Trade and Growth

Dear Political Economic Digest Series Participant, Welcome to the thirty fourth issue of Political Economic Digest Series. In the last issue of Political Economic Digest Series we had readings on The Problem of Price Control by Fiona M. Scott Morton. This issue will cover reading on Trade and Growth which is a chapter from the book International Trade Free, Fair and Open by Patrick Love and Ralph Lattimore. This particular chapter focuses on how open trade policy contributes to economic growth. It also discusses on the factors contributing to economic growth and relationship between trade and R&D, trade and the diffusion of new technologies, and trade and investment.
