International Economics BEA105

Introduction

The study of international economics provides students with a balance of both micro and macro view of economics in a global perspective. The emphasis on international trade, investment and monetary related issues provide students the required analytical tools to understand the implications of trade and monetary issues on global and local economies. Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to demonstrate why global and regional uneven development occurs and why efficiency and equity do not always complement each other.
