Why the WTI doctoral programme?

international trade phd research topics

We take an interdisciplinary approach, continuously exploring the interconnections between economics, political science and law and how such linkages can be developed to enhance scientific theory and practice. In fact, this programme is targeted at doctoral students who are interested in writing theses that cross the boundaries among the three disciplines.

When you enter the WTI, you become part of a unique community of scholars, thought leaders and policy shapers. You join a group of people from around the world who are making a difference. The doctoral programme is structured in such a way as to encourage you to contribute to the overall experience and to help make it a success not only for yourself, but also for your colleagues.

PhD course: The rules and practice of treaty interpretation, including a specific focus on WTO law

international trade phd research topics

Flyer_Treaty interpretation.pdf

16-20 September 2024

This interactive course combines in-depth analysis of the rules and practice of treaty interpretation with activities inviting participants to apply these rules to specific interpretative questions related to current challenges and conundrums. The course focuses on the Public International Law rules of interpretation, including those codified in the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, other principles of interpretation not codified therein, and on the institutional, as well as the political and historical factors that influence the interpretation of treaties.

During the first part of the week, participants will explore the use of these rules and principles in the practice of different international adjudicating bodies dealing with investment, environment, and law of the sea matters.

During the second part of the week course, the focus will be on WTO dispute settlement reports. Participants will thus gain an understanding of the rules and practice of treaty interpretation both in general and in the specific context of WTO disputes. In addition, various exercises, including an "interpretation game", will allow them to acquire practical skills and to assess the role, the power, and the limits of interpretation in judicial reasoning and beyond. Students will be graded on the basis of exercises and class participation. 

Lecturers Jenya Grigorova , Dispute Settlement Lawyer, Legal Affairs Division, WTO Gabrielle Marceau , Senior Counsellor, Research Division (ERSD), WTO

Timetable The course takes place from Monday 16.09 to Friday 20.09, from 9:30 to 12:00 and from 13:30 to 16:00

Your PhD at the WTI

international trade phd research topics

ECTS credits PhDs generally take 3-5 years to complete. Once enrolled, WTI doctoral students will be required to collect a minimum of 24 ECTS credits in courses and other mandatory activities offered under the WTI Doctoral Programme. One credit equals approximately 25-30 hours of work.

The core set of activities composing the mandatory curriculum is meant to provide doctoral students with a uniquely structured programme which guides them through the different steps of their PhD studies and encourages interdisciplinarity. PhD students are also encouraged to earn extra credits (up to a total of 30 ECTS) through additional external activities such as presenting papers at conferences and publishing their work in academic journals.

Doctoral colloquia One of the many benefits of being a PhD candidate at the WTI is obtaining peer feedback. You will be asked to present the results of your work at least once a year at a doctoral colloquium and to attend your colleagues’ presentations. Doctoral colloquia take place at least twice a year and provide a venue for the exchange of ideas, suggestions and comments. This is also where your thesis supervisor will provide guidelines and direction. The whole exercise provides a platform for you to practise the oral defence of your thesis.

Database and citation software training Several different software programmes for citation will be available to you, including Zotero. Zotero is a reference management programme that facilitates the collection, organisation, citation and sharing of research resources. You can take advantage of technical training in Zotero at the WTI. Along with citation software training, you can benefit from training on legal and economic databases by librarians and external experts.

58606 - Topics in International Trade

Academic year 2023/2024.

  • Docente: Gaetano Alfredo Minerva
  • SSD: SECS-P/02
  • Language: English
  • Teaching Mode: Traditional lectures
  • Campus: Forli
  • Corso: Second cycle degree programme (LM) in International Relations and Diplomatic Affairs (cod. 9247) Also valid for Second cycle degree programme (LM) in International Politics and Economics (cod. 5702)

Course Timetable

from Feb 22, 2024 to May 24, 2024

Learning outcomes

The aim of the class is to enable students to go through advanced topics in international economic integration. Mainstream recent theoretical and empirical contributions on trade will be presented. Specific emphasis will be devoted to trade policies, income distribution and welfare effects of trade restrictions, trade and environment, geographic agglomeration. The last section of the lectures will dwell on social choices and/or political economy of trade.

Course contents

Learning outcomes (updated). Trade and Geography in the World Economy:  The first part of the course presents in an advanced yet tractable manner theories of international trade and economic geography that describe the forces shaping the distribution of economic activity across space, and the consequences that agglomeration and dispersion forces have at the world level on economic outcomes such as prices, trade flows, wages, and welfare. Political outcomes such as voting behaviour are also analyzed. The course is centred around models of both perfect and imperfect competition, and considers more recent extensions, such as those assuming production heterogeneity and aiming at an exact quantification of the models’ properties. The second part of the course is devoted to empirical applications, where papers with a structural approach to the estimation of the models’ parameters are presented. The final empirical application is a Lab focusing on the structural estimation of gravity equations of trade, a key tool for trade policy analysis.

Prerequisites: Knowledge of undergraduate International Economics (to the equivalent of 25751 ), and of undergraduate Econometrics (to the equivalent of 93674 ) are strongly recommended. Students are expected to have previous knowledge of some software for statistical computing, such as Stata or R.

International Trade

The International Trade group at Yale extends across the Department of Economics and the School of Management and includes renowned faculty who work on theoretical, empirical, and quantitative trade models, as well as trade policy, political economy, and international finance.

Researchers in the International Trade Program seek to understand how workers, firms, and regions respond to trade, both within and across countries. Active areas of research include the impact of globalization on US structural change towards services, the relocation of energy-intensive industries towards countries with less stringent environmental regulations, the relationship between innovation and immigration, language barriers in multinational organizations, the dismantling of capital controls at the end of the Bretton Woods era, the short- and long-run effects of the refugee crisis in Europe, and the role of international climate agreements in addressing climate change.

The Cowles Foundation provides a uniquely supportive environment for work in international trade. The Program in International Trade provides direct research support to students and faculty, support for postdoc positions, and support for short term and long term academic visitors. The International Trade group also benefits from initiatives funded by the Yale Economic Growth Center .

Seminars and Conferences

The Department holds a weekly International Trade Workshop at which faculty from Yale and other universities and advanced graduate students make presentations. The Department also runs a weekly International and Spatial Economics Lunch where Yale faculty and graduate students present work in its early stages.

The International Trade Program hosts two flagship conferences. The Cowles International Trade Summer Conference meets annually and brings together top economists in the field to present new research in front of large audiences. Recent conferences have focused on themes such as foreign investment, global value chains, and technology diffusion. The Trade Day meets multiple times a year and brings together top scholars to present new research in a smaller venue for workshopping. Recent Trade Days have featured research on supply chain resilience and disruptions, infrastructure investments, and foreign investment.

For more information about these events, see the Cowles Conferences and Workshops page .

Graduate Teaching and Research

The International Trade sequence consists of two courses: 720 and 721. On the theoretical side, these courses cover the theory of international trade, policy, and institutions. Specifically the sequence covers: discussion of classical, neo-classical, and imperfect competition scale economies based static models of trade; dynamic extensions of some of the models that explore the relations among trade, innovation, and growth; the analytics of trade policy issues, such as gains from trade, tariffs, and quotas, customs unions and free trade areas, and the political economy of trade policy making. On the empirical side, the sequence covers a variety of topics in international trade with particular emphasis on current research areas. Topics include tests of international trade theories; studies of the relationship between international trade, labor markets, and income distribution; recent trade liberalization episodes in developing countries; empirical assessment of various trade policies, such as VERs and Anti-Dumping; productivity (and its relation to international trade liberalization); and exchange rates, market integration, and international trade.

Choosing International Economics Research Paper Topics

Choosing a compelling and relevant research paper topic in the field of international economics is a crucial step towards producing a high-quality and impactful paper. With the multitude of available topics, it can be challenging to narrow down your focus and select a topic that is both engaging and manageable. To help you navigate this process, we offer the following expert advice on choosing international economics research paper topics:

  • Identify your Interests : Start by reflecting on your personal interests within the field of international economics. Consider topics that resonate with you and align with your career goals. Engaging with a topic you are passionate about will not only make the research process more enjoyable but also enhance the quality of your work.
  • Stay Updated with Current Events : Keep abreast of current global economic issues and trends. Read reputable news sources, academic journals, and policy reports to identify emerging topics or areas of debate in international economics. Analyzing and addressing these contemporary issues will add relevance and significance to your research.
  • Explore Controversial Topics : Consider researching topics that have varying viewpoints or controversial aspects. These topics often spark interesting discussions and allow you to critically analyze different perspectives. However, ensure that you approach controversial topics with objectivity and rigor, presenting a balanced view in your research.
  • Consult with Professors or Experts : Seek guidance from your professors or experts in the field of international economics. They can provide valuable insights, suggest research areas, or share their expertise on specific topics. Their input can help you refine your research question and provide direction for your study.
  • Review Existing Literature : Conduct a thorough review of existing literature in international economics. Identify gaps or areas where further research is needed. Building upon existing knowledge or exploring new dimensions of a topic can contribute to the advancement of the field and make your research more impactful.
  • Consider Data Availability : Assess the availability of relevant data for your chosen topic. Data plays a crucial role in empirical research, and access to reliable and comprehensive data sets will strengthen the empirical analysis in your paper. Ensure that you have access to suitable data sources before finalizing your research topic.
  • Balance Breadth and Depth : Strive to strike a balance between the breadth and depth of your research topic. While a broad topic can provide a comprehensive overview, a narrow focus allows for a more in-depth analysis. Consider the scope of your research project, the available resources, and the time constraints when selecting the level of breadth or depth for your topic.
  • Collaborate and Discuss : Engage in discussions with your peers, classmates, or fellow researchers. Brainstorming and exchanging ideas can stimulate new perspectives and inspire unique research topics.
