Johns Hopkins: Thirteen Years in Washington DC

Warner Corden

Chapter 16 in Lucky Boy in the Lucky Country, 2017, pp 187-201 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract I had been 13 years at the School of Advanced International Studies and really enjoyed both the Washington DC environment and teaching to most interesting and likeable students. I gave many lectures and attended many conferences outside SAIS, met plenty of interesting people (not just economists but also political and international-relations operatives). I benefited personally from the reputation I had acquired from having written in earlier years readable books and articles on important subjects. There was one major preoccupation evident in this chapter: the World Bank Project. I was co-author in a team led by Ian Little of an ambitious study of the macroeconomic policies and experiences of 18 developing countries. Perhaps it was too ambitious? My particular responsibility was for the study of exchange rate policies and experiences. This gave me knowledge or material for new books, articles and numerous lectures.
