Economics

Economics

As globalization reshapes the world, how are European economies affected? And what roles do economists play in explaining, forecasting, and advising?

Both Denmark and Sweden punch above their weight in many economic sectors thanks to strong presences and established companies like Novo Nordisk, H&M, Spotify, IKEA, and LEGO. But trade tensions and inequality rise, will they avoid a 'race to the bottom' in their responses to emerging economic challenges compared to the rest of Europe, and to the U.S.?

Analyze and compare how companies, countries, and sectors compete and position themselves in a globalized world through economic theories and contemporary European case studies.

This program is a good fit if you study:

  • Economics
  • Finance
  • Government
  • International Relations
