Description:

This course emphasizes the study of forces driving the observed trends in regional and global integration. Students will examine whether the world-wide division of labor can be explained by comparative advantage or by increasing returns to scale and externalities. Students will then examine the impact of integration on three growing world markets: commodities, capital, and labor. They will also delve into the role these markets play in generating frictions among nations. The course concludes with an examination of the role of a world trade organization, world financial system, and world foreign exchange system in facilitating the globalization process. Lessons will be drawn from history, particularly the collapse of the Bretton Woods System. Prerequisite: C- or better in Economics 101. 1.00 units, Lecture
