| ARTICLES RELATED TO International trade | | |  |  |  | International trade: Encyclopedia II - World Trade Organization - CritiqueThe stated aim of the WTO is to promote free trade, stimulate economic growth and hence make people's lives more prosperous. Many believe that free trade is not the right way to make people's lives more prosperous but only grants the rich the means to become richer through the loss of the general population.
The WTO also promotes economic globalization, which anti-globalization activists consider problematic. WTO treaties have been accused of a partial and unfair bias toward multinational corporations and wealthy nations.
The WTO is critic ...

|  |  |  | International trade: Encyclopedia II - Heckscher-Ohlin model - Features of the modelRelative endowments of the factors of production (land, labour, and capital) determine a country's comparative advantage. Countries have comparative advantage in those goods for which the required factors of production are relatively abundant. This is because the prices of goods are ultimately determined by the prices of their inputs. Goods that require inputs that are locally abundant will be cheaper to produc ...

|  |  |  | International trade: Encyclopedia II - Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act - Congressional SponsorsThe act was championed by Senator Reed Smoot, a Republican from Utah, and Representative Willis C. Hawley, a Republican from Oregon. President Herbert Hoover had asked Congress for a downward revision in rates, but Congress raised rates instead. While many economists urged a veto, Hoover thought he could finesse the law through the U. S. Tariff Commission, and signed the bill.
Opponents of the measure organized a petition signed by 1,000 economists who expresse ...

World Trade Organization - 1st ministerial conference.
The inaugural ministerial conference was held in Singapore in 1996. Disagreements between largely developed and developing economies emerged during this conference over four issues initiated by this conference, which led to them being collectively referred to as the "Singapore issues".

The third conference ended in failure ...

|  |  |  | International trade: Encyclopedia II - Heckscher-Ohlin model - Theoretical development of the modelThe Ricardian model of comparative advantage has trade ultimately motivated by differences in labour productivity using different technologies. Heckscher and Ohlin didn't require production technology to vary between countries, so (in the interests of simplicity) the H-O model has identical production technology everywhere. Ricardo considered a single factor of production (labour) and would not have been able to produce comparative advantage without technological differences between countries (all nations would become autarkies ...

|  |  |  | International trade: Encyclopedia II - Heckscher-Ohlin model - Conclusions of the modelThe results of this work has been the formulation of certain named conclusions arising from the assumptions inherent in the model. These are known as:
Heckscher-Ohlin model - Heckscher-Ohlin theorem.
The exports of a capital-abundant country will be from Capital intensive industries, and labour-abundant countries will import such goods, exporting labour intensive goods in return. Competitive pressures within the H-O model produce this prediction fairly straightforwardly. Conveniently, this is an easily testable hypothesis.

|  |  |  | International trade: Encyclopedia II - Heckscher-Ohlin model - Econometric testing of H-O model theoremsHeckscher and Ohlin considered the Factor-Price Equalization theorem an econometric success because the large volume of international trade in the late 19th and early 20th centuries coincided with the convergence of commodity and factor prices worldwide.
Modern econometric estimates have shown the model to perform poorly, however, and adjustments have been suggested, most importantly the assumption that technology ...

|  |  |  | International trade: Encyclopedia II - World Trade Organization - Trade negotiationsWhile most international organisations operate on a one country, one vote or even a weighted voting basis, many WTO decisions, such as adopting agreements (and revisions to them) are officially determined by consensus of all member states. The advantage of consensus decision-making is that it encourages efforts to find the most widely acceptable decision. Main disadvantages include large time requirements and many rounds of negotiation to develop a consensus decision, and the tendency for final agreements to use ambiguous language on contentious ...

| | |  |  |  | International trade: Encyclopedia II - International law - The scope of international lawInternational law establishes the framework and the criteria for identifying states as the principal actors in the international legal system. As the existence of a state presupposes control and jurisdiction over territory, international law deals with the acquisition of territory, state immunity and the legal responsibility of states in their conduct with each other. The law is similarly concerned with the treatment of individuals within state boundaries. There is thus a comprehensive regime dealing with group rights, the treatment of alien ...

Oda Nobunaga - Young Nobunaga.
In 1534, Nobunaga was born to regional daimyo Oda Nobuhide in the Shobata Castle. He was Nobuhide's third son; however, he was the first son not born to a concubine and so was the heir to the Oda clan and domain in the Owari province. He was made the master of Nagoya Castle at a young age, and was brought up under the tutelage of senior Oda retainer, Hirate Masahide, apart from his brother Nobuyuki. As a youth, Nobunaga was known for his eccentric behaviour and lack of restraint. He was even called the "Owari ...
