More specifically, on the economics side, a basic knowledge of international trade theory and policy is required, while on the empirical side, the prerequisite is familiarity with work on databases and with the use of STATA® (10 and above) software.
The Practical Guide to Trade Policy Analysis' website contains the material needed to perform the applications and exercises of chapters 1, 2, 3 and 6 of the Practical Guide to Trade Policy Analysis. It also contains solutions to applications and exercises of chapters 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6. This readme file ("How to use the application and exercise files") is divided into three parts. Part I concerns the installation of the material necessary for running the applications and exercises (point 1). Part II describes the organization of the material (point 2). Part III discusses some technicalities (points 3 to 10).
