96) What are the disadvantages of import restrictions in regards to creating domestic
employment opportunities?
Answer: One problem with restricting imports in order to create jobs is that other countries
might retaliate with their own restrictions. New import restrictions by a major country have
usually brought quick retaliation, sometimes causing more job losses than gains in industries
protected by the new restrictions. Even if no country retaliates, the restricting country will gain
jobs one place and lose them somewhere else, such as in import-handling jobs. Imports may also
help create jobs in other industries, and these industries may form pressure groups against
protectionism.

97) Explain the rationale for and problems with making the infant-industry argument work as
intended.
Answer: The infant-industry argument holds that a government should guarantee an emerging
industry a large share of the domestic market until it becomes efficient enough to compete
against imports. Developing countries still use this argument to support their protectionist
policies. The infant-industry argument is based on the logic that although the initial output costs
for an industry in a given country may be so high as to make it noncompetitive in world markets;
over time the costs will decrease to a level sufficient to achieve efficient production. The cost
reductions may occur for two reasons: As companies gain economies of scale and employees
become more efficient through experience, total unit costs drop to competitive levels.
Although it is reasonable to expect costs to decrease over time, they may not go down enough,
which poses two problems for protecting an industry. First, governments have difficulty
identifying those industries that have a high probability of success. If infant-industry protection
goes to an industry that does not reduce costs enough to make it competitive against imports,
chances are its owners, workers, and suppliers will constitute a formidable pressure group that
may prevent the importation of a cheaper competitive product. Second, even if policymakers can
ascertain which industries are likely to succeed, it does not necessarily mean that companies in
those industries should receive governmental assistance. Entrepreneurs may incur the costs and
reap the benefits instead. For the infant-industry argument to be fully viable, future benefits
should exceed early costs.

98) Why do developing countries sometimes impose import restrictions to increase their levels of
industrialization?
Answer: Countries with a large manufacturing base generally have higher per capita incomes
than do countries without such a base. Moreover, a number of countries, such as the United
States and Japan, developed an industrial base while largely preventing competition from
foreign-based production. Many developing countries use protection to increase their level of
industrialization because of industrial countries’ economic success and experience. Specifically,
they believe:
1. Surplus workers can more easily increase manufacturing output than they can increase
agricultural output.
2. Inflows of foreign investment in the industrial area will promote growth.
3. Prices and sales of traditional agricultural products and raw materials fluctuate too much,
harming economies that depend on too few of them.
4. Markets and prices for industrial products will grow faster than those for agricultural products.

99) What is the difference between import substitution policies and export-led development
policies? What are the potential effects of each?
Answer: Developing countries promote industrialization by restricting imports in order to

encourage local production for local consumption goods which they formerly imported. This is
known as import substitution. If the protected industries do not become efficient, consumers may
have to support them by paying higher prices or higher taxes. In contrast to import substitution,
some countries have achieved rapid economic growth by promoting export industries, an
approach known as export-led development. These countries try to develop industries for which
export markets should logically exist. Industrialization may result initially in import substitution,
yet export-led development of the same products may be feasible later.

100) Many companies and industries argue that they should have the same access to foreign
markets as foreign industries and companies have to their markets. In a short essay, discuss this
issue of “comparable access,” or “fairness.”
Answer: From an economic standpoint, comparable access argues that in industries in which
increased production will greatly decrease cost, either from scale economies or learning effects,
producers that lack equal access to a competitor’s market will have a disadvantage in gaining
enough sales to be cost-competitive. The argument for equal access also is presented as one of
fairness. There are at least two arguments against this fairness doctrine. First, there are
advantages of freer trade, even if imposed unilaterally. Restrictions may deny one’s own
consumers lower prices. Second, governments would find it cumbersome and expensive to
negotiate separate agreements for each of the many thousands of different products and services
that might be traded.

101) What are common reasons that governments enact export restrictions? What are the
possible negative consequences of such restrictions?
Answer: A country may limit exports of a product that is in short supply worldwide in order to
favor domestic consumers. Typically, greater supply drops local prices beneath those in the
intentionally undersupplied world markets. However, this discourages domestic producers from
increasing output and encourages them to smuggle output to sell abroad. It also encourages
foreign producers to develop substitutes or production of their own. Countries also fear that
foreign producers will price their exports so artificially low that they drive domestic producers
out of business, after which they charge monopoly prices. However, competition among foreign
producers limits their ability to charge exorbitant prices. The ability to price low abroad may
result from high domestic prices due to a lack of competition at home or from home country
governmental subsidies.

102) What is dumping? What are the possible effects of dumping on a country’s economy?
Answer: When companies export below cost or below their home country price, this is called
dumping. Most countries prohibit imports of dumped products, but enforcement usually occurs
only if the imported product disrupts domestic production. If there is no domestic production,
then the only host country effect is a low price to its consumers. Companies may dump because
they cannot otherwise build a market abroad. They can afford to dump if the competitive
landscape allows them to charge high domestic prices or if their home country government
subsidizes them. They may also incur short-term losses abroad if they believe they can recoup
those losses after eliminating competitors in the market. Home country consumers or taxpayers
seldom realize that they are, in effect, paying so that foreign consumers have low prices. A
company believing it is competing against dumped products may ask its government to restrict
the imports.

103) Briefly discuss the four noneconomic rationales for governmental intervention in the free
movement of trade: maintaining essential industries, preventing shipments to unfriendly
countries, maintaining or extending spheres of influence, and preserving national identity.
Answer:
1. Maintenance of essential industries (especially defense): A major consideration behind

governmental action on trade is the protection of essential domestic industries during
peacetime so that a country is not dependent on foreign sources of supply during war. This is
called the essential-industry argument. This argument for protection has much appeal in rallying
support for import barriers. However, in times of real crisis or military emergency, almost any
product could be essential. Because of the high cost of protecting an inefficient industry or a
higher-cost domestic substitute, the essential-industry argument should not be accepted
without a careful evaluation of costs, real needs, and alternatives. Once an industry becomes
protected, that protection is difficult to terminate because protected companies and their
employees support politicians who will support their protection from imports.
2. Prevention of shipments to unfriendly countries: Groups concerned about security often use
defense arguments to prevent exports, even to friendly countries, of strategic goods that might
fall into the hands of potential enemies or that might be in short supply domestically. Export
constraints may be valid if the exporting country assumes there will be no retaliation that
prevents it from securing even more essential goods from the potential importing country.
Trade controls on nondefense goods also may be used as a weapon of foreign policy to try to
prevent another country from easily meeting its economic and political objectives.
3. Maintenance or extension of spheres of influence: Governments frequently give aid and credits
to, and encourage imports from, countries that join a political alliance or vote a certain way
within international bodies. A country’s trade restrictions may also coerce governments to
follow certain political actions or punish companies whose governments do not follow the
actions.
4. Conservation of activities that help preserve a national identity: Countries are held together
partially through a common sense of identity that sets their citizens apart from other
nationalities. To protect this “separateness,” countries limit foreign products and services in
certain sectors, particularly the media.

104) Describe and compare the different types of tariffs (duties).
Answer: A tariff, or duty, the most common type of trade control, is a tax that a government
levies on a good shipped internationally. If collected by the exporting country, it is known as an
export tariff; if collected by a country through which the goods have passed, it is a transit tariff;
if collected by the importing country, it is an import tariff. The import tariff is by far the most
common. Import tariffs primarily serve as a means of raising the price of imported goods so that
domestically produced goods will gain a relative price advantage.
A tariff may be protective even though there is no domestic production in direct competition.
Tariffs also serve as a source of governmental revenue. Import tariffs are of little importance to
large industrial countries, but are a major source of revenue in many developing countries.
Transit tariffs were once a major source of revenue for countries, but they have been nearly
abolished through governmental treaties. A government may assess a tariff on a per-unit basis, in
which case it is a specific duty. It may assess a tariff as a percentage of the value of the item, in
which case it is an ad valorem duty. If it assesses both specific and an ad valorem duty on the
same product, the combination is a compound duty. A specific duty is easy for customs officials
who collect duties to assess because they do not need to determine a good’s value on which to
calculate a percentage tax. Because an ad valorem tariff is based on the total value of the
product, meaning the raw materials and the processing combined, developing countries argue
that the effective tariff on the manufactured portion turns out to be higher than the published
tariff rate.

105) In a short essay, list and discuss the nontariff barriers that relate to direct price influences:
subsidies, aid and loans, customs valuations, and other direct price influences.
Answer:
1. Subsidies: Countries sometimes make direct payments (called subsidies) to domestic companies
to reduce their costs or compensate them for losses incurred from selling abroad.
2. Aid and loans: Governments also give aid and loans to other countries. If the recipient is
required to spend the funds in the donor country, some products can compete abroad that
might otherwise be noncompetitive.
3. Customs valuation: Most countries have agreed on a procedure for assessing values when their
customs agents levy tariffs, but customs must ascertain whether the invoice correctly identifies
the product, its price, and its origin.
4. Other direct price influences: Countries frequently use other means to affect prices, including
special fees, requirements that customs deposits be placed in advance of shipment, and
minimum price levels at which goods can be sold after they have customs clearance.

106) List and define the types of nontariff barriers that limit the quantity of goods traded: quotas,
embargoes, buy local legislation, standards and labels, specific permission requirements,
administrative delays, and reciprocal requirements.
Answer:
1. Quotas: The most common type of import or export restriction based on quantity is the quota.
From the standpoint of imports, a quota most frequently limits the quantity of a product
allowed to be imported in a given year. The amount frequently reflects a guarantee that
domestic producers will have access to a certain percentage of the domestic market in that year.
2. Embargoes: An embargo is a specific type of quota that prohibits all trade on a whole category
of products or on all products from a given country. Governments use embargoes in an attempt
to use economic means to achieve political goals.
3. “Buy Local” legislation: Another form of quantitative trade control is “buy local” legislation. If
government purchases are a large part of total expenditures within a country, they comprise an
important part of the market. Most governments favor domestic producers in their purchases of
goods. Sometimes they specify a content restriction—in which a certain percentage of the
product is of local origin.
4. Standards and labels: Countries commonly have set classification, labeling, and testing
standards in a manner that allows the sales of domestic products but inhibits that of foreign-
made ones. The purpose of testing standards is to protect the safety or health of the domestic
population. However, there have been situations where exporters have argued that such
restrictions protect domestic producers instead.
5. Specific permission requirements: Some countries require that potential importers or exporters
secure permission from governmental authorities before conducting trade transactions, a
requirement known as an import license.
6. Administrative delays: Closely related to specific permission requirements are intentional
administrative delays, which create uncertainty and raise the cost of carrying inventory.
7. Reciprocal requirements: Governments sometimes require that exporters take merchandise in
lieu of money or that they promise to buy merchandise or services in the country to which they
export. This requirement is common in the aerospace and defense industries—sometimes
because the importer is short of foreign currency to purchase what it wants, and sometimes
because the sales are so large the buyer has strong negotiating power.

107) What are the main arguments for limiting trade in services? What is your opinion on
limiting trade in services?
Answer: Countries restrict trade in services for three reasons:
1. Essentiality: Countries judge certain service industries to be essential because they serve
strategic purposes or because they provide social assistance to their citizens. They sometimes
prohibit private companies, foreign or domestic, in some sectors because they feel the services
should not be sold for profit.
2. Standards: Governments limit foreign entry into many service professions to ensure practice by
qualified personnel. The licensing standards of these personnel vary by country. At present,
there is little reciprocal recognition in licensing from one country to another because
occupational standards and requirements differ substantially.
3. Immigration: Satisfying the standards of a particular country does not guarantee that a foreigner
can then work there. Governmental regulations often require that an organization—domestic or
foreign—search extensively for qualified personnel locally before it can even apply for work
permits for personnel it would like to bring in from abroad.

91) Describe the different types of regional economic integration and give an example of each
type.
Answer:
1. Free trade area (FTA): The goal of a free trade area is to abolish all tariffs among member
countries. Free trade agreements usually begin modestly by eliminating tariffs on goods that
already have low tariffs, and there is usually an implementation period over which all tariffs are
eliminated on all products. In addition, each member country maintains its own external tariffs
against non-FTA countries. Examples: the North American Free Trade Agreement, the
Association of South East Asian Nations
2. Customs union: In addition to eliminating internal tariffs, member countries levy a common
external tariff on goods being imported from nonmembers. Example: MERCOSUR
3. Common market: A common market has all the elements of a customs union, plus it allows free
mobility of production factors such as labor and capital. Example: the European Union

92) Explain the static effects and dynamic effects of economic integration. What is the difference
between trade creation and trade diversion resulting from economic integration?
Answer: Static effects are the shifting of resources from inefficient to efficient companies as
trade barriers fall. Dynamic effects are the overall growth in the market and the impact on a
company of expanding production and achieving greater economies of scale. Static effects may
develop when either of two conditions occurs:
1. Trade creation: Production shifts to more efficient producers for reasons of comparative
advantage, allowing consumers access to more goods at a lower price than would have been
possible without integration.
2. Trade diversion: Trade shifts to countries in the group at the expense of trade with countries not
in the group, even though the nonmember company might be more efficient in the absence of
trade barriers.
Dynamic effects of integration occur when trade barriers come down and the size of the market
increases, allowing companies to achieve economies of scale.

Objective: 3
93) What are the functions of the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Council,
and the European Court of Justice?
Answer:
1. The European Commission provides the European Union’s political leadership and direction. The
commission is composed of commissioners nominated by each member government and
approved by the European Parliament. It drafts laws that it submits to the European Parliament
and Council of the EU.
2. The three major responsibilities of the European Parliament are: legislative power, control over
the budget, and supervision of executive decisions. The commission presents community
legislation to the parliament. Parliament may approve legislation, amend it, or reject it outright.
Parliament also approves the EU’s budget each year and monitors spending.
3. The Council is composed of the ministers of the member countries. The Council passes laws and
makes and enacts major policies. It works closely with the Commission and Parliament in
adopting policies.
4. The European Court of Justice ensures consistent interpretation and application of EU treaties.
Member states, community institutions, or individuals and companies may bring cases to the
court. The Court of Justice is an appeals court for individuals, firms, and organizations fined by
the commission for infringing treaty law. The Court of Justice is relevant to MNEs because it
deals mostly with economic matters.

94) What are the rules of origin and regional content provisions of NAFTA?
Answer: Because NAFTA is a free trade agreement and not a customs union, each country sets
its own tariffs for the rest of the world. Rules of origin ensure that only goods that have been the
subject of substantial economic activity within the free trade area are eligible for the more liberal
tariff conditions created by NAFTA. According to regional content rules, at least 50 percent of
the net cost of most products must come from the NAFTA region. The exceptions are 55 percent
for footwear, 62.5 percent for passenger automobiles and light trucks and the engines and
transmissions for such vehicles, and 60 percent for other vehicles and automotive parts.

95) What has been the impact of NAFTA on trade and employment in NAFTA nations?
Answer: Trade and investment among the NAFTA members has increased significantly since
the agreement was signed in 1994. The U.S. is the largest trade partner of Canada and Mexico,
and both countries are among the most important exporters and importers for the U.S. Due to
lower wages in Mexico, a lot of FDI has poured into Mexico, potentially displacing jobs in the
United States. U.S. firms have come under criticism for taking advantage of cheaper wages and
lax environmental standards. In addition, the agreement has not stopped the flow of illegal
immigrants from Mexico to the U.S.

Objective: 2, 5
96) Identify and briefly compare the major regional trading groups in Latin America, Asia, and
Africa.
Answer:
1. The major trade group in South America is MERCOSUR. In 1991, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and
Uruguay established MERCOSUR. MERCOSUR is significant because of its size; it generates 75
percent of South America’s GNP. Another major group in South America is the Andean Group
(CAN), which is composed of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. There are three major
regional trading groups in Central America and the Caribbean: the Central American Common
Market, the Central American Free Trade Agreement-Dominican Republic (which includes the
United States), and the Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM). These groups
are hampered by their small markets and dependence on the United States for trade.
2. In Asia, the key group is the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), which was
organized in 1967 and comprises Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the
Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. It is promoting cooperation in many areas,
including industry and trade. In 1993, the ASEAN countries formed the ASEAN Free Trade Area
(AFTA) to deal with the specific intrazonal trade issues.
3. The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is massive since it includes every country that
borders the Pacific Ocean. In spite of the size of APEC, it does not engage in treaties like the
other trade agreements, so it has potential but not much teeth.
4. Africa is divided into many different trading groups based on geographic proximity and links to
former colonial powers. Most groups are hampered by poverty, small market size, and
dependence on former colonial powers. The African Union is modeled loosely on the EU, but
that type of integration will likely be very difficult.

97) Are commodity agreements effective? Why or why not?
Answer: Commodity agreements used to be influential in helping to stabilize commodity prices,

but now they are more involved in disseminating information and promoting research. OPEC is
an example of an effective producers’ cartel that operates on quotas to try to stabilize prices. In
general, very little can be done outside of market forces to influence price.

98) Why is geography important to most regional trade agreements? Provide examples of RTAs
to illustrate your answer.
Answer: There are a number of reasons why geography matters in the case of RTAs.
Neighboring countries often, though not always, share a common history, language, culture, and
currency. Unless the countries are at war with each other, they usually have already developed
trading ties. Close proximity reduces transportation costs, thereby making traded products
cheaper in general. Armenia has RTAs in force with Kazakhstan, Moldova, the Russian
Federation, Turkmenistan, and Ukraine. India has a number of trade agreements with most of the
countries in its region. Germany, a member of the European Union, exports 62.9 percent of its
merchandise exports to other EU members and imports 58.3 percent from them. Switzerland,
which is not a member of the EU but which has a trade agreement with the EU, exports 59.7
percent of its merchandise exports to EU countries and imports 78 percent from them. NAFTA
includes Canada, the United States, and Mexico.

99) In a brief essay, explain the roles of the World Trade Organization and the United Nations in
international trade.
Answer: The World Trade Organization (WTO) replaced GATT in 1995 as a continuing means
of trade negotiations that aspires to foster the principle of trade without discrimination and to
provide a better means of mediating trade disputes and of enforcing agreements. The United
Nations is composed of representatives of most of the countries in the world and influences
international trade and development in a number of significant ways. The UN family of
organizations is too large to list, but it includes the WTO, the International Monetary Fund, and
the World Bank. If the UN performs its responsibilities, it should improve the environment in
which MNEs operate around the world, reducing risk and providing greater opportunities.

100) What is the difference between a free trade agreement and a customs union? Provide
examples of each in your answer.
Answer: The goal of an FTA is to abolish all tariffs between member countries. It usually begins
modestly by eliminating tariffs on goods that already have low tariffs, and there is usually an
implementation period during which all tariffs are eliminated on all products. Moreover, each
member country maintains its own external tariffs against non-FTA countries. NAFTA is an
example of a free trade agreement. The EU is considered a customs union by the WTO. In
addition to eliminating internal tariffs, member countries levy a common external tariff on goods
being imported from nonmembers. For example, the EU removed internal tariffs from 1959 to
1967, when it established a common external tariff. Now it negotiates as one region in the WTO
rather than as separate countries. Customs unions account for less than 10 percent of the RTAs
identified by the WTO.
