Skrócony opis:

Course in Open Economy Macroeconomics covers issues related to the macroeconomics an economy linked with the rest of the world with different kinds of economic ties.

The course consists of a lecture, where the basic concepts and theories are presented with some empirical illustration. The discussion classes complement the lecture and allow the students to consolidate knowledge acquired during the lecture, to refer it to the empirical examples and to train some analytical skills related presented material. It is expected that students have adequate knowledge of macroeconomics II and basic microeconomics. The lecture ends with a written examination in the form of open questions. In order to pass the exam it is necessary to obtain 50% of points. Final evaluation of the course is given on the basis of the weighted average number of points obtained from the final exam and discussion classes with weights 70% and 30%, respectively.

Pełny opis:

The course starts with an analysis of the structure of balance of payments, its interdependence with other macroeconomic categories, and a reminder of the national income accounting rules in an open economy.

Then a review of theories addressing the problem of determinants of balance of payments is made. This review opens with the classical model. Particular emphasis is placed on the relationship between categories of savings, investment and current account balances. In the remainder of the course, other approaches are discussed, including elasticity approach, monetary approach and multiplier approach.

The subject of the next part of this course is the foreign exchange market, its institutions and transactions. One of the discussed issues is the exchange rate exposure and the possibility of hedging against it. Then determinants of exchange rate are discussed: in the short run (interest rate parity) and long run (purchasing power parity, the effect of Balassa – Samuelson, monetary model). Overview of the theories of exchange rate is completed with the overshooting model by Dornbusch.

The fourth major thematic area consists of issues related to the macroeconomic policy in an open economy. They are analyzed using model ISLMBP at different assumptions about the exchange rate regime and the degree of international capital mobility. The problem of currency crises is an extension of this discussion. The course discusses not only different theoretical approaches crises but also refers to empirical examples from the history of world financial system.

The fifth thematic area is a monetary union, both in theoretical aspect (the theory of optimum currency areas) and in empirical perspective (European experience in this field).

Classes closes with discussion of the history and the present day of the international monetary system.
