Download or read book Trade Enabling Investments in Networked Markets written by Matthew Lloyd Elliott and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many markets not all buyers can trade with all sellers. These markets can be represented as a network where the buyers and sellers are the nodes and weighted edges represent potential gains from trade between buyer-seller pairs. In these networked markets the structure of the network will affect who trades with whom and the terms of these trades. In particular, agents' alternative trading opportunities might provide outside options for them. In Chapter 2 I identify a parsimonious mapping from the network structure into market outcomes that captures these intuitions and is stable insofar as no buyer-seller pair could do better by instead trading with each other. In many instances networked markets are formed endogenously through investments that enable trade. In the remainder of Chapter 2 I explore such investments when they are directed. For example, two countries might build a pipeline to enable them to trade natural gas. In Chapter 3 I consider undirected investments in search, where the set of the possible trading opportunities that are discovered, and can subsequently be utilized, depends on the search efforts of the agents. For example, workers and firms might exert effort searching for each other in the labor market. This dissertation explores the nature and size of inefficiencies in these trade enabling investments.

Download or read book Peace and Prosperity through World Trade written by Jean-Pierre Lehmann and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) was created in 1919 by business leaders who described themselves as 'merchants of peace' and whose motto was 'world peace through world trade'. Since then a number of initiatives, including the founding of the WTO in 1995, have provided the proper regulatory conditions for a dramatic increase in world trade. This has generated unprecedented growth and allowed many countries to enjoy great gains in wealth and welfare. Yet despite these gains we are still far from achieving the ICC's goal of world peace through world trade. This 2010 book provides a broad overview of the forces that shape international trade and global interdependence, showing business leaders and entrepreneurs how we can address the shortcomings of the multilateral trading system. Most importantly, it shows how we can turn international trade into one of the key global instruments to achieve peace and prosperity in the twenty-first century.

Book excerpt: "This report tries to understand how barriers affect the different stakeholders in international trade from a supply chain perspective. Since trade barriers are a broad subject, the report is necessarily limited in scope. First, the report considers a country's business environment and infrastructure only as they affect international trade. Their effects on the domestic economy are outside the scope of the study; 2) Second, even though trade between countries includes goods, services and factors of production, this report focuses on goods. (Manufactured) goods make up the majority of global exports and are most relevant to international supply chains. The economic modelling in this report includes all non-fuel trade; 3) Third, governments propose many arguments in favour of tariffs, quotas and non-tariff barriers, for example for goods that have strategic value." - - Extracted from Pg. 8.

This book was released on 2014-05-07 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transformative economic benefits of the Internet are under threat, as increasing numbers of governments move to impose onerous limits on information flow. The international community must take action to ensure the free flow of information online. Governments should honor existing international obligations including under the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement, prevent trade barriers created by information regulation, and develop new international rules that provide enhanced protection against these trade barriers of the 21st century. To realize the full potential of the Internet as a global marketplace and platform for innovation, policymakers in the United States, the European Union, and elsewhere should pursue three steps to break down barriers to free trade and Internet commerce: ....
Download or read book Trade Facilitation written by Patricia Sourdin and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'In the last decade trade costs have been a subject of intense study in the international trade literature. Richard Pomfret and Patricia Sourdin provide a timely and accessible summary of what we know so far. Their comprehensive review of what we have learned is paired here with important new research in the area of trade facilitation. This is important reading for policymakers interested in international trade and trade-related economic development.' Russell Hillberry, University of Melbourne, Australia 'Few topics are as important in international economics as trade costs. Surprisingly, there are few studies that explicitly address that issue in detail. This makes the book of great value to both professional economists and policy makers worldwide helping them to understand the different concepts of trade costs, their determinants and how to reduce them using trade facilitation measures. The book is very well written and a must read for any person that has an interest in trade costs!' Matthias Busse, Ruhr-University of Bochum, Germany This up-to-date and informative book provides a comprehensive treatment of the costs of trading across borders and of trade facilitation policies. While traditional tariff and non-tariff barriers to trade have been reduced, international trade continues to involve higher costs in money and time than domestic trade. These include not only transport costs, that are determined by distance and commodity characteristics, but also at-the-border and behind-the-border costs which can be reduced by appropriate policies. Research on trade costs has flourished since the turn of the century, and this book by Patricia Sourdin and Richard Pomfret, takes stock of our increased knowledge of the nature and magnitude of trade costs, analysing why they are high and how they can be reduced to increase the gains from trade. Trade Facilitation will appeal to economists and policymakers at the national level and in multinational institutions, researchers and postgraduate students interested in international trade and trade policy, as well as students in international business.

Download or read book World Development Report 2020 written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global value chains (GVCs) powered the surge of international trade after 1990 and now account for almost half of all trade. This shift enabled an unprecedented economic convergence: poor countries grew rapidly and began to catch up with richer countries. Since the 2008 global financial crisis, however, the growth of trade has been sluggish and the expansion of GVCs has stalled. Meanwhile, serious threats have emerged to the model of trade-led growth. New technologies could draw production closer to the consumer and reduce the demand for labor. And trade conflicts among large countries could lead to a retrenchment or a segmentation of GVCs. World Development Report 2020: Trading for Development in the Age of Global Value Chains examines whether there is still a path to development through GVCs and trade. It concludes that technological change is, at this stage, more a boon than a curse. GVCs can continue to boost growth, create better jobs, and reduce poverty provided that developing countries implement deeper reforms to promote GVC participation; industrial countries pursue open, predictable policies; and all countries revive multilateral cooperation.
