International investment environment
Political environment: stability, policies, and regulations that affect foreign investment.
New trade theory departs from the assumption of perfect competition and focuses on the role of increasing returns to scale and monopolistic competition.
Classical trade theory posits that specialization in production based on comparative advantage results in increased production and consumption in all countries.

Balance of trade
The balance of trade is a crucial component of the international balance of payments. It measures the value of a country's exports minus the value of its imports. A positive balance of trade indicates that a country is exporting more goods and services than it is importing, while a negative balance of trade indicates the opposite.

If demand increases by a factor of 4, it is optimal to increase batch size by a factor of 2 and produce (order) twice as often. Flow time should decrease as demand increases.

Trade Liberalization
• There is some evidence that low and middle income countries which had relatively free trade had higher average economic growth than those that followed import substituting industrialization.
The knowledge created when starting an industry may be not appropriable (may be a public good) because of a lack of property rights.
If establishing a system of property rights is not feasible, then high tariffs would be a second-best policy to encourage growth in new industries.

This is not a core chapter and I would skip it, except for sections 7-4 to 7-8 dealing with theEuropean Union (EU), The European Free Trade Association, the North American FreeTrade Agreement (NAFTA), and the Southern Common Market (Mercosur).2. I would take two classes to cover the material. Case Studies 7-1 to 7-4 can be used for a very stimulating class discussion.Answers to Problems:1. If Nation A imposes a 100 percent ad valorem tariff on imports of commodity X fromNation B and Nation C, Nation A will produce commodity X domestically because thedomestic price of commodity X is $10 as compared with the tariff-inclusive price of$16 if Nation A imported commodity X from Nation B and $12 if Nation A importedcommodity X from nation C.2. a. If Nation A forms a customs union with Nation B, Nation A will import commodityX from Nation B at the price of $8 instead of producing it itself at $10 or importing itfrom Nation C at the tariff-inclusive price of $12.b. The formation by Nation A of a customs union with Nation B leads to trade creationonly because Nation A replaces the domestic production of commodity X at Px=$10with tariff-free imports of commodity X from Nation B at Px=$8.3. If Nation A imposes a 50 percent ad valorem tariff on imports of commodity X fromNation B and Nation C, Nation A will import commodity X from nation C at the tariff-inclusive price of $9 instead of producing commodity X itself or importing it fromNation B at the tariff-inclusive price of $12.4. a. If Nation A forms a customs union with Nation B, Nation A will import commodityX from Nation B at the price of $8 instead of importing it from Nation C at the tariff- inclusive price of $9.b. The formation by Nation A of a customs union with Nation B leads not only to tradecreation but also to trade diversion because it replaces lower-cost imports of commodity X of $6 (from the point of view of Nation A as a whole) with higher priced imports of Commodity X from Nation B at $8.Specifically, Nation A's importers do not import commodity X from Nation C becausethe tariff-inclusive price of commodity X from Nation C is $9 as compared with theno-tariff price of $8 for imports of commodity X from Nation B. However, since thegovernment of Nation A collects the $3 tariff per unit on imports of commodity Xfrom Nation C, the net effective price for imports of commodity X from Nation C isreally $6 for Nation A as a whole.-54-5. a. See Figure 1 below.b. The net gain from the trade-diverting customs union shown in Figure 1 is given byC'JJ'+B'HH'-MJ'H'N. As contrasted with the case in Figure 7-1 in the text, however,the sum of the areas of the two triangles (measuring gains) is here greater than the area the rectangle (measuring the loss). Thus, the nation would now gain from the formation of a custom union. Had we drawn the figure on graph paper, we would have been able to measure the net gain in monetary terms also.6. A customs union that leads to both trade creation and trade diversion is more likely to lead to a net positive welfare gain of the nation joining the union (1) the smaller is the relative inefficiency of the union member in relation to the non-union member and (2) the higher is the level of the tariff imposed by the customs union on the non-union member.7. The dynamic benefits resulting from the formation of a customs union are (1) increasedcompetition, (2) economies of scale, (3) stimulus to investment, and (4) better utilizationof economic resources. These are likely to be much more significant than the static benefits.8. See Figure 2 below. The formation of the customs union has no effect.9. NAFTA created much more controversy because the very low wages in Mexico led togreat fears of large job losses in the U. S.10. The possible cost to the U.S. from EU92 arose from the increased efficiency andcompetitiveness of the E.U. The benefit arose because a more rapid growth in the EUspills into a greater demand for American products, which benefits the U. S.Fig 7.1xPFig 7.2xP-55-Multiple-choice Questions:1. Which of the following statements is correct?*a. in a customs union, member nations apply a uniform external tariffb. in a free-trade area, member nations harmonize their monetary and fiscal policiesc. within a customs union there is unrestricted factor movementd. a customs union is a higher form of economic integration than a common market2.

Trade diversion arises in a customs union if it:a. increases trade among union members and with nonmember nationsb. reduces trade among union members and with nonmember nations*c. increases trade among members but reduces trade with non-membersd. reduces trade among union members but increases it with nonmembers5. Customs union usually results in:a. trade diversion onlyb. trade creation only*c. both trade creation and trade diversiond. we cannot say-56-6. The formation of a customs union that leads only to trade creation and all economic resources of member nations are fully employed before and after the formation of the customs union leads to an:*a. increase in the welfare of member and nonmember nationsb. increase in the welfare of member nations onlyc. increase in the welfare of nonmember nations onlyd. increase or decrease in the welfare of member and nonmember nations7. A customs union that leads to both trade creation and trade diversion:a. increases the welfare of member and nonmember nationsb. reduces the welfare of member and nonmember nationsc. increases the welfare of member nations but reduces that of nonmembers*d. reduces the welfare of nonmembers and may increase or reduce that of members8. A customs union is more likely to lead to trade creation:a. the lower are the pre-union trade barriers of the member countries*b. the lower are the customs union's barriers on trade with the rest of the worldc. the smaller is the number of countries forming the customs union and the smallertheir sized. the more complementary rather than competitive are the economies of the nationsforming the customs union9. Which is not a dynamic benefit from the formation of a customs union?a. increased competitionb. economies of scalec. stimulus to investment*d. trade creation10. The formation of the EU resulted in:a. trade creation in industrial and agricultural productsb. trade diversion in industrial and agricultural products*c. trade creation in industrial products and trade diversion in agricultural productsd. trade diversion in industrial products and trade creation in agricultural products11.

Technical Progress
All technical progress reduces the amount of both labor and capital required to produce any given level of output.
Three different types of Hicksian technical progress:
Growth of Factors of Production
The Rybczynski Theorem
At constant commodity prices, an increase in the ende by a greater proportion the output of the commodity intensive in that factor and will reduce the output of the other commodity.

Technical Progress
All technical progress reduces the amount of both labor and capital required to produce any given level of output.
The production frontier will shift out evenly in all directions at the same rate at which technical progress takes place.

Introduction Most trade theory discussed so far is static in nature. However, factor endowments, technology and tastes can change over time, changing a nation’s comparative advantage. Changes in factor endowments, technology and tastes affect a nation’s production frontier, offer curve, volume and terms of trade, and gains from trade.
Salvatore: International Economics, 10th Edition © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Growth of Factors of Production Increases in labor (L) and capital (K) shift the production frontier outward. Type and degree of shift depend on rate of growth:
If only L grows, output of both commodities increases. Output of the L-intensive commodity will increase faster than that of the K-intensive commodity (the opposite is true if only K grows).
Growth and Trade: The Small-Country Case A “small country” is too small to affect the relative commodity prices at which it trades
(so the nation’s terms of trade remain constant).

Growth of Factors of Production The Rybczynski Theorem
For example, if only L grows in Nation 1, the output of commodity X (the L-intensive commodity) expands more than proportionately, while the output of commodity Y (the K-intensive commodity) declines at constant PX and PY.

Salvatore: International Economics, 10th Edition © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Growth and Trade: The Small-Country Case Growth is protrade if:
output of a nation’s export commodity grows proportionately more than the output of its import commodity at constant relative commodity prices, leading to greater than proportionate expansion of trade. Otherwise, growth is antitrade, or neutral.

Introduction Growth of Factors of Production Technical Progress Growth and Trade: The Small-Country Case Growth and Trade: The Large-Country Case Growth, Change in Tastes, and Trade in Both Nations
Salvatore: International Economics, 10th Edition © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Technical Progress The same rate of neutral technical progress in production of both commodities has the same effect on the production frontier as balanced factor growth. The production frontier will shift out evenly in all directions at the same rate at which technical progress takes place.
Balanced growth is when L and K grow at the same rate, shifting frontier out evenly in all directions. Slope on each frontier are equal where cut by a ray from the origin.

Neutral – increases productivity of L and K in same proportion, so K/L remains the same after the technical progress as before, at unchanged relative factor prices (w/r).
