The first part of the course will focus on theoretical frameworks designed to understand the drivers and implications of international trade and review empirical applications of these models.

The second part of the course will cover distributional consequences of trade policy instruments, arguments for trade protection, and the organization of the world trade system. More advanced topics in microeconomics will be introduced throughout the course. Virtual Focus area: Core; International Economics Learn about the basic theory underlying international macroeconomics.

Topics include international financial markets and the macroeconomics of open economies; balance of payments and the trade balance; exchange rates and the foreign exchange market; expectations, interest rates and capital flows; monetary and fiscal policy in open economies; exchange rate regimes; and macroeconomic policy in open economies.

Basic algebra will be used in this class. This course is a prerequisite to most upper-level economics courses. Jim Marckwardt : On-campus Focus areas: Security, Strategy, and Statecraft; The Americas This course provides an introduction to the study and analysis of both the history and the evolution of the security policy sphere.

This policy sphere is defined in a broad sense—from nation states, to guerrillas and insurgencies, to organized crime, gangs, traffickers, that is, all enemies of the state. The main lens of analysis is the study of the multiple strategies that the US has implemented to confront the evolving conflict and security challenges in Latin America: some debatably successful like Plan Colombia, and others less so, such as the interventions in Nicaragua.

The lack of economic opportunity, rampant corruption, weak rule of law and fragile government institutions continue to riddle Latin America and serve as migration factors. Newer initiatives such as the Merida Initiative, the Central American Regional Security Initiative CARSI and the Alliance for Prosperity are also analyzed to learn from the past and the present to address shortfalls and potential solutions in a region beleaguered by insecurity and violence, in spite of the absence of international wars.

The two great wars in Europe were total, unambiguous, and definitive. Warfare today appears ambiguous, murky, confusing, never ending and politically complicated—especially for the legalistic United States.

The great powers specifically fight and stay in this early stage of warfare of cyberspace operations, information operations, and limited or no kinetic conflict, careful never to escalate to state-on-state war. Online classes are asynchronous learning divided into weekly modules, consisting of pre-recorded lectures, activities, and assignments housed in the Blackboard Bb learning management system. While there is no scheduled class time to attend, faculty will schedule weekly live meetings for you to interact with your classmates and synthesize the material reviewed in Bb.

The live sessions are optional and may be recorded for those unable to attend. Assignments and activities, just as with in-person courses, have due dates and deadlines and are administered using Blackboard. Develops tools for estimating functional relationships and critically reading empirical studies that use different econometric techniques; presents assumptions of multivariate regression and discusses the most common econometric problems and the potential consequences and remedies; and discusses omitted variables, sample selection, heteroscedasticity, autocorrelation, multicollinearity and use of discrete variables.

Introduces students to instrumental variable technique. Uses statistical software in applied exercises. Prerequisite: Statistics for Data Analysis. Johannes Urpelainen : Online Focus area: Development, Climate, and Sustainability This course introduces students to the fundamentals of energy, resources and environment.

It covers a wide range of topics from the functioning of electricity markets to the challenge of climate policy and the management of air pollution.
