Import penetration of goods and services ■ The highest penetration of imports of goods and for Ireland (–22 percentage points from 2000) and services is observed in smaller countries such as Canada (–8 percentage points). For these countries the Luxembourg (import penetration rate of 218% reason was not decreasing import values but the fact in 2007), Belgium (88%), the Slovak Republic (86%), that their gross domestic product (GDP) increased Hungary (80%) and Ireland (78%). Import penetration significantly more than the value of imports. The is lowest in larger countries such as the Japan (16.2%) opposite was true for the Slovak Republic, where and the United States (16.4%). imports increased more than GDP. ■ Among OECD accession countries, Estonia had the ■ The import penetration rates for trade of services highest import penetration rate (77% in 2007), show Luxembourg to have by far the highest degree of followed by Slovenia (70%).

The rate of import penetration The rate of import penetration (MPij) for a country i and a product j corresponds to the share of domestic demand (Dij) in country i for product j, which is met by imports Mij. MPij = 100 Mij/Dij. If P, X and M stand respectively for a country’s output, export and imports, its domestic demand, D will be equal to D = P – X + M and then the import penetration in country i for product j will be MPij = 100 Mij/(Pij – Xij+ Mij). Competitiveness on the domestic market, as measured by the rate of import penetration, is based on the notion that a national industry endeavours to win, or at least keep, its shares in its own market. A low import penetration rate does not necessarily reflect import barriers but may be due to a good matching of output to domestic demand by highly competitive domestic firms capable of confronting foreign competition. Conversely, a high import penetration rate may reflect weak competitiveness on the part of domestic firms, especially when the export ratio is low. The size of the countries involved is also very important. The level of import penetration is usually greater in small countries because they are more open to the world economy and because of the way they specialise. As they are unable to specialise in many sectors, they become more dependent on imports. In the longer term, however, if the import penetration rate rises faster than domestic demand and is not accompanied by equivalent gains in export markets, this could indicate some deterioration of competitiveness. 76 OECD ECONOMIC GLOBALISATION INDICATORS © OECD 2010 C.

    1 THE OECD-WTO BALANCED TRADE IN SERVICES DATABASE (BPM6 edition) Antonella Liberatore (OECD), Steen Wettstein (WTO)1 January 2021 Complete, consistent and balanced bilateral trade in services statistics are vital for the empirical analysis of international trade as well as for policy-making and trade negotiations. Unfortunately, such data are not readily available. This paper presents the work of OECD and WTO to build an updated version of the Balanced Trade in Services (BaTIS) dataset, a complete and consistent trade in services matrix to serve as input for the compilation of the TiVA Inter-Country Input-Output Tables and as a tool for the analysis of trade patterns in general. This second edition of BaTIS provides annual data for 2005-2019, covering 202 economies, broken down by the 12 main EBOPS 2010 service categories. This paper accompanies the dataset and describes its compilation methodology in detail, including the collection and cleaning of the reported data, the different methodologies used to estimate missing information, and the final balancing of the export and import flows. 1 This contribution reflects a description of a methodology and does not represent the position or opinions of OECD, WTO or their respective Members, nor the official position of any staff members. The definition of geographical territories in this report is merely statistical and does not imply an expression of opinion by the OECD or the WTO Secretariat concerning the status of any country or territory, the delimitation of its frontiers, its official name, nor the rights and obligations of any WTO member in respect of WTO agreements.

Ad Valorem Tariff (A Tariff defined as a percentage of the value of an imported good. Percentage of Price) Adjustment Assistance Government program to assist workers and/or firms whose industry has declined, either due to import competition (trade adjustment assistance) or from other causes. Such programs usually have two (conflicting) goals: to lessen hardship for those affected, and to help them change their behavior -- what, how, or where they produce. AGOA U.S. legislation enacted May 2000 providing tariff preferences to African countries that qualify, including trade facilitation and technical assistance to producers. As of January 2016, 40 countries were listed as eligible. Several countries have had their eligibility removed and some later reinstated over the years. Anti-Dumping Measures A complaint by a domestic producer that imports are being dumped, leading to an anti-dumping duty if both dumping and injury are found in the resulting investigation.

  • Importing, Exporting and Aggregate Productivity in Large Devaluations∗
    Importing, Exporting and Aggregate Productivity in Large Devaluations∗ Joaquin Blaum.† July 2017 Abstract A standard mechanism linking large real depreciations to declines in aggregate productivity is that firms’ access to foreign inputs is restricted. Recent quantitative trade models of importing predict that the economy’s aggregate import share should decrease following a real depreciation. I provide evidence that in fact the aggregate import share increases after a large depreciation. Using Mexican micro data, I show that the increase in the overall import intensity is explained by the expansion and entry of new exporters, which are intense importers. I develop a model of joint importing-exporting and discipline it to match salient features of the Mexican micro data. I study a counterfactual devaluation and show that the calibrated model can generate an increase in the aggregate import share and compositional effects in line with the data. A model with importing only cannot generate either, and predicts a decrease in aggregate productivity that is twice as large.

  • Topic 12: the Balance of Payments Introduction We Now Begin Working Toward Understanding How Economies Are Linked Together at the Macroeconomic Level
    Topic 12: the balance of payments Introduction We now begin working toward understanding how economies are linked together at the macroeconomic level. The first task is to understand the international accounting concepts that will be essential to understanding macroeconomic aggregate data. The kinds of questions to pose: ◦ How are national expenditure and income related to international trade and financial flows? ◦ What is the current account? Why is it different from the trade deficit or surplus? Which one should we care more about? Does a trade deficit really mean something negative for welfare? ◦ What are the primary factors determining the current-account balance? ◦ How are an economy’s choices regarding savings, investment, and government expenditure related to international deficits or surpluses? ◦ What is the “balance of payments”? ◦ And how does all of this relate to changes in an economy’s net international wealth? Motivation When was the last time the United States had a surplus on the balance of trade in goods? The following chart suggests that something (or somethings) happened in the late 1990s and early 2000s to make imports grow faster than exports (except in recessions). Candidates? Trade-based stories: ◦ Big increase in offshoring of production. ◦ China entered WTO. ◦ Increases in foreign unfair trade practices? Macro/savings-based stories: ◦ US consumption rose fast (and savings fell) relative to GDP. ◦ US began running larger government budget deficits. ◦ Massive net foreign purchases of US assets (net capital inflows). ◦ Maybe it’s cyclical (note how US deficit falls during recessions – why?). US trade balance in goods, 1960-2016 ($ bllions). Note: 2017 = -$796 b and 2018 projected = -$877 b Closed-economy macro basics Before thinking about how a country fits into the world, recall the basic concepts in a country that does not trade goods or assets (so again it is in “autarky” but we call it a closed economy).

  • Currency Wars, Trade Wars and Global Demand
    Currency Wars, Trade Wars and Global Demand Olivier Jeanne Johns Hopkins University∗ September 2018 Abstract I present a tractable model of a global economy with downward nominal wage rigidity in which countries attempt to boost their em- ployment and welfare by depreciating their currencies and making their goods more competitive|a "currency war"|or by imposing a tariff on imports|a "trade war." A currency war can be waged with a range of policy instruments|by lowering the nominal interest rate, by raising the inflation target or by capital controls. Trade wars de- press global demand and employment and may lead to large welfare losses (amounting to more than 10 percent of potential GDP under our benchmark calibration). The welfare effects of currency wars depend on the policy instruments but are nonnegative when all countries use the same instruments. The uncoordinated use of capital controls may lead to symmetry breaking, with a fraction of countries competitively devaluing their currency and lending their surpluses to deficit coun- tries at a low interest rate. Currency wars may lead to a large welfare transfer from the countries that do not use capital controls to those that do. ∗Olivier Jeanne: Department of Economics, Johns Hopkins University, 3400 N.Charles Street, Baltimore MD 21218; email: [email protected]. This paper is a distant successor to, and replaces, Jeanne (2009).

    Economics 181: International Trade Homework # 4 Solutions Ricardo Cavazos and Robert Santillano University of California, Berkeley Due: November 21, 2006 1. The nation of Bermuda is “small” and assumed to be unable to affect world prices. It imports strawberries at the price of 10 dollars per box. The Domestic Supply and Domestic Demand curves for boxes are: S = 60 + 20P D = 1160 − 15P (a) Assume Bermuda is Completely open to trade. What is the equilibrium price and quantity consumed? How much is produced domestically, and how much is imported? Sine they are open to trade, the equilibrium price will be determined by the world market. There- fore, using the Domestic Supply and Demand equations, and recognizing that Import Demand is given by MD = D − S = 1100 − 35P , we get: P w = 10 D = 1160 − 15 × 10 = 1010 S = 60 + 20 × 10 = 260 MD = 1100 − 35 × 10 = 750 (b) Now consider the effect of an import quota of 400 boxes. What happens to the price of straw- berries and quantity consumed? The effect of an import quota is to limit imports at exactly 400. Using the import demand equation expressed above, we can solve for new equilibrium prices to be: 400 = 1100 − 35P ⇒ P q = 20. With this higher price, we can simply go through the same calculations as before to get: Dq = 1160 − 15 × 20 = 860 Sq = 60 + 20 × 20 = 460 MDq = 1100 − 35 × 20 = 400 1 (c) Who wins and who loses? Discuss consumers, domestic producers, and importers (Be sure to compute the change in their welfare). To answer this, it is useful to look at a diagram.
