Kommentar/Beschreibung

Starting with the balance of payments and models of purchasing power parity, interest rate parity, foreign exchange market and a Keynesian consensus model of an open economy, the effects of economic policy measures and disturbances are examined under constant and variable inflation. Various exchange rate regimes are addressed, overshooting, original sin, credit risk, and international financial architecture issues. The possible failure of the interest rate parity is explained using various approaches. The models are enriched by case studies, interactive classroom games using classEx and empirical methods..
