International Trade and Health Protection: A Critical Assessment of the Wto`s Sps Agreement

2008 y.
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
Description: This book examines and critiques the WTO`s Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS Agreement), asking whether it strikes an appropriate balance between conflicting domestic health protection and trade liberalization objectives. It pays particular attention to situations likely to occur but not yet fully examined either in the literature or in WTO law, most importantly, where public opinion demands regulation in the face of scientific uncertainty as to the existence or otherwise of a health risk. Tracey Epps concludes that the SPS Agreement`s science-based framework is capable of dealing with the differing objectives of health and trade, and that it provides countries with more flexibility to respond to scientific uncertainties and public sentiment than many critics contend. This conclusion is strongly influenced by a positive analysis of domestic regulatory decision-making, which finds potential for regulatory capture by domestic protectionist [detailed...]

International Trade and Labor Markets: Theory, Evidence, and Policy Implications

y.
Publisher:
Description: Davidson and Matusz provide much-needed theoretical underpinnings for understanding the labor market consequences of international trade. Traditional models of international trade assume that labor markets adjust instantaneously to trade shocks . Thus,these traditional theoretical models assume away the consequence of greatest concern to policy-makers: unemployment. Davidson and Matusz update international trade theory to include labor market dynamics and unemployment, and present empirical evidence to show the consistency between their theoretical predictions and actual outcomes. Their models are of more than academic interest. They allow the authors to document the effects of trade and trade policies on low-skilled workers in different countries with different labor market policies and institutions. Moreover, they provide important insights into the relative merits of policies such as trade adjustment assistance, wage subsidies, and job training in aiding those displaced or [detailed...]

International Trade and Labor Standards: A Proposal for Linkage

2008 y.
Publisher:
Description: Progressive governments in poor countries fear that if they undertake measures to enhance real wages and working conditions, rising labor costs would cause wealthier countries to import from and invest elsewhere. Yet if the world trading system were designed to facilitate or even reward measures to promote labor standards, poor countries could undertake them without fear.In this book, Christian Barry and Sanjay G. Reddy propose ways in which the international trading system can support poor countries in promoting the well-being of their peoples. Reforms to the trading system can lessen the collective-action problem among poor countries, increasing their freedom to pursue policy that better serves the interests of their people. Incorporating the right kind of linkage between trading opportunities and the promotion of labor standards could empower countries, allowing them greater effective sovereignty and enabling them to improve the circumstances of the less advantaged.

International Trade and Multinational Activity: Heterogeneity of Firms, Incentives for Foreign Direct Investment, and International Business Cycle Dynamics Notes in Economics a

2006 y.
Publisher:
Description: During the last 25 year, the neoclassical Heckscher-Ohlin trade theory has been extended to the new trade theory by including imperfect competition and fixed costs into the analysis of trade relations. Furthermore, these micro-oriented trade models are increasingly used to analyze macro-oriented questions. Chapter 2 of this study investigates the dynamic welfare effects of exposure to trade in a new trade model, which is extended by firm heterogeneity. It is analyzed under which conditions exposure to trade with firm heterogeneity increases or decreases steady state welfare of a country. Chapter 3 uses a new trade model to explore which country-specific conditions give rise to horizontal or vertical multinational activity. Finally, chapter 4 combines the Heckscher-Ohlin model and a new trade model with horizontal multinational firms with the macro-oriented real business cycle model and analyzes the role of goods trade and horizontal multinational firms in [detailed...]

Paul Bowles: Ra
International Trade and Neoliberal Globalism (Studies in Governance and Change in the Global Era)

2008 y.
Publisher:
Description: Highly critical and controversial, this comparative volume, uses a well-established centre-periphery model (from World-Systems Theory and Dependency Theory) to study free-trade agreements, focusing on three countries (Australia, Canada and Mexico) with comparable locations within global capitalism as the basis for comparison. For most of the twentieth century, Australia, Canada and Mexico were engaged in national projects of development. By the end of the twentieth century, all three had departed significantly from these projects under the weight of neoliberal globalism, symbolized by the signing of free trade agreements with the United States. This shift of economic paradigm towards neoliberalism and the political shift in the international political economy to one of unparalleled U.S. hegemony raises the spectre of re-peripheralisation for all three countries.Arguing that re-peripheralisation is already underway in all three countries and can only be reversed by adopting [detailed...]

International Trade and Political Conflict: Commerce, Coalitions, and Mobility.

y.
Publisher:
Description: This book unveils a potent new approach to one of the oldest debates in political economy--that over whether class conflict or group competition is more prevalent in politics. It goes further than any study to date by outlining the conditions under whichone type of political conflict is more likely than the other. Michael Hiscox focuses on a critical issue affecting support for and opposition to free trade--factor mobility, or the ability of those who own a factor of production (land, labor, or capital)to move it from one industry to another. He argues that the types of political coalitions that form in trade politics depend largely on the extent to which factors are mobile between industries. Class coalitions are more likely where factor mobility is high, Hiscox demonstrates, whereas narrow, industry-based coalitions predominate where it is low. The book also breaks new ground by backing up the theory it advances with systematic evidence from the history of trade politics in six [detailed...]

International Trade in Computer Software

Publisher:
Description: The U.S. computer software industry dominates the globe. But why has this critical industry succeeded so dramatically in world competition when so many other strategic technologies have fallen to foreign suppliers? Will American software developers continue to surpass their foreign rivals in coming decades or will U.S. software follow the path of the automobile and the television set? In a detailed and well-reasoned economic analysis, Stephen E. Siwek and Harold W. Furchtgott-Roth present the first trulycomprehensive examination of international trade in computer software. In support of their analysis, the authors include a wealth of statistics that demonstrate the long-standing dominance of U.S. software in world markets and they offer predictions and policy recommendations that illuminate the likely future of American-produced software.

International Trade, Wage Inequality, and the Developing Economy: A General Equilibrium Approach (Contributions to Economics)

y.
Publisher:
Description: This book deals with the impact that international trade is likely to have on the skilled-unskilled wage gap in a typical developing economy. This is the first theoretical monograph on this particular issue which has already generated substantial debate and voluminous work for the developed countries. A unique feature of this work is that it tries to explain the possibility of rising inequality across trading nations and looks at the segmented labour markets of the poor economies. It makes convincing arguments that the standard general equilibrium models, the main workhorse of trade theory, can be given a creative facelift to address a number of critical and emerging issues in the area of trade and development.

International Trade: Theory, Strategies, and Evidence

2004 y.
Publisher:
Description: The field of international trade has been a focus of renewed debate for academics and policy-makers alike. The progressive integration of economics at a worldwide level have led to debates surrounding the migration of labor markets, restrictive trade practices, the impact of foreign investment, the role of cooperation through multilateral and regional agreements, and the enforceability of international agreements. This book reviews the new research findings and theoretical developments that have informed these debates, offering a balanced analytical account of American and European experiences, viewpoints, approaches and policy. Written in six parts, the first part examines the determinants of trade patterns, economic location, foreign investment and the interaction between trade and economic growth. The second part deals with strategic policy interventions. The third part examines the role of innovation, skills and contracts in trade and foreign direct investment. The fourth part [detailed...]

International Transfer Pricing: The Valuation of Intangible Assets

y.
Publisher:
Description: The valuation of intangible assets causes tax lawyers and economists a lot of trouble. And when assets cross borders, it gets worse. The (maybe not so-surprising) result is that a considerable number of multinational enterprises use a transfer pricing method to value intangible assets that seems not to comply with regulations of either home or host tax authorities. Although this is a matter of the utmost practical concern, the persistence even growth of the problem clearly raises theoretical issues. Thisvolume considers the valuation of intangible assets from both perspectives, theory and practice, building its practical recommendations on a sound theoretical analysis of the appropriateness of transfer pricing rules for intangible assets as well as on the adequacy of transfer pricing standards and methods for the economic reality of multinational enterprises. With expert insight into the difficulties inherent in the current regulatory approaches to valuing intangible asset [detailed...]
