Course Overview & Academic Objective

ECO-505: International Economics and Trade Policies is a core subject for Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) Semester 3 students at YCMOU.

This resource ensures you grasp both theoretical frameworks (e.g., Heckscher-Ohlin Theorem) and practical applications (e.g., analyzing India’s FTAs with UAE and Australia).
