This course gives an advanced introduction to the structural gravity model as the workhorse model of international trade. It provides tools for trade policy analysis in this framework. Examples of applications are the evaluation of the effects of free trade agreements, WTO membership, or trade sanctions on trade and welfare. The lectures are complemented by hands-on practice sessions. Students are then expected to apply the acquired analytical and empirical concepts to quantify the effects of a (hypothetical) trade policy scenario in a term paper. |
