home improvement design: Research Fields in Modern Economics

I received my Ph.D in 1993. I went back to my university's webpage to learn about their current Ph.D program. I found this webpage and was slightly surprised to see the following fields are not listed; public finance, labor economics, urban economics, economic history, environmental economics, and micro international trade. As someone who has published in all of these fields, I have "voted with my feet" that I believe that these are fascinating areas but my past teachers clearly disagree with me.

What fields are offered?
