The main purpose of this book is to expose economics graduate students and researchers to the most significant development in international trade that has taken place in the recent past. Service transactions now make up a sizeable portion of global trade. Trade in both final and intermediate inputs is done virtually through information and communication networks, raising afresh the question of the basis of trade and calling for in-depth investigation. This book succinctly comes up with a relatively new explanation for the basis of trade, thus it adds a new dimension to three existing building blocks: technology, endowment, and returns to scale.

Against a backdrop of standard Ricardian and Heckscher–Ohlin competitive models of trade, the chapters of this book nicely introduce the issue of communication cost and the difference in time zones between two trading nations. Then follow many intricate phenomena such as informality, skill formation, growth, wage inequality, and decisions regarding foreign direct investment (FDI). However, imperfectly competitive models are not dealt with in great detail as they deserve more space than can be allotted to them here. Given the nonexistence of any research-oriented in-depth analyses of competitive trade models with time-zone differences, this book is a valuable addition to the resources available to researchers and policymakers interested in deciphering recent developments in global trade patterns and the subsequent welfare effect.

Noritsugu NAKANISHI: Noritsugu Nakanishi is a professor of economics and the current dean of the Graduate School of Economics, Kobe University, Japan. After receiving his Doctor of Economics degree from Kobe University in 1991, he joined the faculty of Kobe University as a lecturer and was promoted to full professor in 2004. He is a member of the Japan Society of International Economics (JSIE), which is an academic association of experts in international economics and related fields in Japan. He won the Kojima Kiyoshi Prize of the JSIE in 2014. In the JSIE, he has held various executive positions such as manager, secretary-general, and standing director over the years, and he was elected to serve as its president from 2016 through 2018. He now is an advisor of the JSIE.

In his research, Dr. Nakanishi has been working both on general equilibrium analysis of international trade and welfare and on the applications of game theory to trade policy issues. He has authored two monographs: Theoretical Analysis of Trade Liberalization―Stepwise and Piecemeal Policies and Economic Welfare (Yuhikaku, 1993; in Japanese) and Game-Theoretic Analysis of Trade Policies Under Interdependent Circumstances: Applications of the Theory of Social Situations and the Stable Set Approach (Minerva Shobo, 2010; in Japanese). He also wrote and edited one English and two Japanese textbooks on international economics: The Essence of International Trade Theory (World Scientific, 2018; in English), International Economics―Trade Theory (Minerva Shobo, 2013; in Japanese), and Theory of International Economics (Yuhikaku, 2003; in Japanese). Other academic articles by Dr. Nakanishi can be found in such leading publications as the Journal of International Economics, Review of International Economics, International Economic Review, Games and Economic Behavior, and International Journal of Game Theory.

Since 2010, Dr.Nakanishi and his colleagues have been engaged in two consecutive research projects that focus on the roles of time-zone differences in international trade. The first project was entitled “Fragmentation, Time Zones, and Their Dynamic Consequences,” which was initiated and led by the late Professor Toru Kikuchi. It began in 2010 and lasted five years. After Prof. Kikuchi’s passing in 2011, Dr. Nakanishi took over as project leader, continuing and bringing the project to complete. In 2016, he initiated a new five-year project entitled “Time Zones, Offshoring, Economic Growth and Dynamics.” Both projects have been financially supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science: Grant-in-Aid (A) 22243024 and Grant-in-Aid (A) 16H02016.
