Textbook

Submitted by Salim B. Furth on Tuesday, 9/6/2011, at 7:58 PM

A note to future students: we will use the 1st Edition of "International Trade" by Feenstra and Taylor. Because this is not the most current edition, it is available online for about $100 less than the 2nd Edition. You're welcome.

Update: The "Textbook" section of this page does not appear to be under my control. It contains information from last year's Trade course, and is not relevant for this course. The only book we will use is Feenstra & Taylor.
