Goals and contents of the module: The course offers an introduction to international macroeconomics at the graduate level, emphasizing theory and the use of formal dynamic macroeconomic models. Models are used to tackle concrete policy problems. Students are provided with a toolkit and are encouraged to think independently. Topics covered will include (time permitting): current accounts and global imbalances, open-economy real business cycle models, nominal and real exchange rates, nominal rigidities and monetary policy in open economies, financial and exchange rate crises, sovereign debt crises.
Expected competences acquired after completion of the module: The students know international macro models at an advanced level. They are able to understand and to analyze macroeconomic questions arising in the open economy using formal mathematical models. They are able to analyze concrete macroeconomic policy questions.
