Biographical / historical:

Warner Max Corden (born 1927) is a white Australian academic and research economist. He is mostly known for his work on the theory of trade protection, including the development of the dutch disease model of international trade.

He emigrated from Nazi Germany to Melbourne in 1939.

He graduated from the University of Melbourne in 1950 and obtained his PhD in economics at the London School of Economics (1956). He subsequently became Nuffield Reader in International Economics and Fellow of Nuffield College at Oxford University, Professor of Economics at the Australian National University from 1977-1988, and a Senior Advisor in the Research Department of the International Monetary Fund from 1986-1988.
