Global trade in goods and services has increased at a much faster pace than global GDP during the post World War II period. Initially the surge in international trade was experienced by the developed world. However the underdeveloped countries joined the race pretty soon.
In an era of globalization trade in goods and services and flow of capital across the countries are playing a key role in their economic growth. Countries have embarked upon a number of tracks (unilateral, regional, bilateral and multilateral) to liberalize their economies in alignment with world economy.
With the progress of globalisation a large part of trade and financial transactions now involve cross border flows. The phenomenal rise of such flows in a relatively short period of time has meant that a clear understanding of the intricacies of these flows is now mandatory to utilise it for the benefit of organizations as well as countries.
Being a catalyst for new ideas and concepts, IIFT undertook an academic initiative in 2008 to organise a Research Conference with an aim to provide a platform for academic debate, discourse and knowledge-sharing on different dimensions of Empirical Issues in International Trade and Finance (EIITF).
