This collection of 27 articles from international contributors includes a range of significant developments in terms of new models, new modeling dimensions, and new applications of existing models, focusing on general equilibrium models and the importance of interaction amongst markets. General topics include imperfect competition in goods markets, with articles on the theory of endowment and trade, multinational firms, the inequality of nations, productivity, and oligopoly; those on specialization and factor returns include such topics as the role of services, the distribution effects of fragmentation, factor price equalization, and the relationship of trade liberalization and factor price convergence. Other general topics include trade and labor markets, multilateralism and regionalism, trade and the environment, and other policy issues such as protection, evaluation of trade policy and Pareto-efficient international taxation.

Review:

`This is an absolutely first rate collection. The editors have done a very nice job of identifying several research topics in which major advances have been made in the last decade and accurately identified the major contributions in those areas. If you want to know where the frontier of trade theory is, just look at this volume. In addition, Falvey and Kreickemeier have provided an introduction which summarizes the included papers and puts them in context.' -- Douglas R. Nelson, Tulane University, US
