Closing the Gaps of IPE Theory A Theory Developing Study of Differentiated Trade Analysis

Abstract: Through a series of problem debates and methodological discussions, a model is presented for combining economic methodology with political science approaches to trade analysis. The developed differentiated model is constructed through contemporary theory and statistical methods as well as newly presented theory to the field of IPE. Through the numerical analysis of the DTA model, the export distortions of Denmark, Sweden and Norway during the recent cartoon crisis are analyzed. Through a series of successful analysis, and some over-distorted cases (in particular for the case of Norway) the DTA model is ratified as a viable model for simplistic economic contra social analysis, and through further mathematical modeling, the approach could be more refined and accurate. The overall conclusions goes to say that a inter-topic methodological link can be constructed under certain circumstances, and that the DTA model can serve as a template for similar approaches to cases of multidimensional approaches.
