    Mercantilist Theory

    y Mercantilist theory proposed that a country

    should try to achieve a favorable balance of

    trade (export more than it imports)

    y Neomercantilist policy also seeks a favorable

    balance of trade, but its purpose is to achieve

    some social or political objective

    Mercantilist Theory

    MERCANTILISM

    Trade Theory Formed During 1500 to 1800 AD

    Countries to Have More Exports Than Imports

    Countrys Wealth Depends On Its Holdings ofTreasure - Gold

    Dependence on Raw Material Rather ThanManufactured Goods

    TRADE THEORIES

    THEORY OF ABSOLUTE ADVANTAGEAdam Smith in 1776 developed theory of

    absolute advantage

    Highlighting that countrys wealth is basedon its available goods and services

    Some countries produce goods more

    efficiently than other countries

    This is good for free trade

    If consumer gets choice of cheaper product,

    why buy expensive domestic product?DR.MANOHAR PANDIT

    TRADE THEORIESTHEORY OF ABSOLUTE ADVANTAGE

    If trade was unrestricted then each countrywill produce only those goods where theyhave competitive advantage

    Specialisation increase countrys efficiency Labour more skilled by repeating same task

    No changeover time, more skills

    Long production runs, efficient productionMarketplace would determine what countryshould produce,

    Is the advantage natural or acquired?

    TRADE THEORIES

    Natural advantage

    Climate, natural resources and human

    resources availability

    Most countries import natural resourcesfrom other countries whose resources are

    plentiful

    USA cannot grow tea and Sri Lanka cannotgrow wheat

    Variation among countries in natural

    advantages helps in international tradeDR.MANOHAR PANDIT

    TRADE THEORIES

    Acquired advantage

    Countries that produce manufacturedgoods and services competitively have

    acquired advantageMost of the world trade is of manufactured goods and services

    Japan exports steel

    Denmark exports silverware

    Technology changes alter relativepositions of the countries due to new

    usage, substitutesDR.MANOHAR PANDIT

    TRADE THEORIES

    COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE DAVID RICORDO

    Countries With Absolute Advantage Should Give up Less

    Efficient Output To Produce More Efficient Output

    CostCost ComparisionComparision

    Labour Cost of Production in Hours

    1 unit of Wine 1 unit of Cloth

    Portugal 80 90

    England 120 100

    Opportunity CostOpportunity Cost

    Wine Cloth

    Portugal 80/90=8/9 90/80=9/8

    England 120/100=12/10 100/120=10/12

    Country has Comparative Advantage if Opportunity Cost is

    lower to produce at home than in foreign country

    DR.MANOHAR PANDIT

    TRADE THEORIESCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE

    Eng - Cost of 1 unit of Wine = 1.2 units of Cloth

    Port - Cost of 1 unit of Wine = 0.89 units of Cloth

    England will gain to Import 1 unit of Wine at less

    than 1.2 units of Cloth. England to export cloth andimport Wine

    Portugal will gain to Import more than 0.89 units of

    Cloth for 1 unit of Wine. Portugal to import cloth

    and export WineSaving of labour hours can help country to produce

    more, England should give up production of Wine

    and use labour for production of Cloth

    Theory of Comparative Advantage

    Through specialization and free trade total

    global output can increase even if one country

    has an absolute advantage in the production

    of all products

    Theories of Specialization

    Both absolute and comparative advantagetheories are based on specialization

    Assumptions policymakers question:

    full employment economic efficiency

    division of gains

    transport costs services

    production networks

    mobility

    Factor Endowment

    (Hecksher-Ohlin) Theory

    A nation will export the goods whose production

    requires intensive use of the nations relatively

    abundant and cheap factors and import the

    goods whose production requires intensive use

    of its scarce and expensive factors.

    Trade Pattern Theories

    How much a country will depend on

    trade if it follows a free trade policy

    What types of products countries will

    export and import

    With which partners countries will

    primarily trade

    DR.MANOHAR PANDIT

    Theory Of Country Size

    Countries with large land areas are apt tohave varied climates and variety of natural resources

    They are generally more self-sufficientthan smaller countries are due to size ofeconomy and production scale

    Large countries production and marketcenters are more likely to be located at agreater distance from other countries,raising the transport costs of foreign trade

    Factor-Proportions Theory A countrys relative endowments of land,

    labor, and capital will determine the relativecosts of these factors

    Factor costs will determine which goods thecountry can produce most efficiently

    Country-similarity Theory

    Most trade today occurs among high-incomecountries because they share similar market

    segments and because they produce and

    consume so much more than emerging

    economies - Economic similarity Much of the pattern of two-way trading partners

    may be explained by cultural similarity between

    the countries, political and economic agreements,

    and by the distance between them - LocationSimilarity, Cultural Similarity

    Independence Interdependence Dependence

    Product Life Cycle (PLC) Theory

    All Phases of PLC Affects Production

    Location, Market Location, Competitive

    Factors and Production Technology

    Companies will manufacture products first inthe countries in which they were researched

    and developed, almost always developed

    countries

    Over the products life cycle, production will

    shift to foreign locations, especially to

    developing economies as the product

    reaches the stages of maturity and declineDR.MANOHAR PANDIT

    The Porter Diamond

    Four conditions as important for competitive

    superiority:

    demand conditions factor conditions

    related and supporting industries

    firm strategy, structure, and rivalry

    DR.MANOHAR PANDIT

  • 8/4/2019 PPT RTA WTO TT

    27/73

    Limitations of the Porter Diamond Theory

    Production factors and finished goods

    are only partially mobile internationally

    The cost and feasibility of transferring

    production factors rather than

    exporting finished goods internationally

    will determine which alternative is

    better

    DR.MANOHAR PANDIT

    The Relationship

    between Trade and Factor Mobility

    Capital and labor move internationally

    to gain more income and flee adverse

    political situations

    Although international mobility of

    production factors may be a substitute

    for trade, the mobility may stimulate

    trade through sales of components,equipment, and complementary

    products

    IMFIMFThe currency value of the SDR is determined by

    summing the values in U.S. dollars, based on market

    exchange rates, of a basket of major currencies (theU.S. dollar, Euro, Japanese yen, and pound sterling).

    The SDR currency value is calculated daily (except

    on IMF holiday or whenever the IMF is closed for

    business) and the valuation basket is reviewed and

    adjusted every five years.
