Top Research Papers on International Trade

Aceptado: 05 octubre 2022 En este documento, se propone examinar teóricamente el comercio de la calidad de productos con un marco de competencia oligopólica a la Hotelling, en lugar de un marco de competencia monopolística o competencia perfecta como es el estándar en la literatura del comercio internacional. Este marco permite identificar la calidad de los productos, al tiempo que captura simultáneamente la preferencia por la variedad y la preferencia por la calidad de los consumidores. Los resultados teóricos permiten construir dos índices que capturan la calidad a través de los precios y de...

The field of international trade has advanced in the past decade through a healthy exchange between new observations on firms in export markets and new theories that have introduced producer heterogeneity into trade models. As a result, we now have general equilibrium theories of trade that are consistent with various dimensions of both the aggregate and the firmlevel data. Furthermore, we have a much better sense of the magnitudes of key parameters underlying these theories.1 This flurry of activity at the firm level has left the core aggregate relationships among trade, factor costs, and wel...

International trade and trade policy have become increasingly important and complex in recent years. In this comprehensive introduction to the key aspects of international trade policy, noted authority Anne O. Krueger explains what has happened and why these issues are so difficult. With evidence-based analysis and an even-handed approach, International Trade: What Everyone Needs to Know lays the foundation to understand what trade does and does not do. Focusing on the importance of trade in both goods and services, Krueger explores the effects of various trade policies step-by-step and demons...

With the change of administration in the United States, trade negotiations came to a near standstill in 2009. There was little to no discernable progress in the Doha round of World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations, and despite Russia's efforts to the contrary, no new members joined the WTO. Dispute settlement activity was also subdued, with a considerable decrease in both the number of initiations and the number of Appellate Body and Panel Reports issued. The controversy over the so-called “zeroing�? methodology continued to represent a large portion of the Dispute Settlement Body's (DSB)...

The authors discuss international trade trends; new challenges and chances coming along with international integration; with special attention for expanding trade relations between Russia and the countries.

In 2008, the field of international trade experienced considerable activity in some areas and virtual stagnation in others. The World Trade Organization (WTO) welcomed two new members in 2008: Ukraine and Cape Verde. Progress on Russia's accession suffered a setback in 2008 due to the Russian-Georgian War in South Ossetia and Abkhazia and other bilateral issues. Additionally, the expiration of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) in 2007 and the U.S. presidential and congressional elections created uncertainty as to whether the next administration would honor U.S.-negotiated agreements and whether ...

The study of the international trade system shows that this is not a natural state under human control. Nowadays, the most significant challenge refers to turning international trade into a welfare-creating factor, by changing rules of conduct, the behaviour of actors and institutions. In the context of the economic and financial crisis, but also due to the increase in the external debt of states, radical changes are highly required, both in terms of the involvement of companies in international trade and the assistance provided by supportive institutions to companies, in order to apply the be...

Tb STUDY OF THE MEDIEVAL. Islamic countryside, and of the silent majority that inhabited it, is enveloped by a considerable obscurity with only occasional and partial clearings. Our familiarity with the medieval Egyptian (and, more generally, Middle Eastern) countryside is vague and imprecise. Fundamental issues remain unclarified and unstudied. We are bereft of some of the most basic notions and concepts to describe, understand, and analyse the agricultural and rural history of the Islamic Middle East. Abhorring this vacuum, historians of the premodern Middle East have slowly begun to mobilis...

International business encompasses all commercial activities that take place to promote the transfer of goods, services, resources, people, ideas, and technologies across national borders. International business occurs in many different forms, the movement of goods from one country to another (exporting, importing, trade), contractual agreements that allow foreign firms to use products, services, and processes from other nations (licensing, franchising), the formation and operations of sales, manufacturing, research and development, and distribution facilities in foreign markets. Internatio...

summary This article provides a brief overview of the achievements of UNCTAD over the last 25 years. It then examines in some detail the evolution of the world trading system, the role of multinational corporations within that system, and the trade related issues facing developing countries and the (former) centrally planned economies. The case for a multilateral trading system within an evolving GATT framework, rather than emergent new trading blocs with unilaterally and regionally based trading arrangements, is strongly advocated.

But at the same time trade can be environmentally damaging by encouraging higher overall resource production and use, shifting production to countries with lower environmental standards, and raising energy use and pollution linked to transportation. In order to determine whether world trade leads to a more efficient allocation of resource extraction and use, this study examines the so-called ‘‘upstream resource requirements’’ of traded commodities. These take into account the additional materials, energy, water and land used in the extraction and production of traded goods, but left behind as ...

arises because a country specializes in the production of certain goods and services and thus produces more than enough to supply the domestic demand. Obviously it must export the surplus to continue the specialization. To receive a return for its exports, a country must ultimately import either goods or services. Imports pay for exports -both of which may consist of services as well as of goods. Services, the socalled "invisible items" of international trade, have occasioned confusion in the minds of many because until recently only the commodities actually exchanged have appeared on the nati...

Introduction to International Trade Finance covers the complete cycle of international trade and explains the roles of the specialist operators. Introduction to International Trade Finance aims to: *Guide the reader through every phase of typical trade transactions, examining in detail the relationships between the various parties involved and explaining the facilities employed. *Demonstrate the range of banking instruments and techniques available to exporters and importers which enable them to enter into contracts, confident that whichever method of settlement they agree upon can be provided...

The history of the development of the theory of international trade is an interesting one. It is not unusual to conceive that economists would first develop a theory of exchange based on two individuals of the same country and then applies the theory to international transactions.59
