Omschrijving | We first focus on the theory of trade policies. What are the welfare implications of introducing quotas, tariffs and providing export subsidies? How are these welfare changes distributed among trade partners and groups of agents (such as producers and consumers) within these? Second, we focus on European economic integration. Which economic and political factors led to the European Union and its predecessors? How are decision-making processes designed, what are the main advantages and disadvantages of the increasing economic integration and what are the main aspects of EU trade policies? | ||||||||||||||||||||
