Overview

The International Trade program addresses current debates at the frontier of the field: the role of international trade, trade policy and international cooperation in addressing environmental and climate challenges; recent advances in theoretical modelling and empirical methods to study the trade-environment/climate nexus.

Objective

The program aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent developments in the theory and empirics of international trade, focusing on the role of trade, trade policy and international cooperation in addressing environmental issues and climate change.

Skills acquired

This program will focus on recent debates at the frontier of the field: recent developments in theory (mainly new quantitative trade models, general equilibrium modelling) and in empirics (mainly structural gravity). It will explore how such developments can be used to explore the complex inter-linkages between environmental issues/climate change and international trade, and how international trade and trade rules can contribute to addressing these issues.

Participants will learn about recent developments in the theory and empirics of international trade and how they can be used to analyse environmental issues such as:

Climate change
Greenhouse gas emissions
Deforestation
Biodiversity loss

To be sure you make the most of your stay in Paris, PSE offers social events, such as a boat tour. It’s a wonderful way to balance your everyday studies with the chance to visit the must-sees of the City of Light.

For centuries, Paris has created and recreated itself as one of the most beautiful and charming cities in the world, thanks to its architecture, its restaurants and cafes, and its river banks. It is unique: contemporary without having sacrificed its classical features.
