✦ Synopsis

Technology is an increasingly important factor in the competition between nations for international trade. It affects the range of products a country exports, the quality of these products, and the price for which they are sold. Unlike traditional, neo-classical theories of international trade and investment, which neglect this issue, Jorge Niosi and the contributing authors address it directly.
