Title: The International Economics Network
URL: http://www.internationaleconomics.net
Descriptive Note: The International Economics Network is an annotated, selective portal for international economics and related disciplines, which includes regularly updated links to research papers, news and commentaries in the field.
The main contributions of the site are threefold: First, the links section provides an annotated list of key sites in international economics, as well as some other related fields. These include sites that range from content-driven sites in international trade and finance, to major think-tanks and research centers in the field, to international economists' homepages. Second, the research papers section links to a list of recent working papers as well as seminal papers in the field, all organized topically. Third, the news and commentaries section provides related news, op-eds, and commentaries, updated on a regular basis.
The site will be of value to both graduate and undergraduate students with a special interest in international economics, as well as instructors. For graduate students, the collection and categorization of research papers serves as a useful stimulus for motivating their personal studies and research. For undergraduates, the constantly updated news section provides links to Web resources that can help concretize classroom theories; advanced undergraduates may also find the seminal papers collected under the research section useful. Finally, instructors can incorporate Web content into their classroom by directing students to the annotated portal pages relevant to their particular topic.
The portal is maintained by Jamus Jerome Lim, a graduate student of the international economics program at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
