Abstract

Methodology/Approach − This chapter employs the critical literature review approach, including archival analysis and face-to-face interviews.

Practical implications − In surveying Kemp's research contributions this chapter provides a useful overview of the development of the normative theory of trade. It also examines a number of methodological issues that may prove to be useful to economic theorists.
