5 Global Corporate “Chess Board”

13 A.T. Kearney/Foreign Policy Globalization Index

14 Global Top-20Politica Globalization Index = Political Engagement + Technology Contact/Transfer + Personal Contact + Trade and FDI Foreign Policy and A.T. Kearney Annual Globalization Report Czech Republic U.S. Singapore Ireland

15 Merchandise Exports (US$ billions) U.S. Germany Japan France UK Ire MexKor

16 Merchandise Imports (US$ billions) U.S. Germany Japan France UK Ire MexKor

17 Foreign Direct Investment - Out (% of World Total) U.S. Germany Japan France UK

18 Foreign Direct Investment - In (% of World Total) U.S. Germ Japan France UK

19 Comparative Advantage o Germany: o 10 units of factor inputs (labor & capital) to produce 1 keg of beer o 2 units of factor inputs (labor & capital) to produce 1 box of pretzels o United States: o 15 units of factor inputs to produce 1 keg of beer; o 5 units of factor inputs to produce 1 box of pretzels; Which country should manufacture and export only beer? Which country should manufacture and export only pretzels?

20 Comparative Advantage Germany: 10 labor  pretzels = 5 pretzels per beer * beer 2 labor US: 15 labor  pretzels = 3 pretzels per beer * beer 5 labor * Opportunity Costs … price of beer in terms of pretzels, using labor as common denominator = =

21 Comparative Advantage Germany: 10 labor  pretzels = 5 pretzels per beer beer 2 labor US: 15 labor  pretzels = 3 pretzels per beer beer 5 labor o Germany has absolute advantage in both beer and pretzels o U.S. has comparative advantage in beer, and should manufacture and export beer to Germany o Germany has comparative advantage in pretzels, and should manufacture and export pretzels to the U.S.

29 Trade and Investment Policy

30 Free Trade?

31 How Nations Influence Trade and Investment Activity Through Policy o Overt/Visible Policies o Supporting/Strategic Policies o Follow-up Questions: o How well to these policies work? o What are the side effects? o Retaliation? o How might managers of MNCs respond?

32 Overt Policy Alternatives o Restrict Imports (tariffs, quotas, VERs) o Restrict FDI o Incoming (F/X controls, local content) o Outgoing (tax code, expatriation disincentives) o Restrict Exports (DoD restrictive munitions) o Export Promotion (subsidies, tax credits) o Import Promotion (tax credits, favors) o FDI Incentives (subsidies for infrastructure, training & development, market access) o Preferential Govt. Procurement

33 Cost of Import Protection Japanese Rice Market Domestic Supply Domestic Demand Domestic Quantity Produced Domestic Quantity Consumed World Price

34 Cost of Import Protection Japanese Rice Market Domestic Supply Domestic Demand New Domestic Quantity Produced New Domestic Quantity Consumed World Price Tariff Price

35 Tariff Cost of Import Protection Japanese Rice Market Domestic Supply Domestic Demand New Domestic Quantity Produced New Domestic Quantity Consumed World Price Tariff Price Extra Revenue Deadweight Loss

36 Tariff Cost of Import Protection Japanese Rice Market Domestic Supply Domestic Demand New Domestic Quantity Produced New Domestic Quantity Consumed World Price Tariff Price Extra Revenue Deadweight Loss # Jobs saved? At what price?

37 Cost to Domestic Consumers per Job Saved Extra Revenue for Firm Tariff Revenue to Government Deadweight Loss $800 million + 10,000 jobs $80,000 /job =

38 What is Globalization? Perspective of Consumers vs. “Regular Joes” o Outsourcing o Cheaper Products vs. Job Loss o Fair Trade -- Product and Production Standards o Working standards o Living wage o Environmental standards

39 Outsourcing Bogeyman  “…a new way of doing international trade…a good thing” Gregory Mankiw, Bush Administration Economic Adviser  “…CEOs who outsource are economic ‘Benedict Arnolds’” John Kerry, 2004 Presidential Candidate  “…owe apology to every worker in America” Tom Daschle, 2004 Senate Minority Leader Job Losses in Manufacturing…? u What kind of jobs? u Causal factors –Outsourcing vs. technology and productivity gains? u Would occur anyway

61 Sharply Depreciating Peso vs. Dollar

62 A Medium of Exchange: The Linkage Between Currencies World Market for Euros World Market for Dollars Price = $ / € Price = € / $ S D S D $1.30 / € €.77 / $ Same “market”…different perspective.

63 Linkage Between Currencies World Market for Euros World Market for Dollars Price = $ / € Price = € / $ S D S D €.77/$ D’ S’ $1.30/ € $1.35/ € €.74/$

64 Other Forces Causing Change o Foreign Direct Investment o Foreign Portfolio Investment o MNCs o Government Debt Instruments o Currency Arbitrage and Speculation o Governmental Intervention o Official and Unofficial “pegs” o International Agreements (e.g., G-7, the Euro) o Posturing (e.g., “talking” the dollar down)

66 Short-term F/X Management o Currency Hedges o Forward Contracts o Options o Negotiation of Ratcheted Pricing Schedule o Adjustment of Prices and Target Profits o Lower foreign prices to keep market share when home currency appreciates … lowers profit margin o Raise foreign prices to keep profit margins when home currency depreciates … less price competitive

67 Today: US Dealer to Import BMWs o Sales Contract: o Quantity: 100 BMW 750s o Price: € 100,000 each o Payment: Due in 3 months o Value of Sales Contract = o € 10.0 million o Spot Rate = $1.30 / € o $13.0 million

68 In Three Months: Payment is Due Uncovered Transaction o Euro appreciates o New spot rate = $1.35 / € o € 10.0 million o Adjusted Value of Sales Contract o “Risk penalty” = $0.05 per € traded o $13.5 million o US Dealer’s Loss = $500,000

69 Today: US Dealer to Import BMWs Hedged Transaction o Sales Contract: o Quantity: 100 BMW 535s o Price: € 100,000 each o Payment: Due in 3 months o Value of Sales Contract = o € 10 million o at 90-day Forward Rate = $1.305 / € o “Insurance premium” = $0.005 per € traded o $13.05 million

70 In Three Months: Payment is Due Hedged Transaction o Euro appreciates o New spot rate = $ 1.35 / € (Doesn’t matter!!!) o € 10 million o Adjusted Value of Sales Contract o Locked-in Forward Rate = $ 1.305 / € o $13.05 million o Cost of Hedge (insurance premium) = $50,000

71 In Three Months: Payment is Due Hedged Transaction o Euro Depreciates o New spot rate = $ 1.25 / € o € 10 million o Adjusted Value of Sales Contract o Locked-in Forward Rate = $ 1.305 / € (Spot better!!) o $12.5 million o Currency Windfall - Cost of Hedge = $450,000

72 Medium-Term F/X Management o Balance sheet hedge o Match foreign assets with same level of foreign liabilities in same currency o Cash flow hedge o Match foreign A/P with A/R in same currency

73 Long-Term F/X Management o Shift sourcing and procurement o Shift production o Cut costs / improve productivity
