About the Course

Policies concerning international trade have been for decades, and continue to be, the subject of active debate by both academics and the general public. More recently issues such as EU restrictions on exports of footwear from China, and developed countries protection of their agricultural industries, have been contentious. To understand and inform such debates we must have an understanding of the development of international trade theory. This course aims to provide you with such an understanding. By the end of this course this should allow you to be able to critically analyse a variety of trade policies.

Syllabus

The first part of this course will examine international trade theory, beginning with the Ricardian model which was developed by the English political economist in the early 1800s. This model simplistically assumes only one factor of production, labour, and finds that trade takes place according to comparative advantage. We will then turn to consider the more sophisticated Heckscher-Ohlin uk term paper model which considers two factors of production and illustrates that particular factors of production made be hurt by trade, although similar to Ricardo finds overall that there are gains from trade. These neo-classical models have then been extended to consider economies of scale, imperfect competition, technological change and the relationship between growth and trade.

The second part of the courses examines trade policy. Alternative forms of ‘old’ and ‘new’ protectionism and the implications of tariffs, subsidies, quantitative restrictions, international cartels, voluntary export restraints and other non-tariff barriers are reviewed. The economics of integration is discussed in its various forms ranging from preference areas to full economic integration, with particular emphasis on the theory and development of custom unions and the EU single market.
