Over the last few years I resumed teaching the international economics
sequence of courses in the departments of economics and business administration
at the graduate and advanced undergraduate levels. This includes cpmbinations
of international finance, economic integration and European economy.
My objective has been that of selecting from the 3 volumes of the
Handbook of International Economics
the most appropriate readings on the finance side and attempting to show
the strong link with macroeconomics.
The titles of the courses have been:
- International Economics Bloc
II Finance seven lectures in the doctoral program offered in the
Fall of 2004
- Financial globalization and the
euro a series of five lectures in a special graduate course
in Financial Markets, Institutions and Instruments offered by Nova Forum
in cooperation with the Porto Derivatives Exchange offered in Spring 2000.
- International
Finance, an optional course in the doctoral program of
the economics department offered during the third quarter of 1998/99 and
1999/2000 as part of the macroeconomics sequence
(it was bracketed in Spring 2000 because of my appointment to the OECD Development Centre) and again in 2004/05;
- International
Finance, an optional course in the doctoral program of
the economics department, lectured in English at the participants' request
during the third quarter of 1997/98 where papers were due on 27 July, 1998;
- European integration,
an optional course in the MBA program of the management department, bracketed
in the Spring 1998 due to insufficient enrollment;
- International Monetary Economics,
an optional course in the doctoral program of the economics department,
lectured in English at the participants' request during the third quarter
of 1996/97;
- The European Economy,
an optional course in the undergraduate program of the economics
department, lectured in English at the participants' request during the
Spring and Fall terms of 1996;
- Economic integration,
an optional course in the undergraduate program of the economics
department, offered during the Fall terms of 1994 and the Spring term of
1995.
The approach followed in these courses is one of open-economy macroeconomics
with an emphasis on policy-making institutions in the fiscal and monetary
areas. It therefore stresses the management of international interdependence
through various forms of cooperation and integration among nation-states.
The contradictory pressures of globalization of businesses and accountability
to citizens are identified. Case studies of countries who have managed
to adjust to these pressures are presented, especially in Europe.
