The chapters cover four areas: how national comparative advantage evolves in the course of economic growth; how agricultural markets and national and global economic welfare are affected by distortionary price and trade policies; how inefficiently non-trade concerns of societies are addressed using trade-distorting policies; and how the income distributional effects of trade policies drive the political economy of those policies.Copyright Information: 2014 World Scientific Publishing Co.29 pagesapplication/pdfen-AU© 2014 World Scientific Publishing Co.trade opennessnational and global economic developmentnational comparative advantageeconomic growthagricultural marketsdistortionary pricetrade policiesincome distributional effectspolitical economy20132020-11-22
