At the end of the course the student should be able to: - know and understand the main issues in international monetary economics; - applying knowledge and understanding to monetary policy in the short- and long-run, to exchange rate theories, to the consequences of fixed and flexible exchange rate regimes, to international movements of capital, to international financial crises and the policies implemented by domestic and international policy-makers to counteract them; - making judgments with respect to the issues that have been discussed in the course; - written communication skills; - learning skills.
