1.12 — New Trade Theory II — Class Content
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.

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