This course provides a broad overview of the microeconomic aspects of the international economy. It examines the dynamics of globalization, focusing on the cross-border movement of goods, services, people, capital, and ideas. Drawing on intermediate microeconomic theory, the course analyzes the benefits and costs of globalization, its effects on wages, income distribution, and national welfare, and how these factors intersect with government policies. Topics include international trade, labor mobility, capital flows, and the role of international institutions in shaping economic outcomes.
