Seminar
WiSe 13/14: International Macroeconomics
Irwin Collier, Julia Püschel
Kommentar
This course covers key issues and policy debates in international economics. The first half of the course will be dedicated to topics in international macroeconomics (international monetary system, exchange rate regimes, etc.) while the second half will address international trade. Particular emphasis will be placed on the international role of the US economy, global imbalances and international trade policy. The class combines a 2-hour lecture module on Tuesdays, followed by a 2-hour seminar session on Thursdays during which we will discuss case studies and/or policy applications. Attendance of both classes is mandatory.
Course requirements: the requirements are active participation, biweekly 1-page response papers to the required readings (due on Thursdays) and a take home exam in the form of a 1500- word essay or a problem set. Format and content of the essay/problem-set will be announced two weeks prior to the due date. The seminar will be taught in English. Homework and essays can be written in German or English. Ability and willingness to read English texts is essential in any case. Texts will be made available on Blackboard.
Registration: students wishing to participate in this seminar need to register early with the department of economics (R 232, Tel. 838 536 03, economics@jfki.fu-berlin.de). If interest exceeds capacity, a preliminary assessment will determine who can participate. All students absolutely need to attend the first session. An electronic copy of all written course work must be send to econarchive@jfki.fu-berlin.de to be considered fulfilment of the course requirements.
