The course discusses policy options available to reap the benefits of capital market integration while minimizing and mitigating its adverse effects; it introduces the determinants of capital flows and the link between these flows and economic growth, macroeconomic volatility, and crisis risk; and concludes with a discussion of capital account management tools and how they relate to financial regulation and exchange rate intervention. Participants will be expected to engage in discussions and will work on practical workshop exercises to solidify their understanding of the lecture material.
