Teaching

This lecture is the first part of the module International Economics; the second part International Finance and Macroeconomics is taught by Prof. Nitsch
The lecture provides a state-of-the-art foundation in the field of International Trade. In the first part of the course, we cover the history of neoclassical thinking about international trade flows, inequality, and welfare. On this basis we study international trade policy instruments, i.e. their mechanics and consequences. In the second part, we focus on the role of firms in international commerce, including multinational companies. The course provides an introduction to the relevant conceptual frameworks and gives an overview of the key empirical patterns in trade. Students will be enabled to understand and remember the main forces and considerations that shape the international activities of firms and aggregate trade as well as welfare. Moreover, we analyse the impact of policies by applying theoretical models and empirical evidence.

The class is taught in English

The lecture is part of the module Economics of the Modern Firm; the second part is Economics of Entrepreneurship taught by Prof. Nitsch
In the lecture we use economic tools and approaches to analyse how modern companies are managed and organised both conceptually and empirically. The curriculum is split into the economic analysis of within-firm and between-firm topics of interest. In the first part, we cover management practices, decision-making and hierarchies, as well as personnel economics and internal (labour and capital) markets. In the second, we investigate relationships between companies in the form of formal and relational contracts, the vertical and horizontal boundary of the firm (e.g. make-or-buy decisions), and Mergers & Acquisitions. This introduction to key corporate issues in Organisational Economics is taught in business school style and endows students with a set of conceptual ideas to analyse strategic aspects of firm organisation and business environments.
