The course deals with patterns of international trade, both in theory and empirics. Starting with the classic Ricardian and Heckscher-
Ohlin trade models, students will be introduced to modern models, such as Eaton & Kortum (2002), Melitz (2003) and Melitz &
Ottaviano (2008). In the tutorial students will present recent selected papers.
Ungraded but obligatory: presentation and two summaries (1 page each).
