    Information

    Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

    This course offers a rigorous introduction to international trade at the graduate level, emphasizing both theoretical models and empirical evidence. The first part of the course will be structured as a lecture. We will discuss the core models of modern international trade theory. We will first study neoclassical trade models, i.e., the Ricardian- (Eaton-Kortum) and Heckscher-Ohlin models, and then move to trade models with imperfect competition. Particular emphasis will be given to models with firm-level heterogeneity. Time permitting, we will also discuss theories of multinational firms, offshoring and global value chains, the labor market consequences of international trade and trade policy.

    The second part of the course will be organized as a seminar: students will present papers at the research frontier.
