interest rate parity, fixed versus flexible exchange rates,...). At the same time there will be, during classes, references and examples to other countries such as the U.S., Japan, the UK, the BRIC and developing countries.
