Description

This sequel to Market Structure and Foreign Trade examines the new international trade's applied side. It provides a compact guide to models of the effects of trade policy in imperfectly competitive markets, as well as an up-to-date survey of existing knowledge, which is extended by the authors' useful interpretations of the results.

Reviews

"A brilliant success... This book, like its predecessor, will be taken for granted as shared background in future scholarly discussion of the issues it treats. Robert E. Lucas, Jr. , Journal of Political Economy "An excellent summary of the basic ideas on trade policy under conditions of imperfect competition. Not only does it provide a good guide to what has been happening in this area of research, but it also organizes the variety of models in such a way as to furnish the reader with rich insights." Konstantine Gatsios , Economica
