**************************************************************
The course focuses on exchange-rate markets starting with relationships as covered interest parity and uncovered interest parity and studying speculative positions through carry-trade strategies. It presents models for the exchange rate determination as the monetary model, the balance-of-payment currency crisis model. The course also develops a framework to think about the effects of monetary policy in an international context. Topics also include the determination of the current account and international risk sharing. The last part of the course focuses on the global consequences of cryptocurrencies.
