Topics: This course covers important principles in macroeconomics and international trade. We will discuss topics such as the effects of adverse shocks (e.g. different recent crisis situations) on economies, how fiscal and monetary policy work and how such policies can be used in times of crisis. We will analyze the impact of trade on economies, openness to trade versus protectionism and the implications of certain trade instruments.
Date: you can chose this semester between 3 groups, one regular group online via zoom and another regular group in the form of classroom meetings; the 3rd group offered will target those of you who would like to go through the material at a bit of a faster pace and will also take place online:
Group 1 (regular group, online via zoom): Mondays, 08:00-09:30 (access details to zoom are provided in the first section of the moodle class)
Group 2 (regular group, classroom meetings, room: W3.20): Wednesdays, 08:00-09:30
Group 3 ("fast" group, online via zoom): Tuesdays, 11:40-13:10 (access details to zoom are provided in the first section of the moodle class); this group targets those of you who would like to go through the material at a bit of a faster pace; hence, in this group, we go through the material a bit more quickly compared to the other two regular groups.
