Anotace

čeština

This course covers, with a focus on both theory and empirics, essential topics in international (interregional) trade and trade policy analysis at the undergraduate level. These basics are complemented by hands-on work with empirical data, and discussions of topic which appear in current debates on trade policies and protectionism. The course attempts to provide insight into the following questions: - Why do countries (regions) trade? And how does trade influence the welfare of their citizens? - What determines which goods/services will be exported/imported by particular countries? - How do trade policies influence the effects of trade on economies and their welfare? - How are US and EU policies formed and how do they differ? If US uses “Buy America/n”, is there something like “Buy European”? - How can we identify and evaluate vulnerabilities caused by dependencies on countries such as China, Russia, etc.? - What kind of sanctions can be used (and are used by the USA, EU, and China), and how do they influence welfare?
