Lecture Guide 1.
This is not a core chapter and it is one of the most challenging chapters in international trade theory. It is in cluded for more adva need stude nts and for complete ness.
If I were to cover this chapter, I would prese nt two sect ions in each of three lectures. Time permitting, I would, otherwise cover Sections 1 and 2, paying special attention to the Rybcz yn ski theorem.
