Enclosed Space

The production in the free export zones, or free zones for short, has enabled many countries to integrate into international trade. By locating their domestic industries as well as foreign investors in a specially enclosed space, free trade zones, a large number of countries, closed for foreign trade transactions, have succeeded in expanding their exports, increasing employment of the population and capacities and developing their markets. This process was typically accompanied by an increase in national competitiveness of the domestic country, its free zone and its share in the international market. This paper aims to point out the role of free export production zones in the strategy of increasing Serbian exports as well as in the strategy of attracting export-oriented direct foreign investments into Serbia.

Since the establishment of the first free trade zone in Shanghai in 2013, as of 2018, China has successively established 13 free trade zones. This paper uses a multi-period difference method and uses the financial data of Chinese A-share listed companies to prove the construction of the FTZ help to improve the TFP of the enterprise. The annual patent data obtained by the company is used to empirically analyze the role of innovation as a mediating effect in the development of the FTZ. In the end, it is believed that the construction of the FTZ can improve the TFP of enterprises through intermediary effects and regulatory effects.

This chapter examines the strategies employed in international trade in ancient Greece. It explains how the rules of trade and the distribution of “natural advantages” played the role of a system of constraints within which genuine strategies of foreign trade could be constructed. To better understand the specificity of these trade strategies, the chapter first considers the two institutional logics that prevailed in the international market: the first consisted in setting up a “surpluses for surpluses” trade strategy; the second allowed trade partners to act freely. The notions of mutual trade and nondirectional trade are discussed, along with the case of grain. The chapter also looks at the strategies used by cities to control grain trade, such as laws prohibiting grain exports, before concluding with an analysis of the grain policy of Athens as well as food production and supply in Aegean cities.

Shared Activity

AbstractEconomic theory teaches that it is in every country’s interest to trade. Trade is a voluntary activity among consenting parties. On this view, considerations of justice have little bearing on trade, and political philosophers concerned with global justice should stay largely silent on trade. According to a very different view that has recently gained prominence, international trade can only occur before the background of an international market reliance practice shaped by states. Trade is a shared activity among states, and all participating states have in principle equal claims to gains from trade. Trade then becomes a central topic for political philosophers. Both views are problematic. A third view about the role of trade in a theory of global justice is then presented, which gives pride of place to a (non-Marxian) notion of exploitation. The other two views should be abandoned.

It focuses on the creation of favorable macroeconomic conditions for attracting direct (real) foreign investments to implement innovative projects. As a result of the study of investment conditions on the basis of PEST-analysis, the key factors of IA development were identified and their possible future impact (both positive and negative) was assessed. The results of the PEST-analysis allow their implementation in the program development and also in the investment activity management mechanisms.

This study investigates the role of value-added bilateral trade focused on global value chains to achieve sustainable economic development. Our findings address trade policy implications that help to mitigate the global imbalances and exchange rate conflicts. These policies are expected to provide a competitive advantage that can be crucial to the sustainability of free trade. We apply traditional trade models to the value-added framework to examine the effects on value-added trade. Empirically, we investigate the bilateral value-added trade for recent years. Our major findings are that currency devaluation has a positive effect on value-added exports but has a negative effect on gross exports because of the effect on intermediate goods trading dominating the effect on international trade, i.e., the effect on foreign content of intermediate imports dominating the effect on the domestic content of exports. The same effect applies to imports. Also, we confirm that foreign income has a positive effect on exports and value-added exports, and domestic income has a positive effect on imports and value-added imports. However, their effects on trade balance are not consistent. Our major findings imply that the analysis of value-added trade can best contribute to the sustainability of global free trade by considering trade policies as a result of reflecting the easing of the global imbalance and the exchange rate war.

The Impact

The growing volumes of international trade and lowering of tariff barriers have triggered continuing debate and analysis on the impact of international trade on poverty. The United Nations has identified eradication of poverty – especially of extreme poverty – as its number one Millennium Development Goal (MDG). This paper tries to assess the relevance of trade in reducing poverty in India and promoting pro-poor growth through a survey of the existing literature and concludes that a strong performance on the international market can help reduce domestic poverty in developing countries. Through a review of the literature on this topic, the author finds that there is strong empirical evidence in favour of the growth enhancing effects of exports and trade in general. Furthermore, a number of detailed microeconomic studies using firm-level and household data show that exporting can lead to productivity, growth and directly reduce poverty through wage and employment effects.

Although international trade is essential to the social and economic well-being of our country as well as to our domestic employment situation, relatively few domestic firms are actively involved in exporting. The need and opportunities for international trade are present for small firms. Export Trading Companies may provide the necessary support for small firms to realize their international market opportunities. This paper defines the role of export trading companies and explores their impact on the activities of a typical small business. The attitudes of small businesses toward exporting and the relationships between Export Trading Companies and its member firms are explored.

Ultimate Outcome

This reflection assesses the incentives of the Burundian code of investments of 2008 as for their extent and effectiveness. It shows that the 2008 Burundi Investment Code has created a favorable business climate. It provides for very generous tax and customs incentives that can influence foreign investors in the choice of destination for their investments. However, these incentives have been constantly nibbled following the entry into force of the budget laws of 2016 and 2017 and even a straddle of the general tax code of 2013. From the analysis, it appears that these incentives have lost their substance and that the 2008 code and the Free Zone Act of 2001 have become lapsed instruments that display incentives that have been flawed to the point that some have even been removed. Given the fact that there is a gap between the planned and the actual incentives, there is a need to compile these incentives to identify those that have become archaic and to redefine them to make a new one. The ultimate outcome of this work would be the revision of the investment code of 2008. It is in this respect that the Burundian legislator could reinforce predictability and transparency and keep in the logic of increasing the flow of foreign investments that can generate new sources of financing for development.
