There is a particular emphasis on the interaction between theoretical and empirical modelling.

Learning outcomes comprise:

  • a good knowledge of facts relating to international trade and of the role and functioning of the World Trade Organization and multi-lateral trade negotiations (Uruguay, Doha,..);
  • the role of trade and fiscal policies in a global economy and the strategic aspects involved;
  • an understanding of the determinants (eg. agglomeration forces) of interregional and international GDP level and growth disparities.
