Patrick Conway's cases.
I have two sets of cases to recommend to you. The first set has an international economics focus:
The second set is a series of cases I use with introductory
undergraduates. They form the basis of a course I teach entitled
The Economics of North
Carolina. It is focused upon seven "cases" of the North Carolina
economy. Even if you aren't from this neighborhood, you may find one of
the cases of use.
This site provides a useful starting point for economists wishing to acquire data and information through the internet. There is no discussion of case studies, but a tremendous quantity of resources useful for student activity. See, especially, Teaching Resources in the menu.
This site provides a wealth of information on case method instruction, especially for those topics most germane to questions of economic development. Some of the cases are in fact available for downloading directly from that page.
A collection of cases of use in public policy discussions.
Many of these cases have a European flavor -- as if you didn't know.
An excellent collection of cases in economics and public policy.
The original, and unsurpassed, source for cases in business administration.
This collection is heavily weighted toward examples of diplomacy and negotiation, but there are some good cases for international economic questions.
