Abstract
This set of comments addresses some generic questions and problems of the “new” quantitative work. It is geared towards a reader looking at the respective work from an empirical rather than a theoretical angle.
Note: This chapter is based on a transcription of the presentation given at the conference “Celebrating 200 Years of Ricardian Trade Theory” on May 12, 2017, at the University of Basel, Switzerland. It is a comment to the presentation by Jonathan Eaton, i.e., to Chapt. 12 of this book.
