3、reasonsAbsolute advantageComparative advantage3.Other reasons1.Resource reasonsThe uneven distribution of resources around the world is one of the basic reasons why nations began and continue to trade with each other.1)Favorable climatic conditions and terrainClimatic conditions and terrain are very

4、 important for agricultural produces.The difference in these factors enables some countries to grow certain plants and leaves other countries with the only choice to import the produces they consume.For example,Colombia and Brazil have the ideal climate for growing coffee beans but other countries d

5、ont.Then Colombia and Brazil have the opportunity to export coffee beans and coffee to countries worldwide.Another example is that the US Great Plains states have the ideal climate and terrain for raising wheat.This has made the US a big wheat exporter.2)Natural resourcesSome countries are the major

6、 suppliers of certain natural resources because the distribution of natural resources around the world is somewhat haphazard.The Middle East West Europe and Japan need is imported from the Middle East the US oil military consumption in Europe and Asia is largely purchased from that area.3)Skilled wo

7、rkersUS,Japan,and western European countries have skilled workers who are able to manufacture sophisticated equipment and machinery such as jet aircrafts and computers,etc.Other countries,since they dont have well-trained engineers and workers,must import the equipment from these countries.4)Capital

8、 resourcesDeveloping countries need to modernize their industries and economies with advanced machinery,equipment and plant that they are not yet able to manufacture because of the lack of capital.This has given rise to the need for developing international trade.5)Favorable geographic location and

9、transport costsThere are many examples that countries have developed close economic relationships chiefly because they are geographically close to each other.Sino-Japanese trade relationship is to some degree determined by geographic proximity and low transport cost.6)Insufficient productionSome cou

10、ntries cannot produce enough items they need.UK does not have a large enough agricultural population.only 5%of its population is engaged in agriculture and they mainly grow fruits and flowers.UK then has to import 60%of its total agricultural consumption.2.Economic reasonsIn addition to getting the

11、products they need,countries also want to gain economically by trading with each other.It is made possible by varied prices for the same commodity around the world,reflecting the differences in the cost of production.1)Absolute advantageAdam Smiths-each country could produce one or more commodities

12、at a lower real cost than its trading partners.It then follows that each country will benefit from specialization in those commodities in which it has an“absolute advantage”,exporting them and importing other commodities which it produces at a higher real cost than does another country.Absolute-cost

13、 ExampleFrom the example,We can see clearly that Scotland should specialize in the production of cloth on which it has a cost advantage.Days of Labor Required to ProduceCountryCloth(1 bolt)Wine(1 barrel)Scotland30120Portugal100202)Comparative advantageDavid Ricardo-absolute cost advantages are not a

14、 necessary condition for two nations to gain from trade with each other.Instead,trade will benefit both nations provided only that their relative cost,that is,the ratios of their real costs,are different for two or more commodities.In short,trade depends on differences in comparative cost,and one na

15、tion can profitably trade with another even though its real costs are higher(or lower)in every commodity.Comparative-cost ExampleClearly the United States benefits from specializing in cars,which it produces more cheaply than Brazil,and trading with Brazil for some of the computers it produces more

16、cheaply.productU.S.Brazil100 cars2 41,000 computers343)Other reasonsAll in all,in todays complex economic world,neither individuals nor nations are self-sufficient.Nations have utilized different economic resources;people have developed different skills.This is the foundation of international trade

23、arge enough to enjoy the economies of scale and to be able to compete in the market.Reasons for TradeReasons for Trade RestrictionRestrictionUnfair competition.Foreign firms may receive subsidies or other government benefits.They may be dumping(selling goods abroad at below cost price to capture a m

24、arket).Balance of payments.Reducing imports improves the balance of trade.Cultural Identity This is not really an economic argument but more political and cultural.Many countries wish to protect their countries from what they see as an Americanization or commercialization of their countries.Reasons

25、for TradeReasons for Trade RestrictionRestrictionThe Senile industry argument.If industries are declining and inefficient they may require large investment to make them efficient again.Protection for these industries would act as an incentive to for firms to invest and reinvent themselves.However pr

26、otectionism could also be an excuse for protecting inefficient firms.Different MeansDifferent Means of of ProtectionProtection(1)Tariff barriersA tariff is a duty or fee levied on goods being imported into a country.It can be a revenue tariff,which is collected mainly for income purpose,or a protect

27、ion tariff,which is collected in order to protect the domestic market.(2)Non-tariff barriersQuotaThis is a quantitative restrictionquantitative restriction or upper limit in terms of physical quantity or value.The upper limit can be set on global(first come first served)basis or on country basis.An

28、absolute quota is one that cannot be exceeded and a tariff quota is one that requires low or no duties below the limit but high duties or penalty above the limit.Voluntary Export RestraintsVoluntary Export RestraintsVoluntary export restraints enable one country to force onto another country through

29、 bilateral agreement a low rate of increase in export volume.In many case,it is not really a“voluntary”measure taken on the part of the exporting country but rather than a measure to avoid harsher punitive actions taken by the importing country.Import licenseImport licenseAn import license is a perm

30、it for import,which can be independent or combined with quotas.Product standardProduct standardMany non-tariff trade barriers of ingenious new ones are constantly being developed to restrict trade.Some are technical standards,such as antipollution regulations that require automobiles to meet certain

31、 exhaust emission standards.Others may be ostensibly be introduced for reasons of health,safety,sanitary or national security but are actually intended to restrict trade.Government Procurement PolicyGovernment Procurement PolicyThis policy requires that a specified percentage of purchases by a gover

32、nment be made from domestic firms rather than foreign firms.It can be a non-tariff barrier to imports,if the purchasing processes are biased against foreign products,as they often are.In many countries the governments buy relatively few imported products and instead they buy mostly.Chapter 2 Trade T
