The course is designed to provide some basic theoretical tools for students who have not taken International Economics in their first degree. The course focuses on the reasons that explain trade patterns between countries and the gains and losses from trade. The main instruments of trade policy are analysed, the costs and benefits of protectionist trade policies are assessed, and the political economy of trade policy is discussed. A thorough review of microeconomic theories of the consumer and the firm is strongly recommended before the course.
