Description
The Economics for Policy II course focuses on Macroeconomics and International Economics, i.e. to the branch of Economics that focuses on the performance of the economy as a whole in a global environment. We will devote particular attention to the international dimension, and to the tools available to policy makers. Issues covered include the determinants of economic growth, inflation, and unemployment, the potential and pitfalls of fiscal and monetary policy in both closed and open economies, the benefits and challenges of international trade, and dynamics of the global financial system. Following the contemporary growing global attention to sustainability, the implications of some of these topics will be explored in relation to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
