This course introduces students to the global economy and emphasizes the significance and implications of government policies for trade in various commodities.  Specifically, students will learn about various trade theories and develop an intuitive understanding of the theoretical foundations of the economics of international agricultural trade.  Furthermore, the course would familiarize students with current issues and empirical methods used in the analysis of trade policies. Weekly course meeting time will be divided between traditional lectures and use of Problem-based Learning (PBL) techniques. This will involve group-based activities such as problem solving, discussions, and in-class presentations.  Each student is encouraged to come to class prepared to discuss previously assigned readings, problems and issues.
