Welcome to the Arndt-Corden Department of Economics
The Arndt-Corden Department of Economics works on theoretical and applied problems of international economics and development, with emphasis on the countries of Southeast, Northeast and South Asia, and the Southwest Pacific. The late Professor H.W. Arndt was the first head of the department, and Professor W. Max Corden the second. The work of Heinz Arndt is well-known throughout Asia, especially within Indonesia, whereas Max Corden's fame is greatest among international economists. Both played crucial formative roles in the intellectual history of the Department.
