Syllabus to take us up to Xmas
• Patterns of trade
• Identify patterns of trade between developed and developing countries.
• Students should be aware of changes in trade flows between countries and the reasons for them,
• for example the potential impact of China and India on world trade patterns and the possible reaction of developed economies.

Difference between exports & GDP
What type of relationship is
there?
Is this a volatile or stable market?

Trade Groupings
• This is where countries in various parts of the world come together to form trade groups with varying degrees of formality.
• Their aim is to encourage trade among a group of nations.

World Trade Organisation

Customs Union V Free Trade?
• Free trade
• Where a group of countries agree to trade without barriers between themselves, but maintain their own individual barriers with countries outside the area.
• Eg NAFTA
• Customs Unions
• This goes further than free trade, which eliminates not only barriers to trade between the member countries BUT also to have a common tariff barrier against the rest of the world.
• Eg The Single Market

Typical Evaluation Q’s
• To what extent do trade groupings generate increased trade and improve efficiency?
• Requires you to know about…. trade diversion versus trade creation within the context of trade groups!
![Page 18: 01 intro to-trade](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070315/554f4d26b4c905b9508b4a51/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Trade Diversion
• When countries within a trade group import from within the partner group countries rather than import from ‘cheaper’ non partner countries.
• This may encourage some of the countries’ industries to remain inefficient rather than compete on a global scale!
![Page 19: 01 intro to-trade](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070315/554f4d26b4c905b9508b4a51/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Trade Creation
• This is where the members of the trading group start to specialise in industries that they have a competitive advantage and benefit from economies of scale and improve efficiencies.
• More on this in a later lesson.

Your task – Internet research
• Using your handout (last 6 slides) of the different world trade groups
• You will be given one trade group to investigate & then share your findings with everyone else….
• What size is the trade group?• How many countries are in it?• When did it start?• What reasons were given for the start• Include any other ec data that you can find too.
