This lecture will begin by reviewing recent work in Economics that aims
to estimate the magnitude of the gains from trade, both between and
within countries. We will then turn to recent evidence (from Costinot
and Donaldson, 2012) that uses agronomic data to provide new estimates
of these gains in the context of US agricultural growth from 1880-2002.
