What is International Economics?
International economics refers to a study of international
forces that influence the domestic conditions of an economy and
shape the economic relationship between countries. In other
words, it studies the economic interdependence between countries
and its effects on economy.
The scope of international economics is wide as it includes
various concepts, such as globalization, gains from trade, pattern of
trade, balance of payments, and FDI. Apart from this, international
economics describes production, trade, and investment between
countries.
Basic Concepts in International Economics
• International economics has emerged as one of the most
essential concepts for countries. Over the years, the field
of international economics has developed drastically with
various theoretical, empirical, and descriptive
contributions.
• Generally, the economic activities between nations differ
from activities within nations. For example, the factors of
production are less mobile between countries due to
various restrictions imposed by governments.
(Continuation..)
• The impact of various government restrictions on
production, trade, consumption, and distribution of
income are covered in the study of internal
economics. Thus, it is important to study the
international economics as a special field of
economics.
• International economics is divided into two parts,
namely, theoretical and descriptive.
Theoretical international economics is further grouped
into two categories, which are as follows:
(i) Pure Theory of International Economics:
Involves microeconomic part of international
economics. The pure theory of international economics
deals with trade patterns, impact of trade on
production, rate of consumption, and income
distribution. Apart from this, it also involves the study
of effects of trade on prices of goods and services and
rate of economic growth.
(Continuation..)
(ii) Monetary Theory of International Economics:
Involves macroeconomic part of international
economics. The monetary theory of international
economics is concerned with issues related to balance
of payments and international monetary system. It
studies causes of disequilibrium between payments
and international monetary system and international
liquidity.
(Continuation..)
(b) Descriptive International Economics:
• Deals with institutional environment in which international
transactions take place between countries. Descriptive
international economics also studies issues related to
international flow of goods and services and financial and other
resources. In addition, it covers the study of various
international economic institutions, such as IMF, WTO, World
Bank, and UNCTAD.
• Among aforementioned concepts, such as globalization, gains
from trade, pattern of trade, balance of payments, and FDI,
globalization forms the major part to be learned in
international economics.
THE GAINS
FROM TRADE
What is Free Trade?
 Trade reflects the impact of specialization
and exchange.
 Specialization of scare resources.
 Exchange in part based on comparative
advantage in supplying different goods and
services.
The concept of an open economy
In an open economy, one nation trades openly with others.
 Trade in goods
 Trade in services
 Free flow of financial capital
 Free flow of labor resources
An economy integrated with and connected to the world
economy.
FREE FLOW OF FINANCIAL CAPITAL
KEY TAKEAWAYS
 Capital flows follow the movement of funds that are put to use for
productive economic purposes.
 For a firm capital flows entail money allocated to operations, R&D,
and investment; for an individual money spend to consumption,
investment, and savings.
 Capital flows also occur at the national level, with governments
collecting revenues in the form of taxes or issuing bonds, and
spending proceeds on various public projects or investments.
Potential Advantage from Trade
(1) Increased competition for producers
-Increased market contestability
-Pressure on suppliers to keep prices down
-Improved allocative & productive efficiency
-Prices closer to their factor cost
-Pressure on unit costs to fall/scale economies
(2) Better use of scarce resources
-Exploitation of comparative advantage
-Benefits from specialization
-Trade can be an important source of economic growth and development
Potential Advantage from Trade
(3) Dynamic Efficiency Gains
- Trade speeds up the pace of technological progress and innovation
- Transfer ideas/technology spill-overs
- Greater choice for consumers
(4) Economies of Scale
-Increasing returns to scale from selling to larger markets
-Gains in producer & consumer surplus
(5) A stimulant to growth
-Exports-an injection of AD into circular flow
- Boost to export will have multiplier and accelerator effects on national income
- Supply side improvement from investment and greater factor mobility bet. Countries
GAINS FROM EXTERNAL TRADE
1. Reduction in extreme poverty
2. Increased market competition
3. Access to new technologies
4. Inflows of knowledge
5. Economies of scale
6. Better use of scarce resources

  • 2. What is International Economics? • International economics deals with the economic activities of various countries and their consequences. • In other words, international economics is a field concerned with economic interactions of countries and effect of international issues on the world economic activity. • It studies economic and political issues related to international trade and finance
  • 3. What is International Economics? International economics refers to a study of international forces that influence the domestic conditions of an economy and shape the economic relationship between countries. In other words, it studies the economic interdependence between countries and its effects on economy. The scope of international economics is wide as it includes various concepts, such as globalization, gains from trade, pattern of trade, balance of payments, and FDI. Apart from this, international economics describes production, trade, and investment between countries.
  • 4. Basic Concepts in International Economics • International economics has emerged as one of the most essential concepts for countries. Over the years, the field of international economics has developed drastically with various theoretical, empirical, and descriptive contributions. • Generally, the economic activities between nations differ from activities within nations. For example, the factors of production are less mobile between countries due to various restrictions imposed by governments.
  • 5. (Continuation..) • The impact of various government restrictions on production, trade, consumption, and distribution of income are covered in the study of internal economics. Thus, it is important to study the international economics as a special field of economics. • International economics is divided into two parts, namely, theoretical and descriptive.
  • 6. Theoretical international economics is further grouped into two categories, which are as follows: (i) Pure Theory of International Economics: Involves microeconomic part of international economics. The pure theory of international economics deals with trade patterns, impact of trade on production, rate of consumption, and income distribution. Apart from this, it also involves the study of effects of trade on prices of goods and services and rate of economic growth.
  • 7. (Continuation..) (ii) Monetary Theory of International Economics: Involves macroeconomic part of international economics. The monetary theory of international economics is concerned with issues related to balance of payments and international monetary system. It studies causes of disequilibrium between payments and international monetary system and international liquidity.
  • 8. (Continuation..) (b) Descriptive International Economics: • Deals with institutional environment in which international transactions take place between countries. Descriptive international economics also studies issues related to international flow of goods and services and financial and other resources. In addition, it covers the study of various international economic institutions, such as IMF, WTO, World Bank, and UNCTAD. • Among aforementioned concepts, such as globalization, gains from trade, pattern of trade, balance of payments, and FDI, globalization forms the major part to be learned in international economics.
  • 10. What is Free Trade?  Trade reflects the impact of specialization and exchange.  Specialization of scare resources.  Exchange in part based on comparative advantage in supplying different goods and services.
  • 11. The concept of an open economy In an open economy, one nation trades openly with others.  Trade in goods  Trade in services  Free flow of financial capital  Free flow of labor resources An economy integrated with and connected to the world economy.
  • 12.
