Teams and
Tasks :
If not indicated differently, the numbers refer to the "Questions and Problems"
at the end of the chapters of the Purge book.
- Unfortunately the group-presentation had to be cancelled.
You are still heartily invited to read the texts as they show the real-world
applications of International Economics (often in the evaluation questionnaires
the lack of applications is listed, so here it is - take your chance).
- The following tasks (from Mankiw and Pugel) are examples of possible exam-questions.
ALL of you should prepare ALL questions. One group is asked to present the tasks
in class, but the others should be prepared (or have concrete questions) as
they might have to solve something similar in the exam.
