The course starts with an introduction to the history of the European Union. After that we deal with microeconomic aspects of European integration, especially considering the impact of the EU as a customs union and with the further integration to a common market. We then proceed to macroeconomic aspects, in particular the implications of the Euro as a joint currency. Based on this, we discuss the international financial crisis of 2008 and the following Euro crisis as well as other recent EU events as the unfolding of the Brexit.

You will find the timetable, as well as all lecture and exercise records on ILIAS.
