PhD mini-course in International Macroeconomics with Tim Kehoe

NHH June 4th - June 8th 2007.

The general field of International Economics has traditionally been divided into two subfields: International Finance and International Trade. In this course we will ignore this division. We will start by studying models from International Trade - the Ricardian model, the Heckscher-Ohlin model, and variants of the New Trade Theory model. By emphasizing dynamic general equilibrium versions of these models, we will develop tools compatible with modern, general equilibrium macroeconomics. We will then use these sorts of models to address a number of topics, some of which are typically studied in International Finance courses.
