International Economics II
CSS 415 SP

Drawing upon the foundations laid by Ricardo, J.B. Clark and Schumpter in the sophomore year, this tutorial will explore selected topics in international trade. Methodologically, it will shift from deductive critical analysis of the sophomore year to empircal inference, relating theory to evidence as a mode of discovering probable truth. This latter mode--descriptive assumptions, behavioral hypothesis, empirical test--is the predominate technique of research papers and of Honors theses. The topics t o be covered--within the context of international transactions between developed countries and those of the Third World--are comparative advantage, commodity terms of trade and structural adjustment.
