Overview

What you will study

The Understanding Global Markets - Macroeconomics for Executives course offered by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is designed to help business leaders better understand monetary policy and central bank decision making, and how these factors impact the countries in which they operate. This popular course explores international monetary policy and how the economies across Europe, Asia, and the United States affect one another, especially in times of crises.

Participants in this course gain a deeper understanding of how central banks function, the dynamics of comparative advantage, how contagion occurs, sources of international conflict, and the varied responses of economies to crisis. Executives leave the program with a better understanding of the current global economic environment, its future, its effects on their companies over the mid to long term, and how to assess and navigate macroeconomic challenges.
