Economics of Global Business

(4 Credits)

The objective of this course is to provide future decision-makers with a systematic understanding of critical aspects of economic development and the global business environment. We will examine the basic workings of the national economies (macroeconomics) and then explain the role of international trade and international finance. We show how the forces of globalization affect international business, down to the impact on the future careers of NYU students. The challenges presented by tepid economic growth in Europe, a soft landing in China, and the changing dynamics in the US, and the long run prospects for global economic growth and development are discussed.
