Dr. Schmitt has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
International trade studies goods-and-services flows across international boundaries from supply-and-demand factors, economic integration, international factor movements, and policies affecting these flows.[1]
The Modern analysis would require a major re-write as this part is long, cumbersome and dated.
Trade policies seem to stop in the 1980s; nothing on anti-dumping, on so-called deep integration, or on regional integration.
We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.
Dr. Schmitt has published scholarly research which seems to be relevant to this Wikipedia article:

Dr. Vanzetti has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
This article is quite good but somewhat dated and lacking discussion of ne developments.
I would define international trade simply as the exchange of goods, services and capital across national borders.
Scope and methodology. Rather than the international mobility of the capital and labour, I would suggest trade theory differs from the rest of economic theory because of the presence of fluctuating exchanges rates. The focus of trade theory is to explain what and why countries trade with each other.
There is little or no emphasis on the role of heterogeneous firms, nor of imperfect substitution (the Armington assumption).
The section on exchange rates could use the Euro experiment as an example. The Global Financial Crisis needs more discussion.
There is little on the proliferation of preferential trade agreements.
A lot of the estimates of the benefits of tariff reform are dated (Notes 31, 32, 33, 34) and hence too large.
The paragraph on quotas could add a reference to tariff rate quotas, common in agriculture. More could be said about recent work on non-tariff barriers, undertaken by WB/UNCTAD for example.
We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

The weakest section of this article is probably Trade Policies, especially the paragraph on quotas. This could be much improved with input from Philip C. Abbott at Purdue (abbottpc@purdue.edu).

Dr. Matusz has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
I would not say that there are inaccuracies, but I think that the tone of the discussion of the state of international trade is a bit harsh and incomplete.
I'm not sure what the following statement really means.
"The branch of trade theory which is conventionally categorized as "classical" consists mainly of the application of deductive logic, originating with Ricardo’s Theory of Comparative Advantage and developing into a range of theorems that depend for their practical value upon the realism of their postulates."
The "assumed postulates" are completely unrealistic. The relevance of the theory centers around its ability to help us organize our thoughts about the forces at work and make predictions regarding the effects of changes in parameters. For example, the Heckscher-Ohlin model helps us figure out how to set up an empirical test of whether immigration affects local wages.
More generally, I think that the article is a bit dismissive of neo-classical theory, suggesting that the "Leontief Paradox" essentially invalidates it. I would disagree. I think that there is plenty of evidence that there is a factor-endowment component to trade, but the basic model is too restrictive to capture the full picture. See, for example, Davis and Weinstein (An Account of Global Factor Trade, American Economic Review, December 2001)I suppose it's not possible to fit everything into a single article, but it is hard to imagine a section entitled "Modern Analysis" that does not give at least some passing reference to the models of intraindustry trade, including work by Paul Krugman, Avanish Dixit, Gene Grossman, Elhanan Helpman, and Marc Melitz.
I am not commenting on the discussion of international finance because it is not my area of expertise.
We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.
We believe Dr. Matusz has expertise on the topic of this article, since he has published relevant scholarly research:
