Additional lectures in International Trade

There are two courses offered by our Faculty in FS 2011 which are related to and build on “Advanced International Trade”. Thus, there is a great opportunity for students interested in the field of international trade and business to enrol in these two additional courses offered by well-known scholars. The courses allow capturing some synergies. These are the two courses which we highly recommend:

Prof. M. Scott Taylor (University of Calgary): International Trade, Environment and
Renewable Resources (3 CP, offered in April 2011). Dates are:                                     11.-15. April and 18.-20. April, 10-12 a.m. in room S14, WWZ, exceptions 12th April in room S13 and 15th April in room S15. The Outline can be found here. Lecture materials can be downloaded here.              

Prof. Bradford Jensen (Georgetown University): Economics and Policy in the Global Business Environment (3 CP, offered in August 2011 as part of the Summer School). More details can be found here.
