教育目標

The purpose of this course is to provides rigorous introduction to international finance. The main focus of the course is on foreign exchange and international capital markets. To this end, we will explain the relevant theories and associate empirical tools in this class. The course is organized into two parts (theoretical models and empirical studies). First, we begin with an introduction to the foreign exchange market, basic open-economy macroeconomics and theoretical models for understanding how foreign exchange rates are determined (the Mundell and Fleming propositions) and forward exchange rate market. Second, I will introduce how to conduct empirical studies for testing, for example, the PPP hypothesis, the monetary model and the current account sustainability.
