Terms of Trade Gossary of International Economics



Have you ever wondered about the meaning of a word, a phrase, or an acronym in international economics? I often do. So I have looked them up, written their definitions, and listed these in a glossary that I have assembled over the last several years on my web site. With that I have frequently been able to refresh my own failing memory, since having written the definitions, I often forget them. I originally thought I was doing this for my students, both undergraduate and graduate, and I know that at least some of them have made use of it. So have others, all over the world, judging from the feedback that they have given me electronically. And so can you, if you need to.
This volume puts on paper what until now has been only on the web. I expect that some people will find it more useful, but others less useful, than the web version, which I will continue to maintain, although the information currently online — some from as early as 2000 — has been updated here to 2006. On the web you can click on terms that are defined elsewhere on the site, and of course you can't do that here. But such terms are indicated with page references to tell you that, and where, they are defined. Much as we are all attached to our computers these days, many of us still take comfort from using a book, and even I expect to keep this one beside me often, as I read both news and scholarship about international economics.
