Description:

Mascarenhas Global Economics provides an introduction to the theories underlying international trade with an emphasis on helping us explain why, what and with whom nations trade. We will analyze various barriers to trade that nations erect, with a particular emphasis on the redistributive effects of trade and trade barriers. The course will cover the interplay between politics and economics in a range of different issue areas, including the international trading system (GATT, WTO, etc.) and attempts at regional economic integration (the European Union, NAFTA). The theoretical models will be used to analyze topics making headlines like labor standards, environment and off-shoring. Prerequisites: Economics 307.
