Advanced International Trade

Theory and Evidence - Second Edition

About this book

Trade is a cornerstone concept in economics worldwide. This updated second edition of the essential graduate textbook in international trade brings readers to the forefront of knowledge in the field and prepares students to undertake their own research. In Advanced International Trade, Robert Feenstra integrates the most current theoretical approaches with empirical evidence, and these materials are supplemented in each chapter by theoretical and empirical exercises.

Feenstra explores a wealth of material, such as the Ricardian and Heckscher-Ohlin models, extensions to many goods and factors, and the role of tariffs, quotas, and other trade policies. He examines imperfect competition, offshoring, political economy, multinationals, endogenous growth, the gravity equation, and the organization of the firm in international trade. Feenstra also includes a new chapter on monopolistic competition with heterogeneous firms, with many applications of that model. In addition to known results, the book looks at some particularly important unpublished results by various authors. Two appendices draw on index numbers and discrete choice models to describe methods applicable to research problems in international trade.

Completely revised with the latest developments and brand-new materials, Advanced International Trade is a classic textbook that will be used widely by students and practitioners of economics for a long time to come.

  • Updated second edition of the essential graduate textbook
  • Current approaches and a new chapter on monopolistic competition with heterogeneous firms
  • Supplementary materials in each chapter
  • Theoretical and empirical exercises

Suppose 
that 
there 
are 
two 
outputs, 
nontraded 
good 
1 
and 
traded 
good 
2, 
and 
three 
inputs: 
labor, 
capital, 
and 
imported 
inputs. 
Assume 
that 
the 
cost-share 
of 
labor 
is 
higher 
in 
good 
1 
and 
the 
cost-share 
of 
capital 
is
