“Trade is central to ending global poverty” WTO world bank.
The role of trade in supporting growth and reducing poverty
“Open trade policies enable economic growth for all” -world bank.
• Trade is central to ending global poverty. Countries that are open to international trade tend to grow
faster, innovate, improve productivity, and provide higher income and more opportunities to their people.
• Open trade also benefits lower-income households by offering consumers more affordable goods and
services.
• Integrating with the world economy through trade and global value chains helps drive economic growth
and reduce poverty locally and globally.
0. BUT CAN WE DO IT IN A SUSTAINBLE WAY?
• Air pollution deaths cost global economy $225 billion.
• Different critiques on globalization
• Link with UN SDG’s (sustainable development goals)
• However: trade has resulted in increased CO2 emissions
à always take the triple bottom line into account (people, planet, and profit)
Video: emissions of international versus local trade
1. WHY INTERNATION TRADE?
“Wealth of nations, Adam smith
• Smith applied the doctrine of laissez-faire to international trade. All nations would benefit from
unregulated, free trade that would allow individual countries to specialize in goods they were best suited
to produce of natural and acquired advantages.
• Smith’s theory of trade has come to be known as the theory of absolute advantage.
David Ricardo: on the principles of political economy and taxation
• The principle of comparative advantage postulates that all nations can gain from trade of each specializes
in producing what they are relatively more efficient at producing and import the rest.
• Do what you do best, import the rest.
Last few centuries:
• Greater openness and liberalized trade
• However, protectionism has always immersed.
• Advanced nations are realizing that economic growth and stability depend on a strategic mix of trade
policies: both free trade and protectionism
2. WORLD TRADE – TRADE GROWTH
• World trade volumes today are 42 times the level of 1950 (4220% growth)
