This lecture covers advanced topics in international economics with a special emphasis on quantitative techniques employed ininternational trade. This course is divided into two main components: the first part introduces important concepts and provides the therotetical foundations of the structural gravity equation. The second part deals with partial and general equilibrium trade policy analysis with structural gravity
Grades are based on an essay
