A number of trade models will be constructed; some are based on assumptions of perfect competition whereas others are based on assumptions of imperfect competition. Throughout the course, the emphasis is on the different theoretical approaches that have been taken to explain various aspects of international trade, but historical and contemporary events will often be used to illustrate the theory.   2218 visits has been made through our site.     International Trade Policy by Princeton University   URL: http://www.wws.princeton.edu/~wws543/   The objective of this course is to provide students with the ability to analyze policy issues related to international trade. We will focus on the following themes:1.Why do countries trade? Who gains and who loses from international trade? 2.The economic effects of trade policies: import tariffs, non-tariff barriers, export subsidies. 3.Old and new arguments for trade intervention: infant-industry arguments, strategic trade policies, protection for declining industries, anti-dumping policies. 4.The political economy of trade policy. 5.Multilateral and regional trade agreements. We will also focus on four case studies, which we will discuss in class. Tentatively, the case studies will be on: (a) export policies for the aircraft industry in the U.S. and the E.U.; (b) textiles and the Multi-Fiber Agreement; (c) the semiconductor industry and the U.S.-Japan trade dispute; (d) the WTO dispute on banana trade. In addition, we will address several topical policy issues. This will be done by teamwork. Each team will analyze a specific issue, write a report and present it in class. The topics will be chosen from the following menu: i.Trade and the environment: Is there a conflict? ii.Do trading blocks help or hurt the cause of global trade liberalization? iii.To what extent has international trade been responsible for the recent increase of income inequality in the U.S.? iv.Is the U.S. likely to gain or to lose from a strengthening of the WTO's Dispute Settlement Mechanism? What can we learn from the history of trade disputes? v.Should western countries restrict imports from less developed countries that do not respect workers' rights? vi.An emerging issue: The need of international cooperation on competition policies. vii.Should trade agreements be based on rules or outcomes? The U.S.-Japan agreements in electronics and semiconductors. viii.The implications of the Asian crisis for international trade relations.   1477 visits has been made through our site.     International Trade Theory and Policy Analysis by George Washington University   URL: http://internationalecon.com/v1.0/tradesyllabus1.html   This course is for a one semester intermediate level course in international trade.

Students should have a familiarity with algebra and the use of graphical analysis. A knowledge of calculus is useful, but not necessary. The main part of the course will focus on the traditional theories of international trade (Ricardian, Hecksher-Ohlin) and commercial policies (tariffs and quotas). However, considerable attention will be devoted to the more recent literature on imperfect competition and strategic behavior in international trade. Topical issues, such as political influences (lobbying for protection), industrial policy and economic integration (NAFTA, European Union) will also be addressed.   1082 visits has been made through our site.     International Trade by Georgetown University   URL: http://www.law.georgetown.edu/faculty/courseware/jackson-j/i......   This course is designed to introduce the student to the legal system governing international economic transactions and international economic relations, particularly centered on the GATT - General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, now the WTO - World Trade Organization, the most significant institution for international trade relations. With the growing economic interdependence of the world, understanding this system is becoming increasingly important. More U.S. manufactures and agriculture products are being exported. With as much as 50 percent (or more) of profits of some major U.S. corporations coming from transactions across or outside U.S. borders, it does not seem extravagant to suggest that in the next few decades a very high percentage of lawyers, will encounter problems of the sort which require an understanding of the role of law (or lack of law) in international affairs. The 1994 completion of the Uruguay Round of GATT negotiations (started in September 1986), as well as the 1992 completion of the North American Free Trade Agreement, only reinforce this prediction. Discussions have already begun which are likely to lead to major new trade negotiations during the next several years. The basic objective of this course is to give the student a rounded overview of the world trading system, with some experience in particular details. The course encourages an understanding of the system through the study and analysis of original materials in a systematic way, designed for students who may practice in the subject area (either in private firms or government positions), or for students who would like to have an understanding of the system for personal, scholarly or leadership reasons. During the Fall of 1998, we will continue to give considerable attention to the new WTO and the Uruguay Round of GATT negotiations and the implementation of its results. The final intense negotiations of the Uruguay Round occurred in December 1993, in order to meet the December 15th deadline necessary for the U.S. fast-track legislative procedure. However, many details continued to be negotiated during the next few months until April 15. On that date at Marrakesh, Morocco, a Ministerial Meeting of the GATT adopted the "Final Act". 111 individual nations signed this Final Act, all but about 21 doing so "ad referendum" (subject to national government ratification.) 125 countries have participated in the Uruguay Round. The Uruguay Round Agreement has now been formally accepted by 132 nations including the U.S., E.U., Japan, etc. The new "WTO" (World Trade Organization) came into being January 1, 1995. We can now begin to appraise its development by examining its first 3-1/2 years of operation. This course will consist basically of three (3) parts. The first part (Casebook chapters 1 through 7, about five or six weeks) will focus on the fundamental constitutional and institutional legal problems. The second part of the course (chapters 8-19 of the Casebook) will be devoted to studies in greater depth of certain important trade and economic subjects. Finally, remaining chapters of the Casebook include various optional topics, from which a small selection may be made for this course if time permits later in the semester. (There are many such subjects which could merit many class hours each, but obviously this amount of time is not available. Consequently, a selection will have to be made; suggestions from students are welcome, and there is some flexibility in the content of the latter part of this course as to which subjects we could take up.)There is no way to keep course materials in this subject completely up-to-date, since new developments occur almost daily. Supplementary materials will help. However, it will always be necessary to present a certain amount of material not available in published works by lecture. When possible, outside experts will be utilized as guest speakers. Although the subject of international trade law, in the context of the WTO and its antecedents, is intrinsically very important, students should realize that the importance of that evolution and future development goes well beyond the border lines of the WTO subject matter (vast as it is). An understanding of the fundamental principles which are at the basis of the WTO trading system, such as the principle of trade liberalization in the context of legal institutions that promote a "rule-oriented" atmosphere for private and public traders, is profoundly significant. This and other principles in the context of the elaborate institutional structure now imposed by the WTO (including an appellate process for dispute settlement) can be looked on as a "case study" in international law regulation, particularly regulation of the extremely important and broad fields of economic activity and economic relations. The principles of this "case study", are often suggested for application to subject matters other than those currently considered within the WTO trading system. Indeed, some of the possible future subjects for WTO competence, such as competition law, or labor standards, or further environmental and trade issues, have been raised as candidates for further application of the WTO institutional principles. It appears reasonable to suggest that the principles of the world trading system and its institutions will be looked to for an increasingly wider variety of international cooperation needed for almost any area of economic activity which involves activity that crosses borders.   1002 visits has been made through our site.     International Trade Theory by University of Copenhagen   URL: http://www.econ.ku.dk/polit/Fag/Engelskefag/engfag15.htm   This course focuses on the overview of international trade theory, classical trade theory, welfare aspects of international trade theory, international trade with fixed prices, international trade and growth, modern trade theory, uncertainty and international trade theory and current issues.   935 visits has been made through our site.     International Trade, Economics by University of Michigan   URL: http://webuser.bus.umich.edu/gohanson/econ/econ-441.htm   This is an advanced undergraduate course on International Trade.

The first couple weeks will be a review of traditional trade theory at (hopefully) a more rigorous level than you have been exposed to before, both at the theoretical level and with an eye toward testing the traditional trade results. This will be followed by examining more recent trade theory, including introduction of imperfect competition, multinational firms and intraindustry trade into models of trade. The last half of the seminar will examine trade policies, including tariffs, quotas, voluntary export restraint agreements, export subsidies, and antidumping and countervailing duties. As with the entire class, we will examine these policies both theoretically and empirically.   785 visits has been made through our site.     INTERNATIONAL TRADE by St. Norbert College   URL: http://www.snc.edu/econ/ec376/   The course provides an analytical framework to study trade among countries. Starting with traditional theories that explain why nations trade with each other, we shall go on to look at some of the more recent developments in the field. Drawing on microeconomic principles, we shall see how a country gains from trade. Furthermore, we will examine how trade affects various sectors of the economy. The role played by governments in affecting trade will be studied under the rubric of trade policy. We will look critically at the reasons for government intervention; in particular, the use of import tariffs as a means of restricting trade will be analyzed in some detail. As countries in Eastern Europe, Latin America and Asia move towards trade liberalization, multilateral negotiations carried out under the auspices of WTO acquire special significance; we shall, therefore, examine how such agreements serve to foster world trade.   782 visits has been made through our site.     INTERNATIONAL TRADE POLICY AND LAW by KDI   URL: http://203.247.188.14/faculty/faculty_number/english/rectabl......   This course deals with new developments in the world trading system, especially concerning the WTO.

By the end of the course, students should have a good understanding of the fundamentals of global economics. They should be able to use the associated skills to analyze critically world events. The course is also a core course in the major and minor in international business programs at UNF. In order to be able to analyze international economic topics, we will spend some time trying to understand economic ideas and theories as they apply to open economies. Since all students in this course must have completed ECO 2023 Principles of Microeconomics, the basic concepts from that course will be assumed. We will study international economic theories and use their insights to analyze the important and interesting international economic issues of today. Please see me any time during the semester if you are having difficulty with economic ideas. The course provides an overview of international economics by introducing such topics as the reasons for trade among countries, trade liberalization, exchange rates, problems of developing countries, etc. On the first day of class, you will be asked to pose a few questions that you have about international economics. Any topics of special interest to a large portion of the class will be covered in class and/or readings.   731 visits has been made through our site.     International Trade POlicy by Monash University   URL: http://www-personal.buseco.monash.edu.au/~tombazos/   Topics include the gains and costs of trading internationally; static and dynamic welfare effects of protection; the political economy of international trade policy; optimum policies in the presence of market power, uncertainty, and other market imperfections; trade policy instruments; the interactions of trade policy and environmental policy; strategies for trade liberalisation including regional trade agreements.   729 visits has been made through our site.     ADVANCED INTERNATIONAL TRADE THEORY AND POLICY by The Pennsylvania State University   URL: http://econ.la.psu.edu/~kkrishna/econ433/syllabus.html   This course is designed to provide an understanding of international trade and policy, and to serve as a relatively non technical introduction to research in the area.

We will begin by looking at simple models where production technology differs between two partners. Then models that encompass several factors of production will be examined. The effects of amounts of capital and labor will also be explored. Finally, we will study the effects of tariffs on the standard of living within countries. These topics will be covered in the first half of the course and are generally referred to as ‘real’ determinants of trade. The second half of the course will introduce money and exchange rates. We will explore how money may confound or work in the same direction as the ‘real’ determinants. In this second part we will look at the Mundell-Fleming framework, Purchasing Power Parity and Interest Rate Parities.   691 visits has been made through our site.     International Trade by UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO   URL: http://www.colorado.edu/Economics/courses/fall2000-6413-001.......   The Course Outline given below lists the major topics we will deal with in this course.

Using these basic tools in the second part of course, an overview of trade policy: tariffs, quotas, and other forms of intervention is presented. Overall, this framework provides the essential analytical tools to discuss contemporary international trade issues and international economic policies from protection is in and industrial policy formation to NAFTA and regional trade blocs. From first part of this course, each student completing this course should be able to answer the "four trade questions": (1) "Why do countries trade?", (2) "How does trade affect production and consumption in each country?", (3) "Which country gains from trade?", and (4) "Within each country, who are the gainers and losers from opening trade?". Based upon the answers to these questions, from second part of course, each student should be able to critique basic intervention strategies (tariffs, quotas, voluntary export restraints) and provide pre- and post-intervention welfare analysis.   666 visits has been made through our site.     International Trade Issues by Georgetown University   URL: http://www.shoyer.com/andy/   This course focuses on the details of evolving international trade law and practice from the viewpoint of a practitioner (government, business, labor union, environmental organization, media, etc.) The course covers the basic elements of modern-day trade policy including MFN and national treatment, trade remedy rules, the World Trade Organization, regional or subregional free trade agreements, services, investment, IPR and linkage between trade and social issues. The first part of the semester will cover trade law and regulations such as dumping, origin rules and dispute settlement procedures.

Equipped with those, current policy questions are analyzed as they are discussed in the economic press. The first and somewhat larger part of the course will deal with the real part of international economics: trade. Key issues there are: Why do countries trade? The Gains from Trade, The Pattern of Trade and Factor Movements, Trade Policy and Protectionism. When we turn to the monetary part in the second half, the questions will be: What influences the Balance of Payments? How are exchange rates determined? How does the functioning of capital markets affect the choice of exchange rate regimes?

One set of questions focuses on fluctuations in output, employment, nominal and real exchange rates, and the balance of payments, among other variables, in the short to medium-run. Another set of questions focuses on determination of the composition of output, the terms of trade, and the location of production, among other variables, in the long-run. While the questions are interrelated, economists have found it useful to study them using different tools characterizing different sub-fields. The former set of questions is traditionally the domain of open-economy macroeconomics. The latter set is the domain of international trade theory -- and they are the questions we will address in this class. More specifically, in this class we will inquire: Why do nations trade? What determines the pattern of trade and the distribution of the gains from trade? How do trade barriers affect the composition of output and the rewards to different factors of production? What is the economic rationale of trade barriers, particularly for developing countries? What are the advantages and disadvantages of preferential trade areas, as well as common markets and customs unions? Why, and to where, do productive factors migrate? What is the political rationale of trade barriers? Finally, what is the relationship between international trade and economic growth in the trading countries?   624 visits has been made through our site.     International Policy, Laws and Regulations in International Trade by DePaul University   URL: http://www.lifelearn.depaul.edu/kamal/KamalMBAsyllabus.htm   This course will explore the leading edge changes impacting international business and trade via video conferencing from United Nations headquarters in New York City. Students will explore how international policy and negotiated laws and regulations are formed and implemented with other nations. The course will examine the importance of international organizations and multilateral trade and financial transactions, and the growth and implementation of international laws. Specific global issues will also be explored, such as peace and security and disarmament, economic development, human rights, the environment, etc., with a view to assessing their impact on private business.   620 visits has been made through our site.     GLOBALISATION AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW by European University Institute   URL: http://www.iue.it/LAW/globalisation/   This seminar examines selected aspects of the relationship between the globalization and international trade law. It focuses on trade between the European Union (EU) and the People's Republic of China (PRC), taking into account EU membership and likely PRC membership of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The first purpose of this course is to examine selected aspects of the international trade law of the EU and the PRC within their broader setting. This is basically a comparative law exercise. It is intended to help us to understand how two radically different political and legal systems manage relations between them, and also how each manages the overlap between the shared international arena and its own domestic arena. The second purpose is to consider whether the way globalization is governed leads to the convergence of legal systems, and, if so, how and to what extent. This refers to the current governance of globalization through forms of global legal pluralism, including multi-level governance. This dimension is designed to shed light on the role of the WTO in regulating international trade and its likely effects on current or future WTO members.   619 visits has been made through our site.     International Trade by Illinois Institute of Technology   URL: http://www.stuart.iit.edu/courses/ib515/winter/   THIS COURSE FOCUSES ON TRADE MODELS,ECONOMIES OF SCALE, IMPERFECT COMPETITION, TRADE POLICY, NATIONAL INCOME AND THE BALANCE OF PAYMENTS, MONEY, INTEREST RATES AND EXCHANGE RATES,PRICE LEVELS AND EXCHANGE RATES IN THE LONG RUN,THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY SYSTEM, FLOATING EXCHANGE RATES, THE GLOBAL CAPITAL MARKET.   609 visits has been made through our site.     International Trade by OSWEGO-State University of New York   URL: http://www.oswego.edu/~atri/eco344main.html   Topics covered in this course include: comparative advantage, gains from trade in the classical and neoclassical models, distributional consequences of trade, and alternative explanations for trade.This course also provides an analysis of commercial policy (tariffs, quotas, and other forms of intervention) and preferential trading arrangements (such as free trade areas, customs unions, and economic unions).   607 visits has been made through our site.     International Trade and Finance by Whitworth College   URL: http://www.whitworth.edu/Academic/Department/Economics&Busin......   This course aim at developing an appreciation and understanding of trade and financial relations among nations, the ability to use a set of theoretical tools that will assist the international professional or business person to make better decisions related to the global economic environment and analyze and interpret international trade and finance data.   603 visits has been made through our site.     International Trade by Trent University   URL: http://www.trentu.ca/economics/311/311.html   This course focuses on Labour Productivity and Comparative Advantage, Specific Factors and Income Distribution, Resources and Trade: The Heckscher-Ohlin Model The Standard Trade Model,Economies of Scale, Imperfect Competition, and International Trade International Factor Movements, the instrument and political economy of trade policy, Trade Policy in Developing Countries and Strategic Trade Policies in Advanced Countries   602 visits has been made through our site.     International Trade and Payments Theory by University of Minnesota   URL: http://www.econ.umn.edu/~tkehoe/classes/8401.html   The topics in this course are included 1.

As the economy moves closer and closer towards globalization, and political activities such as GATT and NAFTA take center stage, it is important that we understand why it is that these agreements can be considered so vital. The overall class structure will be flexible, though there are a set number of topics that we must cover. Economics is best learned through examples (hundreds of them), and the approach to topics taken in lecture may be different than that seen in the book. Though the two will complement each other, it is important that you take full advantage of both formats.   576 visits has been made through our site.     © 2000 The Chinese University of Hong Kong
