1 Economics 342: International Macroeconomics Kimberly A. Clausing Fall 2012 Vollum 230 Perhaps more than ever before, an international perspective is required to address the fundamental questions of macroeconomics. What determines the level of economic activity in an economy? What determines the pace of economic growth? What are the effects of monetary and fiscal policy? An international perspective not only improves understanding of these familiar questions, but it also allows one to consider important new questions. For instance, why do some countries run trade deficits or surpluses? Should such imbalances concern policy makers? Why do some countries encounter financial crises? What is the proper response to these crises? Further, countries differ a great deal in terms of their exposure to the international economy, their level of economic development, their size, and their institutions. These differences are important for understanding how their economies function as well as the likely effects of macroeconomic policies. In this course, we will build a framework that allows us to address the many interesting questions of international macroeconomics. In this context, several important topics will be discussed, including the following. What role do monetary and fiscal policy have in open economies? Is there a need for new international financial institutions? What are the merits of European Monetary Union? What are the tradeoffs between fixed and flexible exchange rates? What can account for financial crises? Reading: You should purchase Krugman and Obstfeld, 9th edition. Substantial additional material will come from other sources on reserve. When possible, materials are on e-reserve, but some selections of books are only available as hard copies. Office Hours: I will hold regular office hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 until 11:30am. You can also reach me by to schedule other times. Requirements: Evaluation will be based on four problem sets, a midterm exam, a final exam, a group presentation, and participation in discussion. Mark the following days in your calendar. Midterm Exam October 12 Problem Sets Due September 17, October 5, November 5 and 21 Presentations November 7, 16 and 28 Final Exam to be set by Registrar s office, during December (Warning: Do not make early travel arrangements until set.)
