| Location: | America Square Conference Centre / London / United Kingdom |
| Category: | Education |
Both courses take place in Central London.
International Economics Refresher and Update
This course is an intensive two day course designed to refresh and then update the knowledge of the candidate. The first day is spent on International Trade and the second on International Macroeconomics. The course is an equal balance of theoretical and applied material, and historical and current examples are used to bring relevance to the material. There is a strong emphasis on policy, and on the application of models through class discussion, and exercises. A primary objective is that the candidate is able to see some of the linkages between the micro (trade) and macro material by the conclusion.
Economic Growth
Taught by Prof. Jean Imbs, the purpose of this course is to present an overview of the theory of economic growth, at Masters level. The main theories are introduced in as intuitive a way as possible, to pinpoint as rigorously as possible which ones withstand empirical scrutiny and why. This is not a theoretical course, but techniques are discussed that help think about the economic growth question in a unified manner, and that motivate the empirical questions in the field. Throughout the class, special attention is being paid to data, and to what empirical research has taught us about the effective determinants of economic growth. The proposed structure leaves plenty of room for group discussions, particularly as regards more recent developments on both empirical and theoretical fronts.
