Handouts for Economics 340

International Economics

Not all handouts will be here, and not everything here will be physically handed out in class, since if it is here you can get it. If any of the items are not online, they will be handed out in class, and extras will be in the box outside my office, 458 Lorch.

The column headed "Required?" indicates whether the item is required or not. You should be sure to look at those that are Required since, like material in lecture and on the syllabus, they may be covered on exams. Others are only Recommended, which means that I will not ask questions directly based on them, but they may be useful in helping you to understand concepts from readings and/or lectures. Still others are Optional and are just there in case you want to read beyond what is covered in the course. Some of the documents are Adobe .pdf files and must be viewed with the Adobe Acrobat viewer. Click here if you need help with that.
