This course introduces students to the theories of international trade using an optimization approach. We discuss core trade theories and their empirical applications. We also explore recent advances that focus on the firm's decision to export and investigate the role of heterogeneity in firm productivity on patterns of trade. The course can be taken independently or in conjunction with 8433 to make a two-semester sequence in international economics.
