Teaching International Economics and Globalization (91891)

Program:
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Globalization has created new growth opportunities for companies by accessing resources and serving markets worldwide. Furthermore, Global value chains (GVCs) emerged as the paradigm for the international organization of production. For most goods and services, production is vertically fragmented across different countries and this reality gave rise to a significant new strand of research in international trade. Nowadays, GVCs are probably the most prominent feature of globalization.
This course focuses on a) strategic and organizational challenges involved in managing activities across borders; b) impacts of the GVCs on international trade, investment patterns and competitiveness.
The aim of the course is to provide an in-depth understanding of the evolution of foreign direct investments and the main drivers behind the significant expansion of GVCs in recent decades.
It will look at theories concerning the existence and pattern of multinational firms and the different methodologies used in the literature to map and measure GVCs.
