The course covers economic sub-areas in economic growth and development economics, international trade, economic integration, economic geography, and political economy. The course addresses the causes of economic development, causes and effects of international factor mobility, and connections between economic development, income distribution, and the environment. The course also studies the causes of international trade, economic integration, and economic geography, as well as the effects of international trade and economic integration on relative prices, trade flows, welfare, and income distribution. Furthermore, the course deals with trade policy and the effects of trade barriers on income distribution and welfare, as well as models that explain politics, or so-called political economy.
