Michael Plummer is a resident faculty member at SAIS Bologna and does some heavy lifting in the Economics Department.
Many incoming students this year will be studying Microeconomics with him in Pre-term. In the fall semester he'll be teaching both International Trade and International Monetary Theory. Then in the spring, in addition to Trade he'll be teaching Asian Economic Development.
Prof. Plummer studied at SAIS Bologna before getting his Ph.D at Michigan State University. In May he spoke to us about his latest publication, the Oxford Handbook of International Commercial Policy.
