Course Objective

Also the competitive advantages theory of Ricardo and the theory of Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson (H-O-S) expresses that the less similar the countries, the more they do foreign trade, the large proportion of world trade occur not between developped and developing countries but between inter developped countries. Although too many pioneer studies were done to explain this situation and new facts like this, this studies was not shown sufficient interest until 1980s, and analitical instruments that can be compared with traditional trade thoeries was obtained. In this course, the theories and models which tries to explain the new facts observed in foreign trade will be analyzed and the measurement methods of intra-industry and inter-industry will be introduced to provide basis for this theoritical explanations.
