This volume, the first of two, is a detailed exploration of the theories, policies, and issues stemming from the field of International Trade. Written by specialists in the field, the chapters focus on four important areas: factor proportions theory, trade policy, investment, and new trade theory. The extensive analysis covers such topics as the Heckscher-Ohlin Trade Model and the Stolper-Samuelson Price Link, as well as wages, antidumping, and political economics.

The work includes a comprehensive introduction by the editors, which summarizes recent advances in the field and places the research in a broader context. These complex and well-conceived articles, supplemented with an extensive bibliography, make the Handbook of International Trade Volume I an indispensable resource.
