A major focus of the course is on the determinants of currency-exchange rates and the risks business entities face due to fluctuations in exchange rates. Similarly, the class examines the tools companies use to hedge against this risk and describes how basic financial tools can be adjusted to account for exchange-rate expectations and differential tax rates in international project valuation.

  • ECON 3230: Gender Economics

    3.00 Credits
    Southern Utah University

    This course seeks to explain the many roles women play in the economy and how those are different (and similar) to the roles played by men. We begin with the important role inclusiveness plays in the economic growth of a nation. We then move to a discussion of the history and present reality of gender bias. This will be followed by a discussion of the theory of economic discrimination, which will then be applied to the discussion of outcomes observed with respect to education, employment, and wages. The course will then discuss "non-market" outcomes related to the economics of the family. Topics included in this section of the course include marriage and divorce, how household tasks are allocated by women and men, and teen pregnancy.
