Abstract

This course analyzes the causes and consequences of international trade and investment. The structure of the course follows Feenstra and Taylor textbook (FT, see reference below). We will also use material from the Krugman, Melitz, Obstfeld textbook.

Learning Objectives

Students will learn why nations trade, what they trade, and who gains from this trade. We examine the role played by multinational firms. We then analyze the motives for countries or organizations to restrict or regulate international trade and study the effects of such policies on economic welfare.

Expected Learning Outcomes

Explain how the modern models of international economics are developed and used to study the relevant economic questions.
Know how to apply modern concepts to better understand the problems international economists study: the structure and volume of trade flows, gains from trade, trade policy issues.
