Interesting and broad coverage of topics related to trade and investment, although the part on the effects of trade and FDI on other variables of interest was way too shallow. Moreover, the difficulty level throughout the course, including the final assignment, is inconsistent: varying between too simplistic and unrealistic. Often, some short complementary information is missing to "round up" a topic or thought. The teaching materials are not harmonised. Particularly, the readings are not suitable as they often do not relate to the previous video and do not have questions associated with them. A complete PhD thesis without any further comments or instructions is not a suitable teaching material for such a course. The self-written texts often have basic errors in them, which have not been corrected, although the course is now already several years old. Instructors do not react to posts in the forums and do not seem to follow the course anymore.

I have done 4-5 MOOCs and without exception Erasmus University's courses are the only ones that demand and push you into expending serious mental and intellectual rigor. Erasmus Uni's courses make you truly apply what you learnt. This one is also extremely interesting. The course in itself is less longer than what is indicated but the assignment takes time and requires you to

A very rigorous course but rewarding at the same time. Course content,design and presentation are excellent. Commitment is the key to finish the course.

It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to connect economic theory with practical, impactful trade strategies!

Top class. I recommend it to anyone studying on the subject trade, investment or evidence-based policy

THE COURSE IS VERY INFORMATIVE AND GIVES THE TRUE PICTURE OF TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT
