Contenu du cours
This course covers the most important contributions in the field of international trade, both from a theoretical and empirical perspective. This will allow students to learn and think critically about various issues related to globalization that are central to the current policy debate: Why do countries open up their economies to trade? What explains the patterns and volume of trade between countries? What happens when a country increases tariffs or exits a customs union? Which type of firms tend to export? Why multinational firms have become so important? What are the implications of trade for workers and the environment?
