COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE Nation can produce product at lower opportunity cost. What is an Opportunity cost? Products that country is unable to make in order to produce something else. When a country specializes in a particular product, it sacrifices production of other products.

MEASURING TRADE Balance of Trade: difference between value of country’s exports and the value of its imports. Balance of Payments: difference over time between the total flow of money into a country and the total flow of money out.

TRADE CONTROLS: PROTECTIONISM Because they protect domestic industries by reducing foreign competition, the use of controls to restrict free trade is often called protectionism. Quotas/Embargo Dumping

TRADE CONTROLS: TARIFFS, QUOTAS, EMBARGOS Tariffs: Government taxes on imports that raise the price of imported goods and make than less competitive with domestic goods. Quotas/Embargo: –Quota is a government restriction on the quantity of a good that can be imported. –Embargo is an extreme form of quota which bans import of goods from a country for economic or political reasons. Subsidiaries: Government payments given to certain industries (such as farming) to offset the cost of production.

TRADE CONTROLS: SUBSIDIARIES Subsidiaries: Government payments given to certain industries (such as farming) to help offset some of their costs of production. These subsidies allow the farmers to lower the price of their goods to a point below that of imported competitors’ goods.

TRADE CONTROL DEBATE PROSCONS Protect specific industries. Protect new or struggling industries. Shield industries vital to national defense. Restricts free trade; countries cannot compete freely. Doesn’t promote level playing field; gives special privileges to some. Cannot bring goods to fair/open market. Detrimental to world economy; nations cannot focus on what they do best.

REDUCING TRADE BARRIERS Trade Agreements/Organizations World Trade Organization (monitors trade policies) Financial Support for Troubled Economies –International Monetary Fund (loans money to countries with troubled economies) –World Bank (gives support to poor and developing countries)
