International Economics
Lesson 1
Introduction
![Page 80: International Economics WEEK 1 12 th February 2013 INTRODUCTION Course 17832 Advanced Diploma Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e925503460f94b97ad0/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Introductions
Make a short, 1 minute, verbal presentation (you can stay in your seat for this) and answer the following questions:– What is what is your name?– Why did you come to Australia? (all of the reasons)– How do you think Australia will be different from your home in
Denmark?– What do you hope to get out of your time here? – Are you fearful of anything in your trip? (you don’t need to answer
this if you don’t want to)– What will you miss most about home during your stay? – What do you plan to do after leaving your current school? (e.g.
University, work, travel, world domination etc.)
You have 5 minutes to prepare
![Page 81: International Economics WEEK 1 12 th February 2013 INTRODUCTION Course 17832 Advanced Diploma Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e925503460f94b97ad0/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
The course, of course!
• You are required to undertake some reading and/or homework every week.
• 3 types of assessment:– A short quiz every week (except week 1 and week 5)– A mid-term test (week 5)– A research report on international trade comparing Denmark,
Australia and one of Denmark’s major trading partners (due week 9)
• Results for the assessments will be available the following week.
• Make sure you bring your course outline, your textbook and notes from previous weeks with you to each class
![Page 82: International Economics WEEK 1 12 th February 2013 INTRODUCTION Course 17832 Advanced Diploma Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e925503460f94b97ad0/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
What is trade?
• Trade might be defined as the buying and selling, or exchange, of goods, services or commodities between 2 or more interested parties.
• Trade can be domestic (within a country), OR international (between countries).
• International trade is the focus for your course in Australia
![Page 83: International Economics WEEK 1 12 th February 2013 INTRODUCTION Course 17832 Advanced Diploma Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e925503460f94b97ad0/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Exports and Imports
• What are exports?• What are imports?• What is “balance of trade” otherwise
known as?
![Page 84: International Economics WEEK 1 12 th February 2013 INTRODUCTION Course 17832 Advanced Diploma Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e925503460f94b97ad0/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Some definitions for trade
• Imports – the goods and services one country brings in (i.e. buys) from another country or countries
• Exports – the goods and services one country sends out (i.e. sells) from another country or countries
• Imports and exports are usually measured in value – DKK, USD, AUD etc. Comparative figures worldwide are often measured in USD (in the EU it is, of course, the Euro)
• The difference in value between imports and exports is a countries “balance of trade” or “net exports” (NX). We will discuss this later in the course when we look at the concept of “balance of payments”)
![Page 85: International Economics WEEK 1 12 th February 2013 INTRODUCTION Course 17832 Advanced Diploma Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e925503460f94b97ad0/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
How does trade relate to other economic principles?• Trade is a fundamental part of
economics.• Economics is (as you know) about the
study of “how…resources are allocated to fulfil(l) the infinite needs of consumers” (Blink and Dorton, 2011, p.3)
• The way we get the resources and end product to consumers is by trading, both domestically and internationally.
![Page 86: International Economics WEEK 1 12 th February 2013 INTRODUCTION Course 17832 Advanced Diploma Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e925503460f94b97ad0/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Specifically some of the key concepts you need to apply are:
– Scarcity– The economic problem– Opportunity cost– Production possibilities
(and the curve)– Supply and Demand (of
course!)– Consumption– Investment– Fiscal policy (Government)– Unemployment/
employment– Inflation/prices
– Markets – The business/economic
cycle– Productivity (especially
labour)– Labour and capital
intensivity– GDP – Economic growth– Globalisation– Economies of scale– Price discrimination– Market leakages and
injections
![Page 87: International Economics WEEK 1 12 th February 2013 INTRODUCTION Course 17832 Advanced Diploma Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e925503460f94b97ad0/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Why trade then?
• Lower prices• Greater choices (consumption and investment)• Better resource allocation or ability to access
resources not available in the country• Specialisation and economies of scale• Increased competition• More efficient allocation of resources• Source of foreign exchange
Blink and Dorton 2011:260-261
![Page 88: International Economics WEEK 1 12 th February 2013 INTRODUCTION Course 17832 Advanced Diploma Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e925503460f94b97ad0/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
It is time to participate in some free, voluntary trade!• You are a country. Come up with a name for yourself!• Decide what you focus will be as a country i.e. your
trade in stock. Minerals, IP, IT/IS, consumer goods, labour, manufacturing steel components or auto parts.
• You will each select 3 x “goods” to trade with selected countries ( I will select the countries you will trade with)
• There will be 2 rounds of trade. I will explain each round to you before each round starts.
• We will have a discussion at the end of each round.
![Page 89: International Economics WEEK 1 12 th February 2013 INTRODUCTION Course 17832 Advanced Diploma Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e925503460f94b97ad0/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
It is time to participate in some free, voluntary trade!• At the end of the 2 rounds you will decide:
– What you will consume domestically (i.e. keep for yourself)– What you continue to trade with other countries (i.e. swap with
someone else)– What you decide to grant as foreign aid to poorer countries
(what you give away because you feel sorry for your poor friends who were left with worthless “goods”)
![Page 90: International Economics WEEK 1 12 th February 2013 INTRODUCTION Course 17832 Advanced Diploma Management](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649e925503460f94b97ad0/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
And now for some research!• In order to truly understand trade, you need to start
looking at what countries actually do in their trading and who they trade with. Research and answer the following questions:– Which countries are the top 5 trading partners for Denmark for
imports AND exports of goods (do both)?– What was the approximate value (in DKK) of all exports and
imports undertaken by Denmark on a monthly basis for January to November 2011? What is the approximate proportion of this that the EU represents?
– What are the top 5 import and export sub groups? (don’t use SITC groups but the sub-groups e.g. “meat and meat production”)
• Please undertake your research in English from Statistics Denmark at www.statbank.dk

Homework for next week
• Finish your internet research if you haven't already done so
• Read chapter 21 of Blink and Dorton (2011)
• Do “Student workpoint “ 21.1(p. 261)• You won’t be handing these in but we will
review the homework every week.
