Chapter 1 An Introduction to InternationalTradeThe exchange of goods and services arises simply because countries differ in their demand for goods and services and in their ability to supply them. There are some special problems in international trade including cultural problems, monetary conversion, etc. International trade has played an important role in the world history as well as in sustaining and modernizing the Chinese economy.§ 1.1 The Need for International Trade国际贸易的产生I . Why does international trade take place? 国际贸易进行的原因Definition:International trade refers to the exchange of goods and services between nations.It is also known as foreign trade or overseas trade. Why does international trade take place? There are many reasons.1.Resources reasons 资源匮乏No nation has all of the commodities that it needs. 没有一个国家拥有需要的全部产品。

Starting as low-income economies in the 1960s, a few economies in East Asia managed,in a few decades, to bridge all or nearly all of the income gap that separated them from the high-income economies of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).Meanwhile many other developing economies stagnated .What made the difference?One way to grow is by developing hitherto unexploited land.Another is to accumulate physical capital:roads, factories, telephone networks.A third is to expand the labor force and increase its education and training.But Hong Kong (China) and Singapore had almost no land.They did invest heavily in physical capital and in educating their populations,but so did many other economies.During the 1960s through the 1980s the Soviet Union accumulated more capital as a share of its gross domestic product (GDP) than did Hong Kong (China), the Republic of Korea, Singapore, or Taiwan (China).And it increased the education of its population in no trivial measure. Yet the Soviets generated far smaller increases in living standards during that period than did these four East Asian economies.Perhaps the difference was that the East Asian economies did not build, work, and grow harder so much as they built, worked, and gr ew smarter.Could knowledge, then, have been behind East Asia’s surge ?If so, the implications are enormous,for that would mean that knowledge is the key to development—that knowledge is development.How important was knowledge for East Asia’s growt h spurt ?This turned out not to be an easy question to answer.The many varieties of knowledge combine with its limited marketability to present a formidable challenge to anyone seeking to evaluate the effect of knowledge on economic growth.How, after all, does one put a price tag on and add up the various types of knowledge?What common denominator lets us sum the knowledge that firms use in their production processes; the knowledge that policymaking institutions use to formulate, monitor, and evaluate policies; the knowledge that people use in their economic transactions and social interactions?What is the contribution of books and journals, of R&D spending, of the stock of information and communications equipment, of the learning and know-how of scientists, engineers, and students? Compound ing the difficulty is the fact that many types of knowledge are accumulated and exchanged almost exclusively within networks, traditional groups, and professional associations.That makes it virtually impossible to put a value on such knowledge.Reflecting these difficulties in quantify ing knowledge,efforts to evaluate the aggregate impact of knowledge on growth have often proceeded indirectly, by postulat ing that knowledge explains the part of growth that cannot be explained by the accumulation of tangible and identifiable factors, such as labor or capital.The growth not accounted for by these factors of production—the residual in the calculation—is attributed to growth in their productivity, that is, using the other factors smarter, through knowledge.This residual is sometimes called the Solow residual, after the economist Robert M. Solow,who spearheaded the approach in the 1950s,and what it purports to measure is conventionally called total factor productivity (TFP) growth.Some also call the Solow residual a measure of our ignorance ,because it represents what we cannot account for. Indeed, we must be careful not to attribute all of TFP growth to knowledge,or there may be other factors lurking in the Solow residual.Many other things do contribute to growth—institutions are an example—but are not reflected in the contributions of the more measurable factors.Their effect is (so far) inextricably woven into TFP growth.In early TFP analyses,physical capital was modeled as the only country-specific factor that could be accumulated to better people’s lives.Technical progress and other intangible factors were said to be universal, equally available to all people in all countries,and thus could not explain growth differencesbetween countries.Their contributions to growth were lumped with the TFP growth numbers.Although this assumption was convenient, it quickly became obvious that physical capital was not the only factor whose accumulation drove economic growth. A study that analyzed variations in growth rates across a large number of countries showed that the accumulation of physical capital explained less than 30 percent of those variations.The rest—70 percent or more—was attributed directly or indirectly to the intangible factors that make up TFP growth (Table 1.1).Later attempts introduced human capital to better explain the causes of economic growth.A higher level of education in the population means that more people can learn to use better technology. Education was surely a key ingredient in the success of four of the fastest-growing East Asian economies: Hong Kong (China), the Republic of Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan (China). Before their transformation from developing into industrializing economies, their school enrollment rates had been much higher than those of other developing countries (Table 1.2).They had also emphasized advanced scientific and technical studies—as measured by their higher ratios of students in technical fields than in even some industrial countries—thus enhancing their capacity to import sophisticated technologies.Moreover, the importance of education for economic growth had long been recognized and established empirically .One study had found that growth in years of schooling explained about 25 percent of the increase in GDP per capita in the United States between 1929 and 1982.Adding education reduced the part of growth that could not be explained,thus shrinking the haystack in which TFP growth (and knowledge) remained hidden.Some analysts even concluded, perhaps too quickly,that physical and human capital, properly accounted for, explained all or virtually all of the East Asian economies’ rapid growth,leaving knowledge as a separate factor out of the picture.One re ason these analysts came up with low values for TFP growth is that they incorporated improvements in labor and equipment into their measurement of factor accumulation.So even their evidence of low TFP growth in East Asia does not refute the importance of closing knowledge gaps.Indeed, it shows that the fast-growing East Asian economies had a successful strategy to close knowledge gaps:by investing in the knowledge embodi ed in physical capital, and by investing in people and institutions to enhance the capability to absorb and use knowledge.Looking beyond East Asia,other growth accounting studies have examined larger samples of countries.Even when human capital is accounted for,the unexplained part of growth remains high.One such study, of 98 countries with an unweighted average growth rate of output per worker of 2.24 percent,found that 34 percent (0.76 percentage point) of that growth came from physical capital accumulation,20 percent (0.45 percentage point) from human capital accumulation,and as much as 46 percent (just over 1 percentage point) from TFP growth.Even more remains to be explained in variations in growth rates across countries. The same study found the combined role of human and physical capital to be as low as 9 percent, leaving the TFP residual at a staggering 91 percent.To take another example:Korea and Ghana had similarly low incomes per capita in the 1950s,but by 1991 Korea’s income per capita was more than seven times Ghana’s.Much of that gap remains unexplained even when human capital is taken into account .All these results are subject to measurement problems.For example, the measured stock of human capital may overstate the actual quantity used in producing goods and services.High rates of school enrollment or attainment (years completed) may not translate into higher rates of economic growthif the quality of education is poor, or if educated people are not employed at their potential because of distortion s in the labor market.Moreover, it is now evident that education without openness to innovation and knowledge will notlead to economic development.The people of the former Soviet Union, like the people of the OECD countries and East Asia, were highly educated, with nearly 100 percent literacy .And for an educated population it is possible,through foreign direct investment and other means,to acquire and use information about the latest production and management innovations in other countries.But the Soviet Union placed severe restrictions on foreign investment, foreign collaboration, and innovation.Its work force did not adapt and change as new information became available elsewhere in the world, and consequently its economy suffered a decline.(excerpted from World Development Report 1998/1999)一些东亚国家在20世纪60年代还是低收入国家,但是在短短的几十年之间,他们成功地弥补了其与经济合作与发展组织(OECD)中高收入国家之间的差距;与此同时,也有许多发展中国家的经济停滞不前。

Good morning/afternoon/evening. It is my great honor to stand before you today to address the topic of "The Future of International Trade and Economic Cooperation." In an era of globalization, international trade and economic cooperation have become the cornerstone of global economic development. As we navigate through the complexities of our interconnected world, it is crucial that we discuss the future trends, challenges, and opportunities that lie ahead.IntroductionThe world has witnessed a remarkable transformation over the past few decades. The advent of technology, the fall of trade barriers, and the increasing interdependence of nations have created a more open and interconnected global economy. International trade has not only fostered economic growth but has also contributed to the spread of knowledge, culture, and ideas. Today, we stand at a crossroads, and it is imperative that we prepare ourselves for the future of international trade and economic cooperation.Trends in International Trade1. Digitalization and E-Commerce: The digital revolution has revolutionized the way we conduct business. E-commerce platforms have made it possible for businesses to reach customers across the globe with ease. The rise of digital currencies and blockchain technology is also poised to transform international trade by providing secure and transparent transactions.2. Supply Chain Diversification: In the wake of recent global events, businesses have realized the importance of diversifying their supply chains. This trend is likely to continue as companies seek to mitigate risks associated with geopolitical tensions and trade disputes.3. Sustainable Trade: Environmental concerns have become a significant factor in international trade. Governments and businesses are increasingly focusing on sustainable practices to reduce carbon emissions and protect the planet. This shift is reflected in the growing demand for green products and services.4. Free Trade Agreements: Despite the challenges posed by trade protectionism, free trade agreements continue to play a crucial role in promoting international trade. These agreements help to reduce trade barriers, enhance market access, and foster economic integration.Challenges in International Trade1. Trade Protectionism: The rise of trade protectionism poses a significant challenge to global trade. Tariffs, quotas, and other trade barriers can lead to higher costs for consumers, reduced economic growth, and increased tensions among nations.2. Geopolitical Risks: Geopolitical tensions, such as those betweenmajor economies, can disrupt international trade and economic cooperation. These tensions can lead to trade wars, sanctions, and other forms of economic retaliation.3. Technological Disruption: Rapid technological advancements candisrupt traditional industries and create new challenges forinternational trade. For instance, automation and artificialintelligence may lead to job losses and increased income inequality.4. Environmental Concerns: The environmental impact of international trade is a growing concern. The transportation of goods across borders contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and pollution, necessitating more sustainable practices.Opportunities for Economic Cooperation1. Collaboration on Innovation: Countries can collaborate on researchand development to drive innovation and create new opportunities for international trade. By sharing knowledge and resources, nations can benefit from technological advancements and improve their competitiveness.2. Investment in Infrastructure: Investing in infrastructure, such as ports, roads, and digital networks, can enhance trade efficiency and reduce costs. This investment can also promote economic growth and development in less developed regions.3. Promotion of Sustainable Development: By working together to address environmental challenges, countries can promote sustainable development and ensure the long-term viability of international trade.4. Cultural Exchange: Cultural exchange can foster mutual understanding and cooperation between nations. By promoting tourism, education, and people-to-people exchanges, countries can build stronger relationships and create a more peaceful and prosperous world.ConclusionThe future of international trade and economic cooperation is both promising and challenging. As we navigate through the complexities of our interconnected world, it is crucial that we remain open, adaptable, and collaborative. By embracing the trends, addressing the challenges, and seizing the opportunities, we can build a more prosperous and sustainable future for all.In closing, let us remember that international trade and economic cooperation are not just about economic gains; they are about creating a better world for future generations. Together, we can overcome the obstacles and realize the full potential of international trade and economic cooperation.Thank you for your attention.[Applause]。
国际贸易第1章(经济全球化英文版)International TradeChapter I. GlobalizationLEARNING OBJECTIVESAfter you have read this chapter you should:LO1 Understand what is meant by the term globalization. LO2 Be familiar with the main drivers of globalization.LO3 Appreciate the changing nature of the global economy.LO4 Understand the main arguments in the debate over the impact of globalization.LO5 Appreciate have the process of globalization is creating opportunities and challenges far business managers.Flat Panel Televisions and the Global EconomyThey begin as glass panels that are manufactured in high-technology fabrication centers in South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. Operating sophisticated tooling in environments that must be kept absolutely clean, these factories produce sheets of glass twice as large as king size beds to exacting specifications. From there, the glass panels travel to Mexican plants located alongside the U.S. border. There they are cut to size, combined withelectronic components shipped in from Asia and the United States, assembled into finished TVs, and loaded onto trucks bound forretail stores in the United States.It's a huge business. In 2021, U.S. consumers spent some $26.4 billion on flat panel TVs, a 63 percent increase over the amount spent in 2021.Projections call for U.S. sales to hit $37 billion by 2021-despite the fact that due to intense competition, prices for flat panel displays have been tumbling and are projected to continue doing so. During 2021 alone, prices for 40-inch flat panel TVs fell from $3,000 to $1,600, bringing them within the reach of many more consumers. In 200? half of all TVs sold in the United States will be flat panel TVs.The underlying technology for flat panel displays was invented in the United States in the late 1960s by RCA. But after RCA and rivals Westinghouse and Xerox opted not to pursue the technology, the Japanese company Sharp made aggressive investments in flat panel displays. By the early 1990s Sharp was selling the first flat panel screens, but as the Japanese economy plunged into a decade-long recession, investment leadership shifted to South Korean companies such as Samsung. Then the 1997 Asian crisis hit Korea hard, and Taiwanese companies seized leadership. Today, Chinese companies are starting to elbow their way into the flat panel display manufacturing business.As production for flat panel displays migrates its way around theglobe to low-cost locations, clear winners and losers have emerged. One obvious winner has been U. S. consumers, who have benefited from the falling prices of flat panel TVs and are snapping them up Other winners include efficient manufacturers who have taken advantage of globally dispersed supply chains to make and sell low-cost, high-quality flat panel TVs. Foremost among these has been the California-based company, Vizio. Founded by a Taiwanese immigrant, in just four years sales of Vizio flat panel TVs ballooned from nothing to $700 million in 2021. The company is forecasting sales as high as $2 billion for 2021. Vizio, however, has only 75 employees. These employees focus on final product design, sales. and customer service, while Vizio outsources most of its engineering work, all of its manufacturing, and much of its logistics. For each of its models, Vizio assembles a team of supplier partners strung across the globe. Its 42-inch flat panel TV, for example, contains a panel from South Korea, electronic components from China, and processors from the United States, and it is assembled in Mexico. Vizio's managers scour the globe continually for the cheapest manufacturers of flat panel displays and electronic components. They sell most of their TVs to large discount retailers such as Costco and Sam's Club. Good order visibility from retailers, coupled with tight management of global logistics, allows Vizio toturn over its inventory every three weeks, twice as fast as many of its competitors which is a major source of cost saving in a business where prices are falling continually.If Vizio exemplifies the winners in this global industry, the losersinclude the employees of manufacturers who make traditional cathode ray TVs in high-cost locations. In 2021, for example, Japanese electronics manufacturer Sanyo laid off 300 employees at its U.S. factory, and another Japanese company, Hitachi, closed its TV manufacturing plant in South Carolina, laying off 200 employees. Both Sony and Hitachi, of course, still make TVs, but they are flat panel TVs assembled in Mexico from components manufactured in Asia.IntroductionA fundamental shift is occurring, in the world economy. We are moving away from a world in which national economies were relatively self-contained entities, isolated from each other by barriers to cross-border trade and investment; by distance, time zones, and language; ard by national differences in government regulation, culture, and business systems. And we are moving toward a world in which harriers to cross-border trade andinvestment are declining; perceived distance is shrinking, due to advances in transportation and telecommunications technology; material culture isstarting to look similar the world over; and national economies are merginginto an interdependent, integrated global economic system. The process bywhich this is occurring is commonly referred to as globalization.What is happening, in the fiat panel TV Industry, which was profiled inthe Opening Case, is a classic illustration of the impact of globalization. Production of flat panel TVs is migrating around the globe to low-cost locations. TVs that Vizio sells in the United States, for example, ale assembled in Mexico from flat panels manufactured in South Korea, electronic components made in China, and microprocessors made in the United States. By dispersing different activities around the globe to where they can beperformed most efficiently, and then coordinating, the entire production process, companies like Vizio can deliver flat panel TVs to American consumers at much lower prices than would otherwise be possible. American consumers benefit from the lower price, as doe; Vizio and its strategic partners inSouth Korea, China, the United States. and Mexico. The process ofglobalization also has losers, however, and the losers in this case areworkers in high cost locations who have lost their jobs. As we will see in this book感谢您的阅读,祝您生活愉快。

第2 章现代贸易理论的基础现代贸易理论试图回答如问题:(1) 贸易基础(basis for trade) 由什么构成--即国与国之间为什么要进和出口某些商品? (2) 商品在世界市场按什么样的贸易条件(terms of trade)( 相对价格)进行交换?(3) 从生产和消费方面来看,国际贸易收益(gains from internationa1 trade) 是什么?本章将首先毓要回顾现代贸易理论的发展历史,然后介绍分析国际贸易影响时用到的理论工具,进而探讨这些问题。
现代贸易理论的发展历史现代贸易理论是经济思想进化的产物。
重商主义以及后来的亚当•斯密和人卫•李嘉图的著作都为现代贸易理论提供了框架。
重商主义在1500-1800年间,欧洲出现了一批关注国家建设的学者。
按照重商主义(merc antists)的观点,一个吲家如何管理它的国内和国际事务以提高自身的利益,是建设国家的中心问题,而拥有一个强大的对外贸易部门则是该问题的答案。
如果一个国家能够实现贸易顺差(出口超过进口的剩余),就可以得到世界其他国家支付的黄金和白银。
这种收入将增加消费,提高国内的产出和就业水平。
为了促成贸易顺差,重商主义学派主张政府进行贸易管制,并建议采用关税、配额和其他商业政策将进口限制在最低水平,以保护一个国家的贸易地位。
进入18世纪,重商主义的经济政策受到了强烈的攻击。
根据大卫•休谟的价格流转学说doctrine),贸易顺差只可能是短期的,会随着时间的推移自动消除。
为说明这一点,假定余,导致黄金和白银流入。
由于这些贵金属构成了英国货币供给的一部分,它们的流入会增加流通中的货币数量,从而使得英国的物价水平相对于其贸易伙伴的而言比较高。
物价水平的上升会激励英国居民购买外国生产的商品,同时英国的出口额会降低。
结果是,该国的贸易盈余最终将自动消除。
休谟的价格流转机制表明,重商主义的政策最多只能带来短期的经济优势。
重商主义学派从静态的视角分析世界经济,这也是他们遭到攻击的一个原因。
目录1 外文文献图片 (1)2 外文文献译文 (6)3外文文献原文 (12)外文文献译文总结:在最近的这几年来,贸易自由化对于国内的影响一直受到严密的监控。
贸易自由化和全球化的其它方面被指责成造成美国的收入不均和欧洲的失业率的根本原因。
问题的关键还在于低工资发展中国家的贸易。
虽然经济学家一直都在研究这个问题,但是却并没有找到明确的答案。
本文探讨了这种模棱两可的问题的一些原因。
内生性和同时性虽然可以产生主要的问题,但这引起业内人士指责,还是应该应该适当地归因于其他因素的发展。
但是即使仅仅针对贸易自身,它也有不能确定的影响。
这只是在最简单的赫克歇尔-俄林理论下,批评者对贸易自由化可以预测的明确结果。
1介绍在最近几年来,贸易和经济开放一直在增长,于是各个利益集团的获利影响一直被争论。
低技能工人的工资和薪水在因为全球化可能引起的潜在后果,受到特别的关注。
由于工业化国家与发展中低薪水国家的贸易份额得到增加,导致这场争论已经愈演愈烈。
在美国以及欧洲,人们对于工作,工资和生活标准时刻处于风险当中而感到恐惧的情况普遍存在,尤其是在和那些从底薪国家来的工人直接与直接竞争的地区尤为严重。
在经济学家中,争论集中在美国收入显著不平等的兴起和欧洲的失业率持续增加引起的贸易和技术变革的相对贡献。
贸易经济学家们倾向于应该减少在这些发达国家的交易规则,而大量的劳动经济学家则抱持着相反的意见。
尽管这场争论远远没有解决争端,但是它在理论和实证两个方面揭示了极其复杂的问题。
第二节列出了基本问题以及在所有商品自由流通的基础上交易的两个产品-三个要素模型对工资和就业影响的后果。
第三节部分认为最终产品就是非流通股,但它的一些部件和组件可以流通,从而可以从境外进行采购。
境外采购可能涉及海上生产和对外直接投资。
第四节探讨了资本流动的影响。
第五部分在讲述潜在的失业问题。
第六节提供了一些结论性的意见。
2海外采购和相对工资传统贸易理论的奠基石之一是在因素比例在测定专业化和贸易时的作用。
