Section Description
The Economics of Globalization is an introduction to four main facets of international interdependence: international trade, international finance, international migration, and cross-border effects of carbon emissions. In each case there is an introduction to basic concepts and tools from economic theory that are used to analyze these topics, and a survey of the empirical evidence that informs understanding of some of the most important questions. There is a required textbook. Additional readings on each topic are on the course webpage. The readings are excerpts from books, academic articles, and journalistic pieces. Goals are as follows: 1. Students will develop a basic understanding of the economic analysis of international trade, finance, migration and climate change. 2. Students will have a grasp of the key questions and empirical evidence on each of the topics.
