PRINCETON UNIVERSITY: Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs WWS 543: International Trade Policy Gene Grossman Spring 2009 Course Objectives The objective of this course is to provide students with the ability to analyze policy issues related to international trade. The course will begin with an introduction to the main theories of international trade, which seek to explain why countries trade, what countries trade, and who gains and loses from trade. Next, we will discuss the instruments of trade policy, their effects on resource allocation and the political economy forces that shape the choice of trade policies. The later parts of the course will address policy issues of current and ongoing concern, including the trends in offshoring and outsourcing, the relationship between trade and growth, the relationship between trade and the environment, and the processes of multilateral and regional trade integration.
