International economics has long been a field with restricted entry. Entry has been restricted by such devices as “offer curves,” for which only the initiated know which is whose, but also by the sheer variety of models and effects that appear much more abundant than in other areas of applied economics. – by Robert Mundell

I am so lucky and proud to be perhaps the last generation of international economists to be trained and to have worked on all three areas: international macroeconomics, international finance, and international trade.
