International Trade Certification

International trade is increasingly becoming a discipline of economics that stock traders and investors need to know as the proliferation of global ETFs continue to hit the marketplace.

Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok offer a course on International Trade through the online MRUniversity supported by George Mason University.
