The main intended learning outcome would be, among other objectives: to train the students to learn the advanced concepts and both analytical and empirical techniques in international trade theory and policies, so that they can compare and evaluate the efficacy of various advanced models and policies. More importantly, they can develop their own frameworks and policy measures for research and applications. Ultimately, students will be able to connect themselves with the international trade system, develop confidence and ability in analysing international economic issues by applying relevant theories, form logical reasoning and critiques on world trade affairs and policies, and offer creative and innovative solutions to conflicts among trading partners and challenges of inequality due to globalization in the ever-changing global economy.
