Proponents of trade liberalization emphasize the role of trade and economic integration between less developed and more developed economies as an engine for development and improved standards of living. Nowhere is this argument more salient, and more controversial, than in the discussion of US-Mexico trade, and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) specifically. As the Heckscher-Ohlin- Samuelson (HOS) model informs much of the rhetoric and policy surrounding the USMexico trade relationship, we attempt a partial test of the model and its assumptions regarding labour and employment in the case of the Mexican economy. Specifically, we focus on the Heckscher-Ohlin (HO) theorem and the Factor Price Equalization (FPE) theorem. We conclude that although economic analysts recognize that the model does not account the complexity of Mexico's domestic economy and international trade relationships, it continues to permeate rhetoric, remaining the dominant paradigm for proponents of NAFTA on both sides of the border.Keywords

This study tests the presence and behavior of the 'twin deficits'-a shorthand term referring to the trade and budget deficits-in India's economy between 1995 and 2010. Although each deficit is thought to have its own unique set of triggers, theoretical analyses and empirical studies have attempted to document and analyze the extent to which, and how, they act as 'twins' (i.e. move together over time). The period of analysis in this study provides an interesting case study because it is fully situated in India's period of 'liberalization,' after a balance of payments (BOP) crisis in the early 1990s catalyzed a set of reforms designed to improve the government and trade budgets. Our approach employs regression models and causality tests to find that while there is evidence of twin deficits in India over the time period in question, the direction of the causal relationship between these deficits stems from the trade deficit to the budget deficit, which is contrary to the direction that standard theory would predict.Keywords

As the world becomes increasingly globalized, many explanations have been offered for international trade. In recent years, China has emerged onto the global scene as a large player in the international trade market. From this market expansion, China’s wealth has grown tremendously, raising millions of its citizens from poverty and expanding its influence beyond its borders notwithstanding the negative forces of 2020 and corona episode. The growth of China since 1990 has been sharp and fast, leading to the unprecedented increase in per capita income of average Chinese. This paper summarizes three theoretical explanations for International trade, and applies them to China in an attempt to develop a comprehensive explanation for this rapid growth. Heckscher-Ohlin Theory of trade is tested, in addition to the gravity model and intra-industry trade theory. The paper then concludes by examining the relevance and identifying the limitations of these theories, including political and economic factors such as intellectual property theft and human rights violations. As China continues to rival the U.S. as the global hegemon, we think that a developed understanding of the drivers of Chinese growth is of utmost importance.

The gravity model of international trade has been found to provide accurate predictions relating to the quantity and reasons why countries trade with each other. In a simple model that is very similar to Newton’s law of gravitation, the gravity model predicts that nations will trade more with countries that have larger economies and with countries that are closer in distance – in the same way that objects feel greater attraction to more massive objects and objects that are closer in distance. This paper will further explain the gravity model and some of the potential variables that could also impact bilateral trade between two countries and limit the effectiveness of the gravity model through the use of current literature. An empirical section follows, in which data are tested for 167 of Brazil’s trading partners to see how effective the gravity model is at predicting trade volumes in this case. In the end, this paper concludes that the gravity model is sufficiently successful in predicting the trade volumes of Brazil and its trading partners for the test year of 2018.

Nigeria is Africa's largest country by population and one of the continent's largest economies. Still, growth in the West African nation has been mostly fueled by the oil sector, and has proven incredibly unreliable. This paper looks at the implementation of the Infant Industry Argument as a justification for restrictive trade policies in Nigeria, and the negative impacts that those restrictions have had in terms of the diversification of the Nigerian manufacturing economy. The paper looks at relative literature around the topic, as well as data important in understanding the effect of trade restrictions on Nigeria's economy.References

International Trade has long debated as a source of economic growth for countries. Economists such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Eli Hecksher and Bertil Ohlin, and others have all put forward ideas and models for how countries benefit from international trade, at times building on their predecessorswork.AdamSmith started with his theory of absolute advantage of production, and countries specializing in the products they could produce at a lower cost. These goods would then be exported in exchange for similarly produced goods. David Ricardo Expanded this model looking instead at the theory of comparative advantage. Hecksher and Ohlin continued this trend looking at factor endowments for beneficial trade. Trade can increase the welfare in all countries, but import tariffs then reduce the welfare gained from trade. There are many reasons for protectionism including undesirable specialization, instability in the export market, terms of trade deterioration, aiding infant industries and others. These theories are applied to the situation in Kuwait and it's policies of protectionism. Kuwait currently allows only Kuwaiti individuals and Kuwaiti majority shareholder firms to import into the country, and there is a 5% ad valorem tax on most nonfood items. In early 2006 there was a modernization of the Kuwaiti customs system resulting in an increased efficiency, which then caused an increase in imports. This is verified in the data obtained from the World Bank. The result being an ease in trade leads toincreased tradeandoverallwelfare.- Understanding the effect of Dutch Disease On The Economy Of A Developing Country:The Nigerian Case

Nigeria is one of many developing economies affected by the "Dutch Disease"- a concept that diagnoses the case of a country so poor yet so rich even with abundant resources. Is it possible to have resource endowment and have a slow growing economy with little or no infrastructural development? In 2009, studies showed that there has been a steady decline in life expectancy and standard of living since the discovery of crude oil in Nigeria in 1956. This is a misnomer as the country has "earned more than US$300 billion from crude oil" (Okonjo-Iweala, 2012, p.4) but corruption, infant mortality, and poor infrastructure has become the bane of the economy impeding any of form of development. In this paper, the concept of Dutch disease as it affects Nigeria is considered with a view to understanding the major culprits in the country's case. It is also surmised that the chief culprit for a nation's poverty is not always the lack of abundant natural resources but lack of planning, preparedness , transparency , mismanagement of these resources and a high level of corruption. It has been concluded that Nigeria as a nation of talented and industrious people would have fared better economically and as a consequence politically, if crude oil had not been discovered and exploited. Some evidence is the gradual decline of GDP, the increase in unemployment rate and the continued increase in the country's poverty level. These should not be the indices of a resource-rich country.- A Case Study:Impact of International Liberalization on the Indian Economy

This paper, using the Solow growth model looks at the impact of liberalization on India's economic growth. Additionally, using empirical data, it analyzes the patterns, processes, and characteristics of India's economic growth. The Solow model explains the long run economic growth via the change in the Solow residuals. This paper defines the Solow residual as International trade. This paper will show that International trade and fewer regulations on exports and imports have ignited high economic growth in India. After the late 1980s, India saw an immense increase in international trade. Led by low tariff rates, India saw a hike in exports and imports and more importantly, foreign investments. With the backing of facts and figures, this paper will show that India has actually benefited in terms of economic growth from international trade. With liberalization, India has not only had success in the macro level, but it has also impacted people in terms of per capita income in the micro level. This paper is broken down into 4 sections. The first section gives an introduction to India and its relevance to the Solow model. The second section explores the theoretical framework of the Solow model. The third section uses the empirical data to examine the impact of liberalization on India (pre and post reformation). Finally, the fourth section is the analysis and conclusion section which compares India to other South Asian counties and gives policy recommendation.Keywords

Many developing countries are experiencing rapid population growth, and this phenomenon has the potential to cause various economic, social, and environmental problems in such countries. Accordingly, this paper will explore the issue of expanding populations and their affect on a country's socioeconomic status by examining various population growth theories and applying them to a specific country. First, we will consider global population growth in detail, followed by a summary of the various views as to whether larger populations affect economic development positively or negatively. Next, we will observe the case of Egypt, a highly populated country whose rapid growth has been a focus of government policy for the last six decades. Finally, given Egypt's example, we will reach a conclusion as to how other developing countries might best solve their own population growth problems and consequently better develop economically as well as socially.Keywords

The stability for Demand for Money (DFM hereafter) functional form has been a hot topic amongst Monetarists and Keynesian economists since the 1970s. Numerous studies have since been in search of the proper estimates of the DFM function and its determinants. This paper is a revisit of Kulkarni-Yuan (2006) paper, “Demand for Money in an Open Economy Setting: A Case of India”. It will compare K-Y Vector Error Correction Model (VECM hereafter) regression model for a closed and open economy using 12 years of additional data up to 2016, to new VECM regressions using data spanning for 48 years. With over half the data now available under an open economy setting, we should see an open economy model being the appropriate model to apply to India’s open economy. After running the regressions, we observe that our findings are consistent with traditional Monetarist theory where real GDP being the most significant determinant of demand for money, and interest rate and other variables have little lower effect than GDP. In case of India, this is quite consistent with expectations because interest rates are not inherently very flexible.Keywords

Many individuals remember the Golden Triangle as the drug trafficking center of the World. However, Thailand, Myanmar and Laos have each taken contrasting paths of economic development. The paper aims to explore the countries’ varying approaches to tariff policy and its effects on the economy. The first part of the paper describes some of the important theoretical perspectives to international trade such as comparative advantage, the Heckscher-Olin theorem and the gravity model, before discussing tariffs and other obstructions to free trade. The next part of the paper delves deeper into the tariff policies of the Golden Triangle countries and their effects. Thailand emerges as the most economically successful of the three countries and she has successfully used tariffs to implement more sustainable development. Myanmar still has several tariffs and sanctions, except for when dealing with other ASEAN countries. The instability of the government is a concern for Myanmar if they want to become more successful. The Laotian government has recently cut most tariffs and is starting to see much more development and economic growth as a result. The paper concludes that, free trade is imperative to economic success and free trade is perfectly represented in the differing stages of development that the three counties currently occupy. Hopefully, each can continue to develop and prosper through more liberalization of their economies.Keywords

Mexico joined the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in 1986 and less than a decade later joined the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with the United States and Canada in 1994. Before these trade liberalizing moves, Mexico had hit a few bumps in the road when it came to stimulating economic growth. Unfortunately, the post NAFTA world and especially the COVID-19 world have only left more bruises on Mexico’s economy. Most economists will agree that the Mexican economy is currently in struggling shape and that some positive effects of NAFTA did not help. The purpose of this paper is to point out the small handful of economic aspects from NAFTA that had a positive effect on Mexican Trade and the Mexican economy. After explaining each aspect of what worked and why it did not last, we will conclude with what we can learn from this and what can be changed looking forward.Keywords

This paper aims to explain and test Jagdish Bhagwati’s theory on Immiserizing Growth, focusing on export elasticity of demand. The Immiserizing Growth Hypothesis refers to the phenomenon when a country’s economic growth through international trade harms its citizens’ welfare because its Terms of Trade (TOT) deteriorate from increased exports (Bhagwati, 1958). Since then, other scholars have argued the theory lacks real-world consideration and finds almost no real-world case where the theory holds (Pryor, 2007). The core of Bhagawati's theory is not just the relationship between the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth and increase in the poverty rate, but also how the deterioration of TOT and increasing trade cause Immiserizing Growth. How does the elasticity of a country’s export sector affect that country’s TOT? Does Dr. Bhagwati’s causation still stand today? The paper's first section explains Bhagwati’s theory in detail and examines past publications and studies on Immiserizing Growths. Then, the study applies the approach to Madagascar’s economy from 1993 to 2008, excluding fiscal years 2002 and 2003 due to election violence. The case study hopes to establish causality between export supply inelasticity and the occurrence of Immiserizing Growth using empirical data. Lastly, the paper concludes with potential future case study plans and impacts.

The widespread COVID-19 pandemic has devastated the world economy unprecedently. The developed economy even shows considerable weakness in dealing with and effectively managing pandemic issues. The pandemic aftermath is also terrible for many developing countries, which will be beyond their control. With the economic fragility and weaker development planning, many developing countries may not handle the aftermath and the consequences will be deadly. Due to sudden livelihood failure and meager income opportunities, developing countries’ impoverished households will face hardship. Widespread hunger and malnutrition might be unavoidable consequences for many developing countries. This research will focus on how this pandemic can create hunger and protracted crisis in developing countries as an immediate and long-term consequence of the recent pandemic. Using real world experiences from Asia and Africa, from Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa in particular, this study explores how the current pandemic may create short-term and long-term food insecurity and hunger in developing countries.Keywords
