International Finance

The summer school in International Finance will run in the afternoons. Each day will feature a two-hour lecture followed by a one-hour interactive session, which will include hands-on examples, class discussion, and presentations.

The first half of the course will start with some discussion on the Dilemma hypothesis, followed by the introduction of an open economy macroeconomic model to think about the empirical evidence and the policy implications.

The second part will first analyze current account imbalances in the Euro Area, the debt crisis, and the role of monetary policy, and then look at the link between capital flows and inequality.
