The two volumes incorporate major new papers contributed by leading international economists, on a range of topics that reflect the breadth of Professor Lloyd's own distinguished contributions to the field of international trade and policy during a career spanning over four decades.
This first volume, Trade Theory, Analytical Models and Development, comprises 11 essays offering new contributions on the following topics:
* trade and wages
* factor endowments, factor mobility and political economy of trade
* optimality of tariffs
* measurement of welfare
* customs union theory
* endogenous mergers and tariffs
* intra-industry trade
* state trading enterprises and trade liberalisation
* general equilibrium effects of e-Commerce, and trade
* economic growth with production and consumption externalities
* environmental pollution and resource degradation.
The diversity of the topics covered by the contributors will appeal to international economists, and particularly to those with an interest in international trade theory and applications.
