Support for EC338 International Trade at LSE
Our tutoring for EC338 is designed to make the module feel more manageable. Sessions can focus on clarifying lecture material, rebuilding foundations, working through problem sets, essays, data-based tasks and exam preparation, and developing a clearer strategy for revision and assessed work. The aim is to help students understand the module deeply enough to apply the material independently, not just memorise model answers.
Students often struggle with:
- understanding the relationship between comparative advantage and factor endowments without losing sight of the economic intuition
- applying economies of scale in analytical work and using firm heterogeneity in problem sets, essays or data-based questions
- selecting the right model, explaining its assumptions and showing enough analytical detail
- building a clear revision plan when the module starts to feel cumulative
Our tutors can help by:
- Rebuilding the intuition behind comparative advantage and its relationship with factor endowments
- Working through models, diagrams and algebra involving economies of scale
- Applying firm heterogeneity to evidence, policy questions or real-world examples
- Practising problem sets and exam answers with clear economic reasoning
- Tailoring sessions to the exact parts of EC338 that feel unclear
