Globalization, Economic Growth and Stability from IE Business School
The program includes six learning sessions that focus on distinct aspects of the circular economy, such as Introduction to Sustainability, Building a Sustainable Organization, Driving Innovation via Impactful Solutions, and others. Throughout the classes, you'll learn through high-quality video lectures, live webinars with Cambridge Judge experts, and practice assignments. After completing the program, you will be able to explain the characteristics of sustainable finance as well as learn how to measure the impact of investments.
This Specialization seeks to make economic ideas understandable to all learners and to educate them how to assess current events using the economics toolbox. It starts by describing the basic macroeconomic factors and how governments can/should utilize fiscal and monetary policy to influence growth, inflation, and employment. It then moves on to the international arena, where countries interact, explaining the fundamental principles of free trade, exchange rates, the balance of payments, and immigration, as well as how these interactions affect their daily lives. Finally, learners will apply these tools and concepts to the world's leading economies and discover how they can "read" important lessons about the risks and opportunities of doing business in these countries from economic data, providing them with tools to use in the workplace and even in personal investment decisions.
A capstone project is located at the end of each MOOC. You will have the opportunity to put all you learnt during the course into practice. You must examine the best economic indicators for a given country and produce a summary of that country's best economic policy trends and milestones. In addition, you must link the macroeconomic indicators to the policies taken by governments in each case and determine whether or not the policy was appropriate. Finally, you will explain your findings and underline the potential implications of failing to execute the appropriate policy.
