The program in International Economics
examines the structure, functioning, and
interaction of economic systems. The
curriculum familiarizes students with the
laws and tendencies that govern the
functioning of firms and the decision-making
process of consumers, and proceeds to
emphasize issues such as growth, employment,
inflation, balance of payments, and income
distribution.
Students are concomitantly exposed to
important topics in international economics,
such as the causes and consequences of
international exchange, trade models, trade
barriers, monetary aspects of international
trade, adjustment policies under fixed and
floating exchange rates, reform of the
international monetary system, development,
and under-development.
