- Summary:
- Trade Policy and Economic Welfare expounds the normative theory of trade policy. It includes discussion of static and dynamic arguments for protection, especially the infant industry argument; effects of trade policy on income distribution, monopoly, X-efficiency, foreign investment, and capital accumulation; protection of advanced-technology industries; and the choice between tariffs and subsidies as methods of protection. The chapters are self-contained to allow the flexible use of the book in teaching courses on international trade and the economics of developing countries. The exposition is rigorous but non-mathematical, with ample use of simple diagrams.
