1.2 International Trade and the Nation’s Standard of Living
Economic relations between countries are measured by the ratio of their exports and imports of goods and services to their GDP (openness= (Ex+Im)/GDP) Openness is higher for smaller and developing countries, but why? (fig. 1-1) In general, trade grows faster than production (fig.1-2) Standards of living depend on trade: 1) Many raw materials are imported from abroad. 2) Many products if produced domestically will cost more than abroad, so its better to import them.
