International Economics is concerned with explaining the motivations and actions of economic agents as they made decisions about scarce resources, and the effect these actions have on the global and domestic economy. This class will provide the context through which international economic events can be interpreted. In thinking about the class there will be three areas of discovery: theory, policy and data. We will be studying neoclassical theories, which explain the casual factors that determine the size and composition of international transactions, we will be examining policies, which influence these transactions and finally we will be looking at empirical information, which will help us critically evaluate thetheories and policies.
