ECON 661

Examines the macroeconomics of open economies (countries that can trade goods and assets with other countries). Takes a systematic approach to building and examining macroeconomic models of the open economy, to try to understand the determination of output and employment, trade balance, capital flows, the foreign currency exchange rate, international prices, and the role of uncertainty and asset choice.

ECON 464
