Survey of openness and growth (for all of you writing about effects of trade liberalization, I found this survey-kind of paper that seems both accessible and useful to see some of the debate on this topic)

See “Remarks for the Final Draft”
·
New deadline for First Draft: Friday 04/04/2008
· In my feedback to some of your topics, I mention stuff “to do”. I meant this to be part of your semester-long work, not necessarily to be included in your assignment 2.
· Check new office hours.
· Just to confirm: New Due date for Assignment 2, Friday February 29
· There was a typo in the syllabus, the correct due date for the next assignment is 02/26/2008. I will have your first assignment graded today 02/19.
· If you submitted a paper to be reviewed please check if your paper appears here
· If your paper does not appear there OR if you are interested in submitting a paper, submit the hardcopy of the paper you got back from your previous instructor at Economics’ front desk (1035 Heller Hall) AND send me an electronic copy please.
