Аннотация
n this course, we’ll cover in more depth some classic topics in International Economics including the
Balassa-Samuelson model, empirical determinants of exchange rates, including an investigation into the
empirical determinants of cryptocurrency exchange rates, and Dutch Disease – a crucially important
topic for Russia. We’ll also look at the impact of exchange rate regimes on trade, the gravity model of
international trade, and the impact of the Rise of China, the impact of sanctions on Russia, and the
Trump Trade War. The overwhelming focus of the course will be on well-identified empirical work in
International Economics, complemented with a smaller dose of theory. There will also be two “bonus”
lectures: one on Entrepreneurship, where I’ll summarize teachings from books like “the Lean Startup”
and “the Mom Test”, and on raising Venture Capital money. And the second entitled “So, You Want to
be a Trader?” about trading for those interested in launching a trading career. (Note that I also been
fortunate to have made 7 figures as a trader, and the misfortune to have given some of that back as an
entreprenuer;).
