Hi. I'm Steve Suranovic, an Associate Professor of Economics and International Affairs at The George Washington University in Washington D.C. I teach international economics to undergraduate and graduate students at GW and at the Cornell University in Washington program.

I have designed this site to make information about international economics accessible for anyone who is interested. I have long believed that economic principles and ideas can be easily grasped by most people. To teach these principles effectively, however, does not mean thowing away the difficult economic models or theories. Instead one must clearly present 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.
