The International Finance: Theory and Practice course at Singapore Management University’s Global Summer Programme offers a postgraduate-level exploration of international macroeconomics. Students delve into theoretical models that underpin current international macroeconomic thinking, such as the determination of balance of payments, international capital movement, and real and nominal exchange rates. These models are then applied to analyze and understand important current issues like global imbalances, currency crises, and international economic policy coordination. The course emphasizes training in international aspects of macroeconomics at both the intuitive and theoretical levels.
