Economics of European Integration

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course combines micro- and macro-economic tools with European history, institutions, law, politics, and policies to provide a clear and in-depth analysis of international economic integration. We will examine the principles of markets integration (preferential trade liberalization, scale and growth effects, labor, and migration) and monetary integration (currency areas). The goal of the course is not only to understand the current status of (dis)integration within the European Union but to provide students with the essential economic toolkit to interpret the contemporary evolution and policies of our integrated economy.
