( Market Structure and Foreign Trade presents a coherent...)
Market Structure and Foreign Trade presents a coherent theory of trade in the presence of market structures other than perfect competition. The theory it develops explains trade patterns, especially of industrial countries, and provides an integration between trade and the role of multinational enterprises. Relating current theoretical work to the main body of trade theory, Helpman and Krugman review and restate known results and also offer entirely new material on contestable markets, oligopolies, welfare, and multinational corporations, and new insights on external economies, intermediate inputs, and trade composition.

( Market Structure and Foreign Trade presents a coherent...)
In the earlier years the work was concerned with macroeconomic and fiscal policy. The latter interest led to the study of urban economic problems related to taxation and local public goods. Later on the focus was shifted to microeconomic foundations of exchange-rate regimes plus uncertainty and imperfect competition in foreign trade.
The study of exchange-rate regimes has been directed towards a better understanding of the interaction between financial systems and the real structure of economies in affecting macroeconomic variables. The interaction between the financial system and the real structure was also the focus of the study of trade under uncertainty. However, the work on exchange-rate regimes has focussed mainly on monetary arrangements while the work of trade under uncertainty has focussed on the role of risk-sharing arrangements via trade in securities on trade performance.
International trade under imperfect competition has been studied in order to provide a better explanation of trade structure in the industrial countries, the emphasis being on the volume of trade, its composition
in terms of intra versus intersectoral trade and the intersectoral pattern of trade.
