How do we approach the main books?
B&W:
Lectures will be critical and research-based:
• Why are the issues and topics of the book important
• What are the strengths and weaknesses of the analysis
in the book (i.e., “the models”).
OEM:
Lectures will aim to help learning the book’s approach
to the modelling of the market for foreign exchange
DeGrauve:
Here the aim is to get an overview of main topics and
lines of argument in the book.
Mainly “self-study”.
