International Financial Issues in Emerging Markets
In Partnership with
The Inter-American Development Bank
Dates
March 25- 29, 2013
The current global crisis starkly conveys the relevance of international financial links across countries and their impact on the real economy. This interconnectedness poses a set of challenges for policymakers and researchers alike, as international shocks have increasingly influenced macroeconomic outcomes. With these challenges in mind, Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) have developed a course on International Financial Issues in Emerging Markets. The goal of this executive training program is to help world practitioners design and implement macroeconomic and financial policies in a cohesive and comprehensive fashion based on state-of-the-art knowledge of emerging markets.
This program is designed for the experienced global policymaker from Emerging Market governments as well as international financial institutions and investment bankers. It covers macro-financial analytical issues and provides quantitative tools such as growth vulnerability to external factors, international liquidity and vulnerability to financial crises, fiscal vulnerability to Sudden Stops and banking stress tests. The course sessions will be led by a group of experts in the field from Columbia University, IDB, and other institutions bringing together the appropriate focus, theory, and best practice methods in training.
