World Economic Outlook

The World Economic Outlook will focus on four modules based on topics that cover the major areas of international economics, trade and capital flows:

- Output and growth: where will it come from - Trade flows, the global balance of payments and exchange rates: does the U.S. need China or does China need the U.S. - Central banks and monetary policy: did central banks create or solve the recent crisis - International financial institutions and the case for global reform: do we need a leader

Each module will begin with the instructor's description of the main issues that characterize each topic. Participants will then be required to review brief articles that will form the basis of a discussion to follow. The discussion will help participants demystify the language of international economics as well as identify the emerging trends in global finance.
