Welcome to the Trade Policy Toolkit, a roundup of content from the Clayton Yeutter Institute of International Trade and Finance. Here, you will find dialogues on numerous facets of international trade to supplement your classroom. Our podcasts and webinars can augment a required reading list, spark discussion in the classroom, or serve as an opportunity to go deeper on an issue. Whether you teach business, economics, agriculture, politics and policy, or global studies, there is something here for you to help your students examine trade’s connection to your subject area — and why it matters.

Podcast | Making trade relatableTrade Matters logo.

Trade Matters breaks down headline issues, under-told stories, and long-standing trends in international trade to make them more relatable and easier to understand. Trade happens largely out of sight; this podcast brings it into focus. Yeutter Institute Director Jill O’Donnell hosts each episode, interviewing guests to illuminate the making of trade policy and its implications. Because trade affects every sector of the economy and overlaps with other policy areas, episodes consider a wide range of topics.

Each webinar features a panel of guests who examine an issue from different perspectives.
