ECO2300H1F International Trade

This course explores international trade through the lenses of economic theory, empirical analysis, and real-world policy. Key questions include: What determines which goods countries export and import - and with whom? How does trade affect domestic inequality? What role do firms, especially multinational corporations, play in shaping trade patterns? How do governments design trade policies - such as tariffs, industrial subsidies, and controls on technology flows? Finally, we examine how evolving economic and political developments in the U.S. and China are reshaping Canada's trade landscape and challenging the role of the World Trade Organization.
