SS7E5. C. Compare and contrast the
 economic systems in Israel, Saudi
 Arabia, Turkey, and Iran
Has almost no natural resources or

 farmland
Developed good relations with much of

 Western Europe and the United States
Economy based on advanced technology
 Rich oil reserves

 Profit from oil allows them to buy most goods they are

  unable to produce themselves

 King and his advisors make most decisions about how and

  where to spend the oil profits

 Invested much wealth in technology and services which

  allows them to produce goods not usually found in a desert

  climate
Great oil wealth

Command economy has not been efficient

 in recent times
Shift to a more mixed economy

Despite the oil wealth, the Iranian people

 do not share in the money
Least economic freedom of these four countries

In earlier times, the gov’t has controlled airlines,

 railroads, telephone, and television
Recently the gov’t has loosened its hold on these

 industries
   Have allowed some private ownership

   More laws have been passed to protect business owners
1. The economies of Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and
   Iran could best be described as….market, command,
   mixed, or traditional?
2. How have the Israelis made up for their lack of
   natural resources?
3. Which industry does the gov’t of Saudi Arabia
   heavily control?
4. How has the king of Saudi Arabia used the profits
   from oil to help other areas of his kingdom?
SS7E6.a. Explain how specialization
 encourages trade b/w countries
Not every country can produce the goods and services
 it needs
So they “specialize” in producing a good or service
 that they can produce most efficiently
They can then trade that product for goods and
 services they need
Way to build a profitable economy and earn money to
 buy what it needs
Saudi Arabia specializes in the production of oil and
 gas.
Israel specializes in agricultural technology even
 though they have a limited supply of farm land.
1. What is “economic specialization”?
2. Saudi Arabia specializes in the production
   of?
3. Israel specializes in?
B. Compare and contrast different
 types of trade barriers such as tariffs,
 quotas, and embargos
Anything that slows down or prevents one

 country from exchanging goods with another
Some protect local industries from lower priced

 goods made in other countries (keeps competition
 away)
Some created due to political problems between

 countries
Tax placed on goods when they are imported

 into one country from another
Purpose is to make the imported good more

 expensive than the similar item created locally
  “protective tariff”-protects local

   manufacturers from competition
Different way of limiting the amount of

 foreign goods than can come into a
 country
Sets a specific amount of particular goods

 that can be imported in a certain time
 frame
When one country announces that it will no longer
 trade with another country in order to isolate the
 country and cause problems with that country’s
 economy
Usually result of a political dispute

1973-OPEC decided to stop all sales of oil and gas to
 countries supporting Israel in the 1973 Arab-Israeli
 war
1. What is a tariff?

2. What is a quota?

c. Explain the primary function of the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting
Countries (OPEC)

Countries wanted to work together to regulate the
 supply and price of oil exported to other countries
First five countries: Kuwait, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran
 and Venezuela
Continue to decide how much oil they will produce
 and that determines the price on the world market
Basic principles of supply and demand
1. Why was OPEC created?

2. What happens to the price of oil when

  OPEC countries decide to limit the
  production?

3. Where are most of the OPEC countries

  located?
A. Explain the relationship b/w
 investment in human capital and gross
 domestic product

 workers to earn a living producing goods and
 services.
Companies that invest in human capital generally

 human capital?
Why would the Saudi oil industry need a large
 investment in human capital?
One of Iran’s biggest problems with their state-run oil
 industry is::
If a country does not invest in its human capital, how
 can it affect the country’s GDP?
B. Explain the relationship between
investment in capital and GDP
 Factories, machines, and technology that people use to
