Handouts for Economics 340

International Economics

Not all handouts are here, and not everything here will be handed out in class, since if it is here you can get it. Items that are not online will be handed out in class, and extras will be in the box outside my office, 458 Lorch. The column headed "Req?" 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 helpful in exams.
