The course will be structured around seminal theoretical and empirical papers in the literature on international trade. The course will cover various topics that include firm heterogeneity, quality differentiation, multi-product firms, oligopoly and trade, foreign direct investment, trade in intermediates, and globalization-induced organization of firms.
