Document Summary

Last week we stopped at neoliberal view on international capital flows. The topic is up to us, but it has to be related to the major themes of the course. What you want to write on you will decide. Try to do as much research as possible, and put as much into outline as possible. Logical reasoning and evidence that supports this reasoning. Topic must be related to one of main themes of the course. If there are any questions, go to office hours. Try to incorporate as much theory as possible. So we started with neoliberal view and critical view last class. Now we continue with balance of payments. Balance of payments, current account, surplus, capital flight, cash account, changing official reserves etc. all part of lecture and discussion, we will elaborate -- but all in. When we focus on balance of payments, we can focus on what exactly it does.
