approach |

This course offers a detailed introduction to international
economics. We study several trade theories with the goal of
explaining why international trade takes place, what are the
benefits of international trade, and in what patterns countries
trade with each other. We also study trade policy tools and their
implications for market equilibrium (prices and quantities), social
welfare (gross national product) and the distribution of welfare
(inequality).

| This course comprises the following feedback
activities. First, the teacher provides written solutions to all
online activities and exercise classes designed to help you figure
out the solutions by yourself. Two, during exercise classes the
teaching assistants will go through the solutions in detail,
focusing on the problems that you raise in class. Third, the mock
exam will be reviewed/discussed in class by the teaching
assistants. Last, you can book a slot during my online office hours
