Reseña del editor

Developed in the classroom by two of the most prominent researchers in the field, Feenstra and Taylor’s International Economics is a modern textbook for a modern audience, connecting theory to empirical evidence and expanding beyond the traditional focus on advanced companies to cover emerging markets and developing economies. International Trade is a split volume from the text, covering:
· Offshoring of goods and services (Chapter 6)
· Tariffs and quotas under imperfect competition (Chapter 9)
· International agreements on trade, labor, and the environment (Chapter 11)
As well as core topics:
· The Ricardian model (Chapter 2)
· The specific-factors model (Chapter 3)
· The Heckscher-Ohlin model (Chapter 4)
· Trade with increasing returns to scale and imperfect competition (Chapter 6)
· Import tariffs and quotas under perfect competition (Chapter 8)
· Export subsidies (Chapter 10)
