Cases (with teaching notes)
“You Thought
This Was Easy? The U.S.–Thailand Free
Trade Agreement,” (with Christine Davies), UVA-G-0621 and
UVA-G-0621TN This case highlights the intricacies of trade negotiations,
the proliferation of free trade agreements, and the welfare effects of
free trade agreements. The case is written together with a Darden
student who used to work at the USTR under Zoellick.
“Is the World’s Diamond Capital
of the World Losing its Sparkle? Diamond Trading and Cutting in a
Changing Global Economy,” (with Vincent de Koninck), UVA-G-0612 and
UVA-G-0612TN The case shows
how Antwerp gradually loses its
edge in diamond cutting to newcomers such as India. The case lends itself well
for a discussion of comparative advantage.
“The Panic
of 1907,” (with Bob Bruner and Sean Carr), UVA-G-0619 and
UVA-G-0619TN This case merges Darden’s Bruner and Carr’s successful
book, The Panic of 1907: Lessons
Learned from the Market’s Perfect Storm, with the monetary analysis
of A Monetary History of the
United States, 1867–1960 by Friedman and Schwartz to study the
liquidity crisis of 1907 that was linked to a bank run.
“The IMF’s
Coordinated Growth Strategy of 1977/78,” UVA-G-0601 and UVA-G-0601TN The
case lays out the IMF growth strategy for 1977/78 in the aftermath of
the first oil crisis. The case illustrates the very mechanical
Keynesianism from the 1970s, and lends itself to a discussion of the
Phillips curve, and more broadly expectations.
“Fishy
Issues: The U.S. Shrimp Antidumping Case,”
UVA-G-0600 and UVA-G-0600TN The case lays out the circumstances of the
U.S. antidumping case. The case lends itself well for a discussion of
the standard arguments for free trade and the welfare cost of
protectionism.
“Zimbabwe: Grappling with
Hyperinflation,” UVA-G-0599 and UVA-G-0599TN
The case contextualizes the recent
hyperinflation in Zimbabwe, its consequences, i.e. the winners and

is an opportunity to teach
the quantity equation and money demand.
