Skrócony opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) The lecture aims to present key elements neoclassical and modern trade theories and explain how they can explain different types of trade flows. The lecture is also intended to analyze the economic implications of the main instruments of trade policy. The lecture is based on microeconomic foundations and covers issues related to international trade theory and trade policy. In this class, both neoclassical and new trade theories will be discussed. The effects of the functioning of main trade policy instruments in the perfect and imperfect competition framework will also be shown. |
