Introduction
Our September Summer School gives you the opportunity to complete advanced economics courses taught by internationally renowned economists, whilst immersing yourself in the unique learning experience Oxford provides.
Not only that, but our Summer School stands out from the crowd by allowing you to create your own tailor-made learning experience. When you apply you will have the option to select courses in Applied Microeconomics, Macroeconomics or Econometrics; so you can choose morning and afternoon sessions from two different disciplines, or focus on a single field of interest. This allows you to create a tailored learning experience that ensures you get the most out of your time in Oxford.
Afternoon Course
8-12 September 2025
This course provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges faced by policymakers in dealing with international financial shocks, and the evidence on the dilemma vs. trilemma debate. It covers a range of topics including a model for international financial shock transmission, the Euro Area's current account imbalances and debt crisis, and the impact of capital flows on inequality.
