Introduction
International trade and finance have never been more important.
Signs of globalization are everywhere.
1-‹#›
1-‹#›
Extent of Markets: factor markets tend to be national in scope, G&S markets international. This really gives rise to Int’l Trade as a field, because if factor markets and G&S markets were international in scope, we’d essentially be studying one economy. If no markets were international in scope there’d be no international trade.
Exceptions: factor that is international in scope: skilled labor. G&S that are not int’l in scope: haircuts, certain foods, etc.
Marketing considerations: steering wheels must be on the right if you want to sell cars in South Africa.
International Trade: Questions
We’ll explore these questions:
What are the effects of trade?
What determines the basis of trade?
What determines the value and volume of trade?
What factors impede the flow of trade?
What happens when policies impede the flow of trade?
1-‹#›

International Monetary Economics: Questions
We’ll explore these questions:
What is a country’s balance of payments?
How are exchange rates determined?
What macroeconomic effects does trade cause?
What makes capital flow between countries?
What policies should countries pursue?

The Nature of Merchandise Trade
The volume and value of world exports have grown tremendously.
The value of global exports was $17.8 trillion in 2011; it was $2 trillion in 1985.
Over the past 40 years, global trade has grown faster than global production.

Main point: exports have grown more rapidly than production, indicating an increased reliance on international trade.
Geographical Composition of Trade
North America, Europe, and Asia dominate global exporting and importing.
These regions tend to trade with other countries in the same region.
