Presentation on the topic: international trade

slide number 1

Description of the slide:

International trade is a system of international commodity-money relations, consisting of the foreign trade of all countries of the world. It arose in the process of the birth of the world market in the 16th-18th centuries. the term was first used in the 12th century by the Italian economist Antonio Margaretti, the author of the economic treatise The Power of the Masses in Northern Italy.

Benefits of participating in international trade intensification production process strengthening specializationcreating opportunities for the emergence and development of mass productionincreasing the efficiency of introducing new technologiesincreasing employment;international competition necessitates the improvement of enterprises;export earnings serve as a source of capital accumulation aimed at industrial development.

slide number 3

Description of the slide:

Classical theories of international trade Mercantilism is a system of views of economists of the XV-XVII centuries, focused on the active intervention of the state in economic activity. Representatives of the direction: Thomas Maine, William Stafford. The term was proposed by Adam Smith, who criticized the writings of the mercantilists. Main provisions: the need to maintain an active trade balance of the state (excess of exports over imports); recognition of the benefits of attracting gold and other precious metals to the country in order to increase its welfare; money is an incentive for trade, since it is believed that an increase in the mass of money increases the volume of commodity mass; welcome protectionism aimed at importing raw materials and semi-finished products and exporting finished products; restriction on the export of luxury goods, as it leads to the leakage of gold from the state.

slide number 4

Description of the slide:

Adam Smith's Absolute Advantage Theory The real wealth of a country consists of the goods and services available to its citizens. If any country can produce this or that product more and cheaper than other countries, then it has an absolute advantage. Some countries may produce goods more efficiently than others. Natural advantages: climate; territory; resources. Acquired advantages: production technology, that is, the ability to produce a variety of products.

slide number 5

Description of the slide:

David Ricardo's Theory of Comparative Advantage Even when a country has no absolute advantage in anything, trade can be profitable. the law of comparative advantage - it is more profitable for each country to produce and export those goods in the manufacture of which the productivity of labor at its enterprises exceeds the productivity of labor at similar enterprises in other countries. The difference in production costs arises as a result of differences in production methods and in the availability of production factors.

slide number 6

Description of the slide:

Examples of Comparative Advantage The United States exports aircraft, tractors, wheat, electronic computers, optical instruments, but imports ships, some brands of cars and motorcycles, shoes, and clothing. Great Britain has a comparative advantage in the manufacture of tractors, explosives, paints, woolen and fur goods, but not in the manufacture of steel, synthetic and cotton fabrics, footwear and clothing. Saudi Arabia has relative advantages in oil production, since it has large deposits. Chile and Zambia can produce copper relatively cheaply.

slide number 7

Description of the slide:

This theory introduces the concept of a country's competitiveness. It is national competitiveness that determines success or failure in specific industries and the place that a country occupies in the world economy. National competitiveness is determined by the ability of the industry. At the core of the explanation competitive advantage The role of the home country lies in stimulating renewal and improvement (that is, in stimulating the production of innovations). Government measures to maintain competitiveness: government influence on factor conditions; government influence on demand conditions; government influence on related and supporting industries; government influence on firm strategy, structure, and rivalry.

slide number 8

Description of the slide:

Since the second half of the 20th century, international exchange has taken on an “explosive character”, and world trade has been developing at a high pace. In the period 1950-1998. world exports grew 16 times, the period between 1950 and 1970 can be described as a "golden age" in the development of international trade. In the 1970s, world exports fell to 5%, falling further in the 1980s. In the late 80s, he showed a noticeable revival. In the 90s Western Europe- the main center of international trade. Its exports were almost 4 times higher than those of the United States. By the end of the 80s, Japan began to emerge as a leader in terms of competitiveness. In the same period, it was joined by the "new industrial countries" of Asia - Singapore, Hong Kong Taiwan. By the mid-1990s, the United States was once again taking a leading position in the world in terms of competitiveness. Export of goods and services in the world in 2007, according to the WTO, amounted to 16 trillion. USD. The share of the group of goods is 80%, services 20% of the total volume of trade in the world.

Description of the slide:

International exchange of goods Export - export of goods from the country for sale or use in other states. Economic efficiency export is determined by the fact that the country exports those products, the production costs of which are lower than the world ones. Import - the importation of foreign goods into the country from abroad. When importing, the country acquires goods, the production of which is currently economically unprofitable. The total amount of exports and imports is the foreign trade turnover with foreign countries.

Description of the slide:

In 1966, the UN Commission on International Trade Law was established - a subsidiary body of the UN General Assembly. In 1995, a global international organization in the field of international trade rules - the WTO was founded. The World Economic Forum is an international non-governmental organization whose activities are aimed at developing international cooperation. Forums are held in Davos. About 1,000 members of the World Economic Forum (WEF) large companies and organizations from different countries the world, including from Russia.

Description of the slide:

The structure of exports includes about 4 thousand different types of products, but the goods that account for the largest volumes in terms of value are limited to only 10 positions, including primarily oil, gas, non-ferrous and precious metals, and diamonds. The share of fuel and energy resources accounts for about 45% of total exports, for ferrous and non-ferrous metals and products from them - 20%, for chemical industry products - 8-10%, for timber and pulp and paper products - about 4%, for machines, equipment and vehicles- about 10%.

Description of the slide:

"Free trade zone" - a group of countries that have abolished all tariffs in trade among themselves, but have not adopted uniform tariffs in trade with other countries. "Customs Union" - a group of countries that not only abandoned tariffs in trade between themselves, but also introduced a common tariff in relation to other countries. Offshore zones - a financial center that attracts foreign capital by providing special tax and other benefits to foreign companies registered in the country where the center is located.

slide number 19

Description of the slide:

tariffs, or customs duties - taxes on imported goods, expressed as a percentage of their value or as a fixed fee per unit of goods, regardless of its value. Such taxes go to the treasury and are used to cover government spending. By raising the price of goods coming from abroad, tariffs help domestic producers with higher production costs than foreign rivals compete successfully in domestic markets.

slide number 20

Description of the slide:

Quotas are a tougher protectionist measure. Assume the establishment of direct quantitative restrictions on the import of certain goods. Foreign producers can no longer improve their competitive positions by lowering prices. In addition, when quotas are set, the number of importers is also reduced as a result of limiting the volume of imports. Firms that have secured the right to import under such circumstances receive additional profit, since as a result of the introduction of quotas, there is a shortage of quota goods, and the prices of the domestic market for them exceed the world ones. Thus, quotas often lead to corruption, as bribes may be offered to officials distributing import licenses.

slide number 21

Description of the slide:

Subsidies. Tariffs and quotas are set by importing countries to protect national markets from competition with foreign-made goods. However, if domestically produced and exported products begin to lose competitiveness, tariffs and quotas are rendered useless. In such cases, the state sometimes helps national producers strengthen their competitive position by enabling them to sell goods on the world market at prices below the actual cost of production. Such measures allow to increase the volume of exports, however, since such an increase in volume is artificial, the end result is an unsustainable use of resources.

Description of the slide:

indirect trade barriers. Such barriers include the customs regime, classification and valuation of goods, technical standards and sanitary requirements, transport policy, politics public procurement, subsidizing exports and consumption of locally produced products, as well as taxation. Requiring long-term storage of imported goods at the country's borders or other rules that increase the price of goods, such as higher charges for transporting imported goods, government procurement policies predominantly from domestic producers, and taxes on goods produced abroad, restrict international trade.

Description of the slide:

Trade Freedom Rating Since 2008, the WEF has published a report on the status and promotion of global trade. Part of the report is a ranking of countries according to the degree of favorable conditions for the movement of goods and investments across borders. According to the 2010 report, the first place in the list of 121 countries was shared by Singapore and Hong Kong. The last places in the ranking are occupied by Venezuela and Chad. Russia ranked 109th in terms of the integral indicator and 113th in terms of the accessibility of external and internal markets.

Description of the slide:

- the direction of economic thought of the XVI-XVII centuries, whose prominent representative was T. Mann (1571-1641), studied the problems of foreign trade. Mercantilists believed that foreign trade was necessary for the country to accumulate gold, which was considered the main source of the nation's wealth. The flow of gold into the country is ensured if the export of goods for which the state receives gold is greater than the import, for which the precious metal must be paid. Therefore, the mercantilists advocated the expansion of exports and the all-round restriction of imports. Mercantilism

Description of the slide:

Adam Smith put forward the theory of world trade, substantiating the need for liberalization of imports and relaxation of customs restrictions. Smith's approach was called the PRINCIPLE OF ABSOLUTE ADVANTAGE Each country should specialize in the production of goods whose average cost is less than the average cost in other countries Absolute advantage in any product is determined by endowment with appropriate resources. By exporting part of the goods, with the proceeds, the country purchases goods, in the production of which the other country has an advantage

Description of the slide:

NEOTECHNOLOGICAL THEORIES OF WORLD TRADE These theories explain, for example, the reasons for trade between countries, while the structure and technical specifications factors of production are similar. Within the framework of these theories, the possibilities of new developing equipment and technology are taken into account. High-volume production Decreasing unit costs Decreasing prices Economists pay attention to the continuous technological changes that firms make in order to create competitive advantages. The Netherlands, for example, exports flowers worth more than $1 billion a year, using improved greenhouses heated by electricity or gas and air transport to deliver the goods to consumers.

7 slide

Description of the slide:

Patterns of development of world trade World trade is growing very rapidly, the export shares of countries in the volume of GDP are increasing. In 1950 world exports of goods and services accounted for 13% of world GDP, in 2000. - 17.1%, in 2015, according to the forecast, it will be 18.7%. The share of finished products, especially high-tech, knowledge-intensive products, is growing. The prices of machinery and equipment produced by the leading countries of the world are growing rapidly. Reducing the demand of developed countries for raw materials and food produced by developing countries. Their position in world trade is deteriorating. Profitability of foreign trade for developed countries is growing. Increasing the global market for services, especially tourism, transport, finance, technology transfer. The leaders are developed countries.

8 slide

Description of the slide:

To assess the benefits of international trade for a country, economists use the terms of trade index. The terms of trade index is the quotient of dividing the index of average export prices by the index of average import prices of the country in a particular period of time. Its decrease shows that for the purchase of a unit of imported goods, more and more proceeds from exported goods have to be spent.

Foreign trade statistics is an integral and main part of WEC statistics. The main participants in international trade are economically developed countries (over 60%).

"World trade" - 5. Intra-industry trade reflects the differentiation of similar goods. Exports of technologically low-intensity products (the share of R&D costs is less than 1%) increased 14 times. Main exporters of goods: USA, Germany, Japan, France, China. Export of technologically high-capacity products (more than 10%) - 14 times.

Porter's theory of competition. Modern approaches to the problem of international competition Teachings of A. Smith and D. Ricardo about absolute and comparative advantages.

slide 4

Protectionism and free trade. Views of the mercantilists Representatives of the theory: A. Montchretien, T. Man. The increase in gold reserves is the most important task of the state, and foreign trade must, above all, ensure the receipt of gold. The trade policy was oriented towards the all-round encouragement of exports and restriction of imports by establishing customs duties for foreign goods.

slide 5

The theory of factors of production and their relationship The founder of the doctrine - J. B. Say, followers of E. Heckscher and B. Ohlin. The assessment of factors predetermines three circumstances: the countries participating in international exchange have a tendency to export those goods and services for the manufacture of which predominantly factors that are in excess are used, and, conversely, to import those products for which there is a shortage of any factors; the development of international trade leads to the equalization of "factorial" prices, i.e. income received by the owner of this factor; with sufficient international mobility of factors of production, it is possible to replace the export of goods by the movement of the factors themselves between countries.

slide 6

Life cycle concept Representatives of this approach are R.Vernon, Ch.Kindelberger and L.Wales. The life cycle of a product includes the following main stages: Implementation - it is characterized by increased labor intensity of the product; Growth - exports from the country of innovation are expanding, competition is intensifying, there is a tendency to increase the capital intensity of production; Maturity - market saturation begins to be felt, primarily in the country of innovation, demand stabilizes, the role of pricing policy increases; Decline - characterized by a narrowing of the market in developed countries, a greater concentration of production in developing countries.

Three stages of development of foreign trade 1. 40 years before the start of the First World War (volume increased 3 times); 2. Between the First and Second World Wars (the volume did not increase, stagnation occurred); 3. 1950-1970 - "Golden Age" of trade (a sharp increase in the volume of trade).

The main forms of m / n trade: Rent - is widely practiced in the trade in machinery and equipment, in the form of export credits. When renting, it is not intended to transfer ownership of the goods. Allocate: short-term medium-term long-term

slide 13

Countertrade is a set of transactions, at the conclusion of which the purchase of products is accompanied by reciprocal deliveries of goods. Types of counter trade: Barter - an equivalent exchange of goods. The transaction must be concluded on goods that have the same value. Negativity of barter: increases inflation, no tax revenue from the transaction. Positivity: ease of transaction, no financial transactions. Counterpurchases is an agreement that, in the case of exporting products to a country, involves the purchase of a number of goods from this country.

slide 14

Compensation agreement - the agreement provides for the sale of manufactured equipment on the terms of commercial loans with subsequent repayment of the debt by deliveries of products manufactured on this equipment. Clearing - the difference between prices - is a system of non-cash settlements based on the offset of mutual claims and obligations of the parties involved in the settlements. Offset deals - trade in expensive equipment - construction of nuclear power plants, hydroelectric power stations, sale of weapons, ships - a deal that terminates the obligations of the parties on the futures exchange.

slide 15

M / n auctions and tenders - the form involves an announcement of a competition for sellers of goods with certain technical and economic characteristics. Types of trades: open (public) and closed. Commodity exchanges are one of the most important types of trade, mainly in agricultural and commodities. Main commodities: cereals, sugar, cocoa, coffee, rubber, cotton, certain types of non-ferrous metals, petroleum products and chemical products. Commodity prices are set on the basis of exchange quotations. Implementation is carried out without preliminary examination, according to samples and standards, according to advance established dimensions minimum lot.

slide 16

M/n auctions - a way of selling individual lots and items that are put up for inspection in turn and are considered sold to the one who gives the highest price. Main auction items: furs, unwashed wool, tea, spices, antiques.

The structure of international trade International trade Export Import Export of manufactured goods Import of goods from abroad abroad Foreign trade balance = E - I Foreign trade turnover = E + I "Terms of trade" - the ratio of export and import price indices. (+ if Ötz grows faster than Öz) Re-export - export of previously imported goods that have not been processed. Re-import - re-import from abroad into the country of domestic goods that have not undergone processing.

CHANGES IN THE GEOGRAPHICAL STRUCTURE OF WORLD TRADE -Leadership of developed countries - 3/4 of world exports of goods countries with economies in transition - 3.5% of world trade

slide 19

Leading exporting countries (according to WTO data) Germany - 9.3% USA - 8.7% China - 7.3% Japan, France, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Italy Canada, Belgium According to WTO economists, exports of Russian goods increased in 2012 year by 17% to $ 355 billion. Thanks to this, Russia took 7th place, and its share in world exports of goods amounted to 3.5%. During the same period, imports of goods to Russia rose by as much as 35% to $223. This is 2.1% of world imports of goods and 10th in the world. In terms of export of commercial services, Russia ranked 25th in the world with $38 billion (+25% compared to 2008), and 16th in terms of imports with $57 billion (+30%). Foreign trade turnover of Russia according to the methodology of the balance of payments in August 2012 amounted (in actual prices) to 42.7 billion US dollars (1351.1 billion rubles), including exports - 27.1 billion dollars (857.2 billion rubles), imports - 15.6 billion. dollars (493.9 billion rubles).

slide 21

Foreign trade policy is a set of public funds and methods in the field of foreign trade, aimed at regulating exports and imports, in order to strengthen the position of the country. The main objectives of foreign trade policy are: to change the way and degree of inclusion of a given country in the international division of labor; changes in the volume of exports and imports; change in the structure of foreign trade; providing the country with the necessary resources; change in the ratio of export and import prices.

slide 22

Types of state regulation of international trade: Unilateral - Bilateral - Multilateral -

slide 23

Forms of foreign trade policy: 1) Autarky - at present, this policy is a relic of the past. This policy involves the isolation of the country, the creation of a closed, self-sustaining economy: self-isolation or imposed isolation, for example, North Korea - self-isolation, Cuba, Iraq - imposed.

slide 24

2. Protectionism is the foreign trade policy of the state, aimed at protecting the domestic market from foreign competition, as well as supporting domestic producers in foreign markets. 3. Liberalization is the process of reducing customs and non-tariff barriers to the development of international trade. 4. Moderate trade policy -

slide 25

Forms of protectionism: selective protectionism - directed against individual countries or goods; industry protectionism - protects certain industries, primarily Agriculture; collective protectionism - carried out by associations of countries in relation to countries that are not members of them; covert protectionism - carried out by methods of domestic economic policy.

slide 27

Tariff methods; non-tariff methods. Essence of the first method. The global organization that regulates the customs and tariff issues of world trade is the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Customs duties are a monetary fee, or an instrument of administrative and quantitative regulation of imports, collected by the state through a network of customs offices from goods, property and valuables when they cross the country's border. Customs tariffs - a list of goods and a system of rates at which they are subject to duties; classic national remedy economic management import.

slide 28

The customs tariff contains: -Name and classification of taxable goods -Duty rates -Methods of accrual and payment of customs fees -List of duty-free passable products -List of goods prohibited for export and import into the country. Objectives of customs duties: -Restriction of imports (in the Russian Federation - exports) -Fiscal objectives -Prevention of "unfair competition"

slide 30

Non-tariff restrictions Non-tariff measures are measures that affect trade, but go beyond the measures provided for in the regulatory legal act on the customs tariff of the state. These measures can be defined as the rules and regulations by which the state has a direct impact on the subjects of foreign trade activity, determines the structure of the domestic market, protecting it both from import supplies and from the possibility of a shortage of domestic goods in this market.

slide 31

Non-tariff methods: A. Quantitative restrictions 1. Import-export quotas -export -import 2. Licensing - -auction -explicit preference system -distribution of licenses on a non-price basis 3. "Voluntary" export restrictions

International trade What is international trade? International trade is a system of international commodity-money relations, consisting of foreign trade of all countries of the world. International trade arose in the process of the emergence of the world market in the XVI-XVIII centuries. Its development is one of important factors development of the world economy of modern times. The term international trade was first used in the 12th century by the Italian economist Antonio Margaretti, the author of the economic treatise The Power of the Masses in Northern Italy. Benefits of participating in international trade:

  • the intensification of the reproduction process in national economies is a consequence of increased specialization, creating opportunities for the emergence and development of mass production, increasing the degree of equipment workload, and increasing the efficiency of introducing new technologies;
  • an increase in export deliveries entails an increase in employment;
  • international competition necessitates the improvement of enterprises;
  • export earnings serve as a source of capital accumulation aimed at industrial development.
Classical theories of international trade. Mercantilism Mercantilism is a system of views of economists of the XV-XVII centuries, focused on the active intervention of the state in economic activity. Representatives of the direction: Thomas Maine, Antoine de Montchretien, William Stafford. The term was proposed by Adam Smith, who criticized the works of the mercantilists. Basic provisions:
  • the need to maintain an active trade balance of the state (excess of exports over imports);
  • recognition of the benefits of attracting gold and other precious metals to the country in order to increase its well-being;
  • money is an incentive for trade, since it is believed that an increase in the mass of money increases the volume of the mass of commodities;
  • welcome protectionism aimed at importing raw materials and semi-finished products and exporting finished products;
  • restriction on the export of luxury goods, as it leads to the leakage of gold from the state.
Adam Smith's Absolute Advantage Theory The real wealth of a country consists of the goods and services available to its citizens. If any country can produce this or that product more and cheaper than other countries, then it has an absolute advantage. Some countries may produce goods more efficiently than others. The country's resources flow into profitable industries, as the country cannot compete in unprofitable industries. This leads to an increase in the productivity of the country, as well as the qualification of the workforce; long periods of production homogeneous products provide incentives for the production of more effective methods work. Natural Benefits:
  • climate;
  • territory;
  • resources.
  • Acquired advantages: production technology, that is, the ability to produce a variety of products.
David Ricardo's Theory of Comparative Advantage Specializing in the production of a product with the greatest comparative advantage is advantageous even if there is no absolute advantage. A country should specialize in exporting the goods in which it has the largest absolute advantage (if it has an absolute advantage in both goods) or the smallest absolute disadvantage (if it has an absolute advantage in neither product). Specialization in certain types of goods is beneficial for each of these countries and leads to an increase in total production, trade is motivated even if one country has an absolute advantage in the production of all goods over another country. An example in this case would be the exchange of English cloth for Portuguese wine, which benefits both countries... The Heckscher-Ohlin theory According to this theory, a country exports a good for which a relatively surplus factor of production is intensively used, and imports goods for the production of which it experiencing a relative shortage of factors of production. Necessary conditions for existence:
  • countries participating in international exchange have a tendency to export those goods and services for the manufacture of which they use mainly production factors that are in excess, and, conversely, a tendency to import those products for which there is a shortage of any factors;
  • the development of international trade leads to the equalization of "factor" prices, that is, the income received by the owner of this factor;
  • it is possible, given sufficient international mobility of factors of production, to replace the export of goods by the movement of the factors themselves between countries.
Michael Porter's Theory This theory introduces the concept of a country's competitiveness. It is national competitiveness, according to Porter, that determines the success or failure in specific industries and the place that the country occupies in the world economy. National competitiveness is determined by the ability of the industry. At the heart of explaining a country's competitive advantage is the home country's role in stimulating renewal and improvement (that is, in stimulating the production of innovations). Government measures to maintain competitiveness:
  • government impact on factor conditions;
  • government influence on demand conditions;
  • government impact on related and supporting industries;
  • government influence on the strategy, structure and rivalry of firms.
Rybchinsky's theorem The theorem states that if the value of one of the two factors of production increases, then in order to maintain the prices of goods and factors constant, it is necessary to increase the production of those products in which this increased factor is intensively used, and to reduce the production of the rest of the products that intensively use the fixed factor. factor. In order for the prices of goods to remain constant, the prices of factors of production must remain unchanged. The prices of factors of production can only remain constant if the ratio of the factors used in the two industries remains constant. In the case of an increase in one factor, this can only happen if there is an increase in production in the industry in which this factor is intensively used, and a decrease in production in another industry, which will lead to the release of a fixed factor, which will become available for use along with a growing factor in an expanding industry. . Theory of Samuelson and Stolper In the middle of the XX century. (1948), American economists P. Samuelson and W. Stolper improved the Heckscher-Ohlin theory, imagining that in the case of the homogeneity of production factors, the identity of technology, perfect competition and full mobility of goods, international exchange equalizes the price of factors of production between countries. The authors base their concept on the Ricardian model with the additions of Heckscher and Ohlin and consider trade not just as a mutually beneficial exchange, but also as a means to reduce the gap in the level of development between countries. Leontief's paradox The essence of the paradox is that the share of capital-intensive goods in exports will grow, while the share of labor-intensive goods will decrease. Product life cycle Some products go through a five-stage cycle:
  • product development. The company finds and implements new idea goods. During this time, sales are zero and costs rise.
  • bringing the product to market. No profit due to high marketing costs, slow growth in sales
  • fast market conquest, profit increase
  • maturity. Sales growth is slowing down, as the bulk of consumers have already been attracted. The level of profit remains unchanged or decreases due to an increase in the cost of marketing activities to protect the product from competition
  • decline. Decreased sales and reduced profits.
Dynamics of development of international trade C early XIX in. before 1914 the volume of world trade had grown almost a hundred times. Since the second half of the 20th century, when international exchange, according to M. Pebro's definition, acquires an "explosive character", world trade has been developing at a high pace. The WTO states that in recent decades the volume of world trade has been growing much faster than the entire world production. So, for 1950-2000. world trade grew 20 times, and production - 6 times. In 1999, total exports amounted to 26.4% of world production, compared with 8% in 1950. In the period 1950-1998. world exports grew 16 times. According to Western experts, the period between 1950 and 1970 can be characterized as a "golden age" in the development of international trade. Dynamics of development of international trade In the 70s, world exports fell to 5%, decreasing even more in the 80s. In the late 80s, he showed a noticeable revival. Since the second half of the 20th century, the uneven dynamics of foreign trade has manifested itself. In the 1990s, Western Europe was the main center of international trade. Its exports were almost 4 times higher than those of the United States. By the end of the 80s, Japan began to emerge as a leader in terms of competitiveness.
