International Business Policy [учебная программа]
This course applies principles of finance to the international seting. International finance is different in two basic respects. First, the existence of multiple currencies adds risk to investment and financing decisions. Second, when corporations and portfolio investors cross international borders both problems and opportunities arise. Students will focus on these issues and highlight how finance theory can be extended to address them. We will start with basic principles of international finance, then apply those principles to a variety of problems. The course will help you to understand the ideas and research results of international finance and to adapt what you learn to the practical problems on the increasingly global business world beyond the classroom.
