ECO 745 International Trade
The subject of this course is the theory, policy, political economy and history of the international organization of trade. Mainstream international trade theory is based mainly on microeconomic tools of analysis. The field of international trade ranges from abstract theoretical modeling to policy controversies. In this course we will examine both—we will take care to explore neoclassical and heterodox trade theory, while also paying attention to important empirical, political economy and policy issues.
