Course objectives (in Czech)
With the opening up of post centrally planned economies and the increasing interdependence of world economies, a proper understanding of how national economies interact becomes essential for informed policy and business decisions making. This course responds to this need by sharpening your ability for clear economic analysis. It provides you with a guide to a comprehensive, relevant, and up-to-date review of the political economy of international trade and finance. By utilizing the analytical tools that you studied in Macroeconomics and Microeconomics, this course first introduces the analytical aspect of the global flow of commodities and financial assets. It presents the core components of modern trade theory, determinants of interest rates, exchange rates, and capital flows. Subsequently, the course discusses practical and political questions relating to trade barriers, trade policies of select developed and developing countries, the behavior of multinational firms, and the consequences of free capital flows.
