PP5213: Contemporary Financial Policy Issues in Emerging Asia
Course Outline:
Asia's share of the world's GDP, which is currently little above twenty percent, is likely to double by 2030. This has drawn much attention to the dynamic emerging Asian region, especially to the economic giants - China and India. This course explores different aspects of contemporary international economic issues in the region. Coverage will be broad, focusing on financial crises, reserve accumulation, capital flows and currency wars, on the one hand, and issues relating to foreign direct investment and developments in China and India, on the other.
Since this is a graduate level course with only one lecture per week, significant degree of self-study, reading and initiative is expected. The course is fairly intensive and students are expected to have fully read the assigned readings before class.
Prereqs: Need to have completed Economics and Public Policy I and Economics and Public Policy II and basic statistics. PP5247 and PP5213 preclude each other. Students will not be able to register for both modules. Also, students who have taken PP5247 in the past will not be able to register for PP5213. Given the heavy policy emphasis in this course, it will be complementary to other ones such as PP5212 and others which lay heavy emphasis on learning analytical tools.

In-class Finals (30%).
Take-home Exam Question (10%)

Important information on grading: I have high standards and it is unlikely (though by no means impossible) that more than 30 percent of the class will get an “A” or “A-” grade (i.e. sign of good performance in my class). The median grade is likely to be in the range of B+ to B. Grades in this class have to be earned; they are not an entitlement and neither are they negotiable.
Policy on Plagiarism: The profession of scholarship and the intellectual life of a university as well as the field of public policy inquiry depend fundamentally on a foundation of trust. Thus any act of plagiarism strikes at the heart of the meaning of the university and the purpose of the School of Public Policy. It constitutes a serious breach of professional ethics and it is unacceptable. Plagiarism is the use of another’s words or ideas presented as one’s own. It includes, among other things, the use of specific words, ideas, or frameworks that are the product of another’s work. Honesty and thoroughness in citing sources is essential to professional accountability and personal responsibility. Appropriate citation is necessary so that arguments, evidence, and claims can be critically examined. I take plagiarism seriously and has adopted a zero tolerance policy. Any plagiarized assignment will receive an automatic grade of “F.”
