International trade examines why countries exchange goods, services, and capital, who benefits and who is harmed, and what policies governments adopt in response. The central insight -- comparative advantage -- is among the most counterintuitive results in all of economics: a country benefits from trade even if it is less productive than its trading partner at everything. This skill covers the classical and modern theories of trade, policy instruments, exchange rate determination, and the political economy of trade agreements.
