Intra-Industry Trade
Author: Cameron Thies
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 080479720X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Intra-Industry Trade calls for us to rethink what trade most often looks like and how it shapes global institutions, fostering peace among states. Cameron G. Thies and Timothy M. Peterson argue that our understanding of trade has not kept pace with its changing nature in the 21st century; existing models, rooted in Ricardo's theories, regard trade uniformly as taking place between entities and countries that offer different commodities and operate according to the logic of comparative advantage. Though this type of exchange does take place, intra-industry trade—international trade of the same or similar commodities, in which foreign and domestic brands compete—is increasingly prevalent. The authors argue that our current academic and policymaking focus on the total volume of trade, rather than its composition, is misplaced. Trade composition matters, not just because it gives us a fuller understanding of how trade works, but also because intra-industry trade increases the likelihood of positive institutional relations and cooperation between states. To illustrate their point, the authors examine the effects that intra-industry trade has on Preferential Trade Agreement formation, its tendency to lessen World Trade Organization disputes and militarized conflict, and its ability to pave the way for new and fortified alliances.

Business, Industry, and Trade in the Tropics
Author: Jacob Wood
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000555054
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
The tropics is an area of enormous opportunity and potential. The countries situated between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are largely developing in nature. There is huge interest in the types of business investments made in Southeast Asia, Central Africa, and the Amazonian tropical belts. These tropical regions continue to face opportunities and challenges in attracting foreign direct investments as well as the need to complement and/or compete with larger economies external to the tropics. This book provides an empirical assessment of the key sociocultural, economic, environmental, and political factors that influence the business dynamics of organizations operating within the tropics. It will address but is not limited to topics such as attracting businesses to the tropics, facilitating smooth, stable conditions for business operations and sustainability, national institutions, and regulations that shape the way business is done, and the increasing deployment of new technologies and entrepreneurial innovations which are defining the global tropics as a distinct business region. It will offer readers a key focus for developing a deeper understanding of the factors and frameworks that influence and shape business activity in the area. While the primary audience for the book consists of academics and students from the fields of economics (environmental economics, developmental economics), business, international trade, tourism, and area studies, it will also provide a practical resource for government policy analysts wanting to fully appreciate some of the key economic and business issues facing the region.

Determinants of Intra-Industry Trade
Author: Janice G. Yee
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000524663
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
While most international economists will note that trade is beneficial, they will also comment on the adjustment costs that are usually incurred when factors of production, most notably labor, are redistributed between industries. A goal for many policymakers is to make that adjustment process easier and smoother for the factors involved, thereby highlighting the benefits of trade, rather than the costs of trade. But what are these industries that experience smoother adjustment costs? There is a growing constituency which believes that intra-industry or like trade is a characteristic of an industry with low adjustment costs. First published in 1997, this book hopes to address some of these issues and add to the growing discussion on the topic of intra-industry trade, with special attention placed on the relationship between the U.S. and Canada.

The Growth of Intra-Industry Trade
Author: Leonie L. Stone
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000524884
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
First Published in 1997. The explosive growth of world trade in the last three decades is unparalleled in history, both due to the rapid increase in volume and to the change in the composition of trade. Historically, trade between nations has consisted largely of exchanges of products that were very different from each other, neither closely substitutable in consumption nor production processes. However, in this latest period of trade expansion, the majority of the increase in world trade has been in manufactured goods, many of which are highly substitutable differentiated products. This has led to growth in intra-industry trade, the cross-shipment of similar products. This study links increased shares of intra-industry trade with growth in newly-industrializing countries. To examine these questions, this study first gives a review of existing literature, both theoretical and empirical. Five hypotheses on intra-industry trade are then discussed. A model is then presented and estimated, using data on bilateral trade between the United States and its five major trading partners, Canada, Japan, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
