1.11 — New Trade Theory I — Class Content

Meeting Date

Tuesday, February 28, 2023

Upcoming Assignment

Problem Set 2 (1.9-1.12) is due by 11:59 PM Thursday March 9 on Blackboard Assignments.

Overview

Today, we begin New Trade Theory.

Readings

  • Chapter 6.4 in Feenstra & Taylor

We will cover 6.1-6.2 next class.

I also strongly suggest you consume Paul Krugman’s 2008 Economics Nobel Prize address in some format. There is a video, his slides, and his written lecture posted there. I will be drawing from some of that today.

Primary Sources Mentioned:

Slides

Below, you can find the slides in two formats. Clicking the image will bring you to the html version of the slides in a new tab. The lower button will allow you to download a PDF version of the slides.

Tip

You can type h to see a special list of viewing options, and type o for an outline view of all the slides.

I suggest printing the slides beforehand and using them to take additional notes in class (not everything is in the slides)!
