National and International Economic Policy
The fall semester economics course is designed to provide you with the tools and perspectives necessary to analyze and develop economic strategy in
the globally interdependent world economy. After our opening phase where the basic tools and logic of the market system are introduced, the course
examines and analyzes domestic and international economic issues and policies. The domestic policy phase includes growth and technology policies,
fiscal and monetary policies, and examines budgetary issues and challenges. The international phase considers trade and finance concepts and policies
in an interdependent world and examines economic aspects of centers of power in the global economy, including China, India and Russia.
Sessions dealing with key linkages in the global economy focus on policies concerning economic development and nation-building and on the economic
dimensions of statecraft. The course ends with a policy-oriented, international strategic exercise, which is based on the Oxford Economic Forecasting
Global Macroeconomic Model.
