◆INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS　－　（前）

PARSONS CRAIG

○講義概要

International Economics is comprised of essential two subfields: International Trade and International Finance. This course will focus primarily on the former, in which we will study the theoretical underpinnings for the gains from trade, the costs of trade protectionism, and the inevitable redistribution of income that occurs as countries interact more and more with each other. This course will give you the fundamentals to understand what economists mean when they (often) say `Globalization is Good`.
