Emerging economies will likely provide substantial growth opportunities for global investors. But the risks of investing in these economies are not only substantial but also different from those in developed economies. The objective of this introductory course on emerging markets is to provide students with a basic conceptual framework and practical knowledge regarding investments in emerging markets. The unit of analysis of the course ranges from countries to multinational and domestic companies in emerging markets. The course deals with macroeconomics, but also focuses on the unique political and institutional context in emerging and frontier markets. The course consists of four interrelated modules that affect growth and business opportunities in emerging markets.
First module helps to understand the process of economic growth and development, and in so doing develop the ability to analyze an emerging market at the level of the country.
Second module concerns institutional context of investment decisions in emerging markets.
In third module, we will examine companies working in emerging markets and how they must manage investment risks as well as develop strategies to overcome the institutional weaknesses of the environment.
Finally, in fourth module, we will have four round tables where students will present their individual reports on chosen emerging countries and will be asked to take the perspective of different decision-makers, such as politicians, investors, and managers.
