The Impact of Brexit: Risks, Solutions and Opportunities for your BusinessMichelle Rudek
In this white paper, which Customs Connect presented at the recent Construction Equipment Association (CEA) Conference, we provide a comprehensive overview of the impact of Britain leaving the European Union and the key risks for UK Industry. We provide some tips on how to mitigate these risks and to prepare for the impact of Brexit as much as possible.
The document discusses the impact of the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) between Ukraine and the EU on businesses. The DCFTA will align Ukrainian regulations and standards with the EU in many areas including technical barriers to trade, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, customs procedures, and company/accounting laws. Some changes will require minimal investment while others like compliance with technical and food safety regulations will require businesses to understand new standards, test products, and get certifications. The study recommends businesses develop implementation strategies, make internal process changes, invest in upgrades, and get external certifications as needed to comply with the new regulations under the DCFTA.
The EU-Ukraine association agreement should promote economic growth in Ukraine. There are not only noticeable results in regard to export in the EU, but also challenges and risks, which are automatically involved in the agreement. Veronika Movchan is a Ukraine expert, an academic director and Head of the Center for Economic Studies at IER in Kiev. Her main research interests are for example trade policy and regional integration.

A circular economy aims to transform the current linear economy into a circular model to reduce consumption of finite material resources by recovering materials from waste streams for recycling or reuse, using products longer, and exploiting the potential of the sharing and services economy. Circular economy policies and initiatives largely take place domestically at the national or regional level. However, they have important interlinkages with international trade.
International trade plays an important role in circular supply chains in materials and products, end-of-life value chains in waste and scrap, secondary raw materials and second-hand goods. In this light, how can trade contribute to a more resource efficient and circular economy? How would the circular economy transition have an impact on global trade patterns? And in what ways can we secure coherence in these two policy areas?
On 25 March 2021, Shunta Yamaguchi, Rob Dellink and Elisa Lanzi of the OECD Environment Directorate discussed the role of international trade in the transition to a resource efficient and circular economy during an OECD Green Talks LIVE webinar. The presentation highlights findings from a series of recent OECD reports, including: "The consequences of a more resource efficient and circular economy for international trade patterns" and "International trade and circular economy: Policy alignment".

Mongolia is drafting three new laws related to product safety and consumer protection in order to increase exports to the European Union market. Adopting similar non-food product safety laws as the EU would give other countries confidence that Mongolian products are reliable and regulated under an equivalent legal framework, removing technical barriers to trade. With the draft laws in place and trained professionals, Mongolia's manufacturers could gain access to the large EU market and worldwide export opportunities.
Kashmiri carpets are made through a value chain that begins with procuring raw materials like cotton and silk through inherited skills in weaving, dyeing, and designing. Carpets are sold through door-to-door marketing, local vendors, and online portals. Bottlenecks in the industry include a reliance on inherited rather than professional skills and a lack of technology. New markets are being developed in metro cities, foreign countries, and retail showrooms. The government provides subsidies and loan programs to support the handloom industry.
The document discusses different types of economic systems, including pure market economies, pure command economies, traditional economies, and mixed economies. It describes the key characteristics of each type of economy, such as how economic decisions are made regarding what to produce, how to produce it, and who receives the goods and services. The document also briefly covers different political philosophies like capitalism, socialism, and communism that influence economic systems.

Key achievements include average GDP growth of 9.5% from 1980-1990s, making China the world's second largest economy.

This document outlines the itinerary for an event called "Made in China" that aims to celebrate the craftsmanship heritage of China and the Nordic region. The 7-day event brings together Nordic and Chinese designers, architects, investors and companies to share their expertise through keynote speeches, tours of design studios and workshops in Shanghai, and visits to craft workshops in wood, bamboo, and porcelain. Participants will also work in groups on topics combining Nordic and Chinese perspectives before presenting their outcomes. The event seeks to highlight both regions' proud traditions of functional, high-quality design inspired by nature and to foster greater cultural exchange and business opportunities between the two.
The document discusses the economies of China and Japan. It notes that in 2010, China surpassed Japan to become the world's second largest economy due to its large internal market and rising wages and standard of living. China has had high export levels, foreign exchange reserves, and trade surpluses, but also inflation issues. Japan struggled with deflation after its economy overheated in the 1980s and slow growth in the 1990s, experiencing its lowest interest rates in 2008. Both countries have used interest rate policies to address their respective inflation and deflation challenges.
The Maoist era from 1949-1978 saw tight control of finances and the nationalization of the banking system. Agricultural reforms eliminated landlords and the Great Leap Forward occurred. From 1978-1990, China began economic reforms to introduce capitalist aspects and encourage personal income and consumption. Special economic zones permitted foreign investment starting in 1978. In the 1990s, China continued rapid growth over 10% annually though faced issues like inflation and bad loans. Reforming state enterprises and the banking system remained challenges into the 2000s. Since 2010, China has been the world's largest creditor nation and goods exporter but faces a slowing economy and loss of skilled professionals.
A mixed economy is an economic system that combines elements of capitalism and socialism. It arose due to failures in both pure capitalism and socialism. Capitalism led to issues like unemployment and wealth inequality, while socialism slowed economic growth and reduced personal freedom. A mixed economy allows for both private enterprise and state involvement in the economy to balance these issues.
Mixed economies have characteristics of both market and planned economies. The means of production are mainly privately owned and markets are dominant, but the government wields influence through fiscal and monetary policies to counter economic issues. Both private and public sectors exist side by side, with the private sector handling industries like agriculture and consumer goods while the government controls strategic sectors like banking, transport, and energy. A mixed economy aims to take advantage of private companies' capitalist nature and the government's socialist goals of balanced growth and less income inequality. However, resources may not be used optimally as the government prioritizes overall societal benefits, and private enterprises face difficulties from government bureaucracy.
The document provides an overview of China's economic growth and history. It discusses China's transition from a largely agricultural economy to an industrial and market-based one through various 5-year plans beginning in the 1950s. Key events included the Great Leap Forward in the late 1950s, which resulted in famine, and the Cultural Revolution from 1966-1976, which disrupted the economy. Economic reforms began in 1978 under Deng Xiaoping, opening China up to foreign investment and trade.
A market economy is characterized by private ownership of resources, economic decisions made by individuals competing for profits, and supply and demand determining prices. Command economies have central government planning and allocation of resources with little individual freedom and competition. Traditional economies rely on customs to guide family- and ethnic group-centered economic activities like farming and gathering. Mixed economies involve shared decision-making between government and individuals, with government regulation and private ownership of production.
The document outlines three main economic models - traditional, market, and command - and discusses their approaches to answering the three economic questions of what to produce, how to produce it, and for whom to produce it. It then examines the mixed economic systems of capitalism, democratic socialism, and authoritarian socialism in more depth, detailing their key characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages.
The document provides information about the geography, culture, and way of life in China. It discusses key locations like the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, the Tibetan Plateau, and major deserts. It also describes traditional Chinese housing, clothing, food, education, recreation, and transportation. Important cities, landmarks, and animals of China are also mentioned.
The document discusses the three economic questions that must be answered by an economic system in distributing scarce resources:
1) What goods and services should be produced? This addresses balancing production of different goods like military vs consumer goods or education vs police funding.
2) How should goods and services be produced? This considers questions of production methods like the use of technology, labor, or resources.
3) Who consumes goods and services? Determining demand and appropriate markets for consumption of different goods.
How do economic systems answer the basic economic questionsklgriffin
The document discusses four main types of economic systems: traditional, command, market, and mixed. It defines each system and answers three basic economic questions (what to produce, how to produce, and for whom to produce) for each system type. Most countries today utilize a mixed market system that incorporates elements of both market and command economies.
This document discusses different types of economic systems. It defines a traditional economy as one based on customs and traditions where resources are owned by a sovereign. A market economy is based on individual choices where private firms produce for profit. A centrally planned economy gives the government control over production and distribution. A mixed economy incorporates aspects of market and planned systems, with both government and private sectors.
The document compares key economic indicators of China and the United States, including:
- A healthy GDP growth rate is 7.5% for China and 3% for the US.
- Healthy unemployment rates are 4% for China and 5% for the US.
- Healthy inflation rates are ≤2% for China and ≤3% for the US.
The document also analyzes China's foreign trade relationships and investments.
An economic system is the mechanism by which a society produces, distributes, and consumes goods and services. The main types of economic systems are capitalism, socialism, and mixed economies. Capitalism is based on private ownership and market forces, while socialism involves public or collective ownership and economic planning. Most modern economies are mixed, combining elements of both capitalism and socialism.
The Chinese growth trajectory from a Post Keynesian-Structuralist-Development...pkconference
This document analyzes China's growth trajectory from 1978-2012 using a Post Keynesian-Structuralist-Developmental framework. It finds that China's 10% annual growth over 30 years was driven by strong domestic demand, particularly investment. China strengthened interindustry linkages to build a diversified domestic production structure less constrained by balance of payments. Exports grew to enable imports for development while economic reforms integrated China into global markets at its own pace. The analysis uses input-output data to show China's transformation to investment-driven and export-oriented industry while consolidating growth sectors domestically.
- Exports from India have increased significantly since economic reforms in the early 1990s that liberalized trade policies. Exports as a percentage of GDP rose from around 6.5% in the 1980s to over 25% currently.
- Major factors driving growth include removal of trade barriers, globalization, growth in manufactured exports like gems, jewelry, textiles, and electronics, and government support through export incentives and infrastructure.
- However, export growth was negatively impacted by events like the 1997 Asian financial crisis, 2001 World Trade Center attacks, and 2008 global financial crisis, which led to recessions in major trading partners and a drop in global demand.
This document discusses how trade patterns in East Asia have shifted from trade in goods to trade in tasks due to global production chains. It notes that Asian economies have specialized in different production tasks and components through foreign direct investment and export processing zones. This has led to a predominance of trade in intermediate goods and increased intra-firm trade within Asia. The document argues that measuring trade based on value added, rather than gross trade flows, provides a more accurate picture of how economies contribute to production networks and bilateral trade balances.
This document discusses how improved trade statistics can help countries build resilience to external economic shocks. It analyzes the impact of China's growing exports on global manufactures prices from 1989-2006 using disaggregated trade data. The results show China's exports had a significant negative impact on prices of exports from middle-income countries, especially in low-tech sectors. The impact diminished over time and varied by destination market and technology type. Better trade statistics that track value-added trade flows can provide a more accurate picture of the nature and size of external shocks to help policymakers mitigate impacts.
Chinese outbound M&A has boomed in recent years, with deals surpassing $59 billion in 2015. The document analyzes trends in Chinese M&A, finding that deals are increasingly focused on strategic sectors aligned with China's 5-year economic plans like Industry 4.0, healthcare, automotive, and renewable energy. European countries with strong manufacturing like Germany, UK, and Italy have seen increasing M&A from Chinese investors, with deals in these strategic sectors expected to continue growing.
Up or down the value chain? The comparative analysis of the GVC position of t...Jan Hagemejer
This document summarizes a presentation on analyzing the position of new EU member states in global value chains. It discusses how upstreamness measures were calculated considering both global and country-level trade flows. The upstreamness of exports and imports for new member states has generally increased and converged with EU15 countries over time. Major exporting sectors for new members like transport equipment and metals were initially more downstream but became more upstream. Future research could analyze how position in global value chains relates to domestic value added and technology transfer.

This document provides an overview of key considerations for doing business in new European Union countries. It discusses the expansion of the EU in 2004 and 2007, noting the countries that joined.

Presentation made at the 15th European Parliament Ceramics Forum on 3 December 2014.
Dr. Heimo Scheuch discussed resource efficiency and sustainable construction at the European Parliament Ceramics Forum. He argued that resource efficiency is not just about using less resources, but using them better. Specifically, the ceramics industry has made significant improvements in longevity of products, reuse and recycling possibilities, and resource-efficient product innovation. However, a one-size-fits-all approach to measuring resource efficiency is insufficient, and sector-specific solutions that consider lifecycle assessments and availability of raw materials are needed.
