The course covers the exchange rate and the current account, and relates their determination to world capital markets and the domestic macroeconomy. The course discusses economic policies and their effects under different exchange rate regimes ranging from floating rates to fixed rates to monetary unions, and presents implications for the current account and the economy as a whole. A final part of the course turns to current policy topics including recent global financial crises, the Great Recession of 2008, and prevailing global imbalances. 2 Prerequisites Economics 110B or 173A or 175. 3 Readings Lecture notes become available online at econ.ucsd.edu/muendler/teach/12s/103 before each class. Textbook: Krugman, Obstfeld, and Melitz (2011) Readings: McKinnon (1993), Rogoff (1996); Calvo and Reinhart (2002); McKinnon (2001), Eichengreen (2006), Stiglitz (2000), Diamond and Dybvig (1983), Duffie (2010), Greenspan (2010), Allsopp and Artis (2003), The readings (articles) help you review the lecture material beyond the textbook. They are available through the class web page (see link above). Web links to copyrighted readings only work from on-campus domains. 1

4 Problem Sets There will be three problem sets, due on scheduled dates throughout the quarter. The first problem set will have eight questions, the latter two will have six questions each. Correct answers count for four points per question. Nels Lind and Albert Yoon will offer three problem set review sections on April 26 (Nels Lind), May 17 (Albert Yoon) and June 7 (Albert Yoon) to help you solve the problems. Your solutions to the problem sets will be graded and your performance on them will be part of the final grade. Problem sets have to be handed in before 5:00pm on the due date. You can drop the problem sets off at Econ 113 (Albert Yoon s office) or at Sequoyah 207 (Nels Lind s office), or in Professor Marc Muendler s mailbox. The three due dates are April 27, May 18 and June 8. During the quarter, graded problem sets will be available in the immediately following exam review section to help you prepare for the respective exams. 5 Assessment There will be two midterm exams and a final exam. The two midterm exams will take 70 minutes each and the final exam will take 120 minutes (no extra time). All exams are cumulative. Midterm exams take place in class and contain seven 10-minute questions each. The final exam contains twelve 10-minute questions. Problem sets have to be handed in before 5:00pm on the due date to be considered. Your final raw score will be your total points from the three exams and the three problem sets: Problem sets: 100 points (40+30+30 points) 4/27, 5/18, 6/8 Midterm 1 (70 minutes): 70 points 5/1 Midterm 2 (70 minutes): 70 points 5/24 Final (120 minutes): 120 points 6/14 Total: 360 points Your final letter grade will be inferred from the typical grade distribution (curve) in economics classes at UC San Diego since 2000. The grade distribution is at econ.ucsd.edu/muendler/teach/12s/103. Therefore the difficulty or simplicity of problem sets and exams will not matter, whereas your relative performance in comparison to your classmates will determine your final letter grade. Grades of D or F, however, will not depend on the curve but on a minimal performance standard. Nels Lind and Albert Yoon will hold three exam review sections on April 30 (Nels Lind), May 23 (Albert Yoon) and June 8 (Albert Yoon) to help you prepare for the exams. Appeals of scores on exams must be submitted in writing, along with all prior exams and problem sets. Following the appeal, all questions on all exams will be reconsidered. Participation in exams is mandatory and excused only under the conditions that also permit an incomplete grade: course work must be of non-failing quality and absence must be for a cause beyond the student s control. In particular, the incidence of other exams on the same day is no reason for an excuse from the exam. During exams, only a pen, a pencil, a ruler and an eraser are permitted for use. No other material is allowed. Principles of academic honesty are strictly applied. 2
