Description
The two volumes incorporate major new papers contributed by leading international economists, on a range of topics that reflect the breadth of Professor Lloyd's own distinguished contributions to the field of international trade and policy during a career spanning over four decades. This first volume, Trade Theory, Analytical Models and Development, comprises 11 essays offering new contributions on the following topics:
trade and wages
factor endowments, factor mobility and political economy of trade
optimality of tariffs
measurement of welfare
customs union theory
endogenous mergers and tariffs
intra-industry trade
state trading enterprises and trade liberalisation
general equilibrium effects of e-Commerce, and trade
economic growth with production and consumption externalities
environmental pollution and resource degradation.
The diversity of the topics covered by the contributors will appeal to international economists, and particularly to those with an interest in international trade theory and applications.
