Course content

Globalisation affects the effectiveness of macroeconomic policy instruments. Small open economics with free mobility of capital are strongly affected by international conditions. The foreign exchange market has a large impact on domestic financial markets and the possibilities for macroeconomic policy. New institutional arrangements are developed as response to the new challenges, as for example independent central banks and a common currency (EU). The course includes different topics to illustrate monetary and fiscal policy in small open economies.

Learning outcome

The students should acquire knowledge of macroeconomic relationships and macroeconomic policy in small countries with an extremely open economy.
