Description:

The new wave of globalizationhas brought international trade issues to the forefront of both economics and society. This course will analyze the causes and consequences of international trade. The theory of international trade and the effects of trade policy tools will be developed in both perfect and imperfect competition, with reference to the empirical evidence. This will allow us to address many essential questions such as the patterns of trade, the welfare impact of trade, and protectionism. The frameworks developed in this course will also serve as a context for a discussion of several important contemporary issues, including the relationship between trade and economic growth, income inequality, the importance of the World Trade Organization, and the effects of free trade agreements.
