Aiming to teach students how to \u003ci\u003euse\u003c\/i\u003e economic theory instead of merely \u003ci\u003ememorizing\u003c\/i\u003e economic theory, \u003cb\u003eInternational Trade\u003c\/b\u003e introduces each topic with a real-world policy problem followed by the models and theories in an applied approach.
