1 Iowa State University International Trade Theory (Econ 655) Fall 2002 Instructor: Harvey Lapan Prerequisites: Economics 603 Course Requirements: The course grade will be based on an (optional) midterm exam, a final exam, and a paper. The paper is worth 35% of the grade. For those who take both exams, the midterm will be worth 25% and the final 40% of the grade, while for those who take only the final, it will be worth 65% of the grade. The paper topic must be discussed with me before Thanksgiving break, and a detailed outline of the paper must be turned in by the end of classes. Required Text: Dixit and Norman, Theory of International Trade, Cambridge U. Press, [DN] Recommended Text & Readings: Bhagwati, Panagariya and Srinivasan, Lectures on International Trade, MIT Press, [BPS] Bhagwati, ed., International Trade: Selected Readings, 2nd edn., MIT Press, [B] Grossman, ed., Imperfect Competition and International Trade, MIT Press, [G] Jones & Kenen, eds., Handbook of International Economics, North-Holland, 1988 (paper); Vol. 1.

Purpose of the Course: The purpose of this course is to acquaint students with the basic tools and propositions of international trade theory. There is no way that we can cover all of the material of the discipline in a single semester (many schools have a two semester sequence). The reading list is meant to indicate some of the more important topics in the area, and provide you with readings should you be interested in pursuing one of these topics as a course paper.
