Economics: Advanced Course in Economic Integration
Course 路 7.5 credits
Description
The course deals with both regional and multilateral economic integration, and the institutional and economic context within which they take place. Examples of issues covered include the current challenges faced by the World Trade Organization, the integration of various non-tariff barriers, the use of international sanctions, and the effects of trade integration within countries, such as on labor markets and the growth of populist political forces. An important theme for the whole course is disintegration in several forms, for example through the backlash to globalization and rise of economic nationalism. The course also contains a detailed presentation of methodological tools to assess the effects of economic integration, and trains students in explaining complex analyses to both experts and non-experts.
