Martin Feil is an economist that has spent forty years in the real world of international trade. He is a specialist in industry policy, Customs, Transfer Pricing and Cross border logistics and barriers. He isn’t a fan of economic modeling but can explain how international trade works and what barriers still exist. He has very little patience with people who still rabbit on about tariffs and don’t understand costing from an imports value to a retail price.

The Economic Brumby is a blog with the National Times written by Martin.
