Discussion on Trade and Globalization. Take some notes as you watch the two videos.

A brief review of Ricardo’s fundamental trade theory: I will use slides for this, nothing to read.

Further short reading (Baldwin) on globalization (optional, but highly recommended):

Blog : Link (https://voxeu.org/content/long-view-globalisation-short-part-1-5)

I do not believe he finished this series of blogs; instead, he focused on publishing his last book.

I will discuss these slides from Richard Baldwin: Baldwin Great Convergence slides (for posting).pdf (https://utah.instructure.com/courses/930430/files/160029441?wrap=1) (https://utah.instructure.com/courses/930430/files/160029441/download?download_frd=1)

More on trade theory. Depending on time, I may discuss this; otherwise, more background for you. (https://utah.instructure.com/courses/930430/files/160029440?wrap=1) (https://utah.instructure.com/courses/930430/files/160029440/download?download_frd=1)
