Chapter 15: Comparative Advantage and Protectionism

The World Bank (www.worldbank.org) has information on its programs and publications at its site, as does the International Monetary Fund, or IMF (www.imf.org). The United Nations website has links to most international institutions and their databases (www.unsystem.org). Another good source of information about high-income countries is the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development or OECD (www.oecd.org/home/). U.S. trade data are available at www.census.gov.

You can find information on many countries through their statistical offices. A compendium of national agencies is available at www.census.gov/main/www/stat_int.html.

One of the best sources for policy writing on international economics is www.iie.com/homepage.htm, the website of the Institute for International Economics.
