Objectives
This course provides students with the framework and decision tools needed for understanding economic events, taking financial decisions and evaluating investment opportunities in a global economy. The course builds up an integrated model of exchange rate and output determination, which is used to analyze current economic events and to understand monetary and fiscal policies. Relevant applications and case studies will be presented such as the recent financial crisis, the slide in the Turkish lira, the run on the Argentinian peso and the request for an IMF loan, and the rise (and fall) of cryptocurrencies valuation.
