Theory, policy and dynamics in international trade

This book presents a collection of papers on international trade. There are 16 chapters, divided into five sections: introduction; history, geography and the theory of trade; structure of simple trade models; policy towards international trade; trade, growth and dynamics. The contributions range over all the major areas of current research, including articles on the geographical aspects of international trade, on dynamic stochastic economies, and on endogenous growth. In addition to the theoretical contributions, the book also contains work on policy issues such as auction quotas, and the role of government in economic development. Also included is an assessment of the theoretical achievements of a leading authority in international trade theory, Ronald Jones, in whose honour the essays were written. -after Publisher
