ECOP6012: Country Risk Analysis
The sources of volatility and disruption to social provisioning are an ever-present concern for policymakers, firms, and households. In this unit, you will be introduced to an overview of social provisioning at the level of macroaggregates before drilling down into the sectors of the capitalist economy to understand where and why vulnerabilities emerge, and ruptures occur. You will learn a diverse range of methods and techniques for assessing the facets of country risk (eg economic risk, financial risk, sovereign (default) risk, socio-political risk) and the opportunity to conduct an assessment for a country of your interest.
