Description

"This book is a brilliant exploration of the implications of recent theories of international trade for one of the most important questions in the field: how large are the gains from trade? Feenstra takes the models apart to shed light on the basic mechanisms at play and then masterfully uses the data to understand their quantitative significance."--AndrTs Rodriquez-Clare, Professor of Economics, Pennsylvania State University -- Book Jacket.
