Hi, welcome to my home page. I am a professor of economics at the University of Colorado at Boulder. My principal interests are in the field of international trade. My research for the last 20 years has concentrated on the location, production, and welfare effects of large-scale firms and multinational corporations. I have worked both on theoretical models and numerical, computer simulation models. Many years of work researching multinational firms culminated in a book on the role of multinationals in the international economy, and was published by the MIT press in the summer of 2002. I am sure that you will want several copies at least.
