The document summarizes U.S. trade data related to technology goods and services for the years 2008-2013. It finds that:
1) U.S. tech exports totaled $501 billion and imports were $496 billion in 2011, resulting in a slight trade surplus.
2) The largest segment of tech exports comes from services provided through foreign affiliates, which totaled $247 billion in 2011.
3) Texas surpassed California to become the top exporting state for tech goods, with $48 billion in exports in 2013.
On April 3, 2014, Amy Liu gave a presentation at NASBITE’s Annual Forum in Memphis, TN. The presentation outlines how, despite national progress with exports, the U.S. remains an under exporter; and cities and metro areas are at the vanguard of helping the economy become more productive, globally oriented and prosperous.
Mexico has a large and growing economy, ranking 5th globally by 2050 according to some estimates. It has a population of over 112 million and a GDP of over $1 trillion currently, expected to reach $1.4 trillion by 2015. Mexico has pursued trade liberalization, having 11 free trade agreements covering over 60% of global GDP. This extensive trade integration and Mexico's young workforce have made it an attractive destination for foreign investment and manufacturing, particularly in industries like automotive, aerospace, and information technology. Mexico's stable macroeconomic environment, competitive costs, and proximity to the U.S. market position it well for continued economic development.
The document provides an export plan for the California Central Valley region. It summarizes that international trade accounts for 13% of US economic activity and export expansion has driven growth in some struggling cities. The plan was created through collaboration between various economic development organizations in the region. It aims to increase exports beyond the $6 billion per year in agricultural commodities by helping other industries like food processing and manufacturing to enter new global markets. The plan identifies strategies based on research with local businesses that found many are unaware of available export assistance and financing resources or see limited potential in foreign markets.

FDI is seen as important for technology transfer but may not always directly stimulate growth.
THE IMPACT OF TRADE LIBERALIZATION ON ECONOMIC GROWTH; THE CASE OF SUB-SAHARA...AkashSharma618775
The main aim of this research is to explore the effect of trade liberalization on economic growth in subSaharan Africa by analyzing certain macro-economic indicators using Ordinary Least Squares approach to
estimate regression equations. Many developing countries have substantially liberalized their trade regime over the
past three decades, either unilaterally or as part of multilateral initiatives. Nevertheless, trade barriers remain
high in many developing countries. One of the concerns that attributes to the reluctance of many of these countries
to liberalize their trade regime is the possible worsening of the trade balance.
This research paper is meant to give a recommendation on which macro-economic indicators sub-Saharan African
countries should pay particular attention to, implementing the necessary policies to ensure its effectiveness thereby
ensuring a step-up in those aspects of the economy in order to promote development. It considers 46 different
countries with different economic policies in sub-Saharan Africa for a 14-year period. Most papers considering
sub-Saharan African region consider a selected few countries based on certain economic reasons of their choice,
and those who consider most countries in the region have different macroeconomic indicators they employ for their
modeling. This paper considers if not all, almost all sub-Saharan African countries regardless of their economic
status.

The presentation group includes Alex Merket, Sena Sevencan, Kan Mihail, and Lissette Plaza. Their presentation discusses how globalization is driving changes in international business. Globalization refers to the increasing integration and interdependence of national economies through cross-border movement of goods, services, technology, and capital. It has led to the globalization of production through outsourcing and the globalization of markets as national markets merge into a single global marketplace. Emerging global institutions like the WTO and IMF also influence international business. Legal systems are globalizing to allow companies to focus on core competencies. Technological advances and declining trade barriers are key drivers of globalization that impact how firms operate globally.

This document summarizes a research article that estimates the impact of increased import competition from China on US employment between 1999-2011. The authors find:
1) Direct exposure to Chinese imports reduced US manufacturing employment by 560,000 jobs.
2) Accounting for supply chain linkages, the total estimated job losses in manufacturing were 985,000, and total losses across the economy were 1.98 million jobs.
3) Examining local labor markets, the authors found no evidence that job losses were offset by reallocation of workers to other industries. They estimate total employment losses across the economy due to Chinese import growth during this period were 2.4 million jobs.
Economic Research Initative Issue #6 Findings and ConclusionsLuis Nieves-Ruiz
The document summarizes the findings of a study on major industry clusters and economic drivers in Orange County, Florida.

The modeling/simulation/training cluster contains over 20,000 jobs in technical fields and appears to be the only true technology cluster.
Eastern Europe in the Global Economy - AIMRI Conference Prague 2012SIS International
Eastern Europe presents opportunities for managers in the global economy. While Western Europe faces slow growth and economic uncertainty, Eastern Europe is expected to see GDP growth rates around 3-5% through 2014. Countries like Poland and the Czech Republic have robust economies focused on manufacturing, and Russia remains an energy powerhouse. Despite challenges, Eastern Europe's skilled labor force and lower costs provide an attractive alternative for foreign investment compared to other parts of Europe. Managers should consider opportunities this overlooked region presents.

This report analyzes the global market for industrial automation equipment exported from the United States. It finds that while U.S. exports decreased slightly from 2014 to 2015, growth is expected over the next two years due to global demand for automation. Mexico, Canada, and Germany are currently the top markets, but developing countries like Brazil, China, and Singapore also offer opportunities. The report ranks 35 countries based on the volume and growth of U.S. exports and the countries' industrial competitiveness and development to provide guidance to U.S. companies on the best export prospects.
Manufactured goods constitute 90 percent of Illinois exports and roughly half of the state’s manufacturing output. Last year Chicago area companies accounted for over two thirds of the $68.3 billion worth of exports that originated in Illinois. Metro exports have exhibited steady improvement over the past five years growing by an average of $3.8 billion annually as manufacturing user demand followed suit.
Roughly 60 percent of Chicago’s exports were sent to countries with existing free trade agreements in place. According to the Department of Commerce members of the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership imported $28.7 billion worth of products from Chicagoland last year. Should TPP move forward escalating trade volumes are likely to impact the local industrial market.

The document discusses foreign direct investment (FDI) from several perspectives. It defines FDI and explains who is concerned about it, including governments, competitors, suppliers/customers, and managers/workers. It outlines reasons for FDI from both a supply side perspective, like lower costs and access to resources/skills, and demand side, like accessing new markets. It also discusses patterns of FDI by country and trends over time. Major investing countries in the US and where the US invests are outlined. Statistics on FDI in the Philippines from 2007-2010 are provided, including top investing countries and companies. The international product cycle and Dunning's eclectic view, which categorizes advantages for FDI, are briefly explained

The document summarizes China's international trade and economic history and current situation. It discusses China's transition to an open market economy through reforms beginning in the late 1970s. China has experienced rapid economic growth and become a major player in international trade, with the US as both its largest export market and source of imports. While trade barriers remain, China's competitive advantages in labor and manufacturing have made it an important part of global supply chains.
The document profiles the top 10 US states exporting to China in 2012. It provides details on the top exports from each state to China by industry, as well as 10-year growth rates of exports to China and the rest of the world. It also lists each state's largest export market overall. California had the highest exports to China at $13.6 billion, exporting computers and electronics, waste and scrap, and machinery. Mexico and Canada were its top overall export markets.

COI1-1
This is an optional chapter for assignment by
instructors who desire to cover international trade
early in the course but do not want to assign the more
graphical Chapter 37 (Chapter 20 in Macroeconomics
and Chapter 23 in Microeconomics) for that purpose.
If this updated Chapter 5 of Economics is assigned,
Chapter 37 should not also be assigned in the same
course. Much of the content in Chapter 5 of the 18e is
now in Chapter 37 of the 19e. In some places, the
transfer of content is word-for-word.
AFTER READING THIS CHAPTER, YOU SHOULD BE
ABLE TO:
1 State several key facts about U.S. international
trade.
2 Define comparative advantage and explain how it
relates to specialization and international trade.
3 Explain how exchange rates are determined in
currency (foreign-exchange) markets.
4 Explain how and why government sometimes
interferes with free international trade.
5 Describe the purpose and function of the World
Trade Organization and discuss trade topics such
as trade adjustment assistance, offshoring of jobs,
and fair-trade products.
The United States in the
Global Economy
Backpackers in the wilderness like to think they are “leaving the world behind,” but, like Atlas, they
carry the world on their shoulders. Much of their equipment is imported—knives from Switzerland, rain
gear from South Korea, cameras from Japan, aluminum pots from England, sleeping bags from China,
and compasses from Finland. Moreover, they may have driven to the trailheads in Japanese-made Toyotas
or German-made BMWs, sipping coffee from Brazil or snacking on bananas from Honduras.
International trade and the global economy affect all of us daily, whether we are hiking in the wil-
derness, driving our cars, listening to music, or working at our jobs. We cannot “leave the world be-
hind.” We are enmeshed in a global web of economic relationships, such as the trading of goods and
services, multinational corporations, cooperative ventures among the world’s firms, and ties among

COI1-2
The United States and
World Trade
Our main goal in this chapter is to examine trade flows
and the financial flows that pay for them. What is the ex-
tent and pattern of international trade, and how much has
that trade grown? Who are the major participants?
Volume and Pattern
Table COI 1.1 suggests the importance of world trade for
selected countries. Many countries, with restricted re-
sources and limited domestic markets, cannot efficiently
produce the variety of goods their citizens want. So they
must import goods from other nations. That, in turn.
This document provides a summary and analysis of global technology markets and spending in 2013 and forecasts for 2014. It finds that overall global tech spending hit a new peak in 2013 but is forecast to decline slightly in 2014 due to slowing smartphone and tablet growth as markets saturate and prices decrease. Developing markets spending growth is also expected to slow somewhat as lower-end devices become necessary to penetrate new consumer tiers. Emerging Asia now leads global tech spending and North America's share may have peaked as mobile devices continue to drive the market.
The document discusses international trade in Pakistan. It provides information on Pakistan's imports and exports, including key trading partners and commodities. While Pakistan has trade partnerships, it faces a large trade deficit due to lower demand for its exports and higher imports compared to exports. Political instability also contributes to the deficit. The deficit is expected to increase further as Pakistan's oil imports rise. Pakistan's economy relies on agriculture but is supported by industry as well. However, exports mainly consist of raw materials rather than manufactured goods.
The document provides information about doing business in Mexico. It discusses how NAFTA has increased trade between Mexico, the US, and Canada over the past 15 years. Mexico City produces 24% of the country's GDP and houses over 80% of commercial and service sector companies. Strategic industries in Mexico City include finance, communications, tourism, and high technology. Cultural differences include spending more time on general discussions before addressing business and being more patient when initially contacting Mexican businesses.
Model Limitations: Models used to evaluate market efficiency may have limitations or assumptions that don't accurately reflect real-world conditions, affecting portfolio construction decisions.
These challenges influence investment decisions by prompting investors to:
Seek out undervalued assets or market inefficiencies to exploit for potential profits.
Evaluate the reliability and relevance of available information to make informed investment decisions.
Consider transaction costs and liquidity constraints when constructing portfolios to optimize returns.
Adjust portfolio strategies based on changing market conditions and new information.
Diversify holdings to mitigate risks associated with market inefficiencies and uncertainties.

Tech Trade Generates Nearly $1 Trillion in Economic Activity
Tech Trade Surplus with $501B in Exports and $496B in Imports
Overview
Tech goods exports from the U.S. totaled $205 billion
in 2013 and tech goods imports totaled $351 billion.
Cross-border tech services exports totaled $58 billion
in 2012 and tech sales through affiliates exports
totaled $247 billion in 2011, the most recent years
available, respectively.
Tech services imports for cross-border trade totaled
$62 billion in 2012 and imports for sales through
foreign affiliates was $102 billion.
When combined U.S. had a slight tech trade surplus
with goods and services exports at $501 billion
compared with $496 billion in imports in 2011, the
most recent year available for all trade data.
The U.S. NAFTA partners of Mexico and Canada
continued to be the leading destination of tech goods
exports at $39 billion and $28 billion, respectively.
Analysis
The nation’s tech industry continues to generates a
significant amount of exports and imports to and from
the United States.
Two-way trade of tech merchandise was well over half a
trillion dollars in 2013, with $205 billion in exports and
$351 billion in imports.
Tech services trade is separated into two components,
cross-border trade, which represents services provided
from one country to another, and sales through overseas
affiliates, where the service is provided by an overseas
affiliate of a multination company.
Tech services exports totaled $303 billion in 2011, the
most recent year data are available for both services
segments, while imports totaled $161 billion, providing a
services trade surplus of $142 billion.
TechAmerica Foundation’s Competitiveness Series regularlyreports on timely and relevant issues related
to the tech industry and U.S. competitiveness. The reports combine rigorous data with careful analysis to
educate industry executives, policymakers, and opinion leaders on the issues.
