This is a syllabus from one of my recent International Finance
courses taught at the George Washington University. Econ 182 is
an undergraduate level course taken by many Economics, International
Affairs and Business students. Included are the list of readings
for each session, links to external reading sources and problems
sets. Answer keys to the problem sets are for sale in PDF form at
the Download Center.
About the Site
This site was designed to make information about international
economics accessible for all who are interested. I believe that
economic principles and ideas can be easily understood by most people.
However, effective teaching of these principles does not require
thowing away the difficult economic models or theories. Instead
it is important to understand the reasons why economists use the
tools that they do (models, graphs, equations etc.) and be forthright
about their limitations. I have tried to do this for my students,
with some success. This site contains many of these lessons. I hope
you will find them useful and effective.
