International Trade Theory and Policy

Abstract

There is no lack of good international economics textbooks ranging from the elementary to the advanced, so that an additional drop in this ocean calls for an explanation. In the present writer’s opinion, there seems still to be room for a textbook which can be used in both undergraduate and graduate courses and which contains a wide range of topics, including those usually omitted from other textbooks. These are the intentions behind the present book, which is an outcrop from undergraduate and graduate courses in international economics that the author has been holding at the Sapienza University of Rome and other universities from 1974 to 2010 and from his ongoing research work in this field. Accordingly, the work is organised as two-books-in-one by distributing the material between text and appendices.
