S1 Episode #4 - Amit Khandelwal - "Trade and Development"

Economists on Zoom Getting Coffee hosts Prof. Amit Khandelwal, one of the leading economists on topics related to international trade in the context of developing countries. With Amit we talk about the main findings of his studies on how the effects of more trade are different for rich and for poor countries, how firms and countries improve upon the ability to reach new and sophisticated markets, and what are the type of policies that make sense in order for developing countries to benefit the most from opening up to trade.  

Amit Khandelwal is the Chazen Professor of Global Business in the Economics Division of Columbia Graduate School of Business. He is also the editor co-chair of one of the Review of Economic and Statistics, one of the most prestigious academic journals in economics. His research interests examine issues in international and development economics, including the strategic response of firms to trade liberalizations and increased international competition.
