Cíle předmětu
The course International Economics is divided into three parts: (i) international trade theory, (ii) international trade policy, and (iii) open-economy macroeconomics. In the part devoted to international trade theory, several trade models are presented. These models explain trade flows between economies as well as the impact of these flows on income distribution. In the part devoted to international trade policy the effects of trade policy instruments such as tariffs, quotas, etc., are discussed as well as their political-economy context. In the part devoted to open-economy macroeconomics, the exchange rate determination in the short and long run is explained as well as the connection of exchange rates with price levels, money supply, balance of payment, interest rates, inflation and output.
