Содержание слайда: (9.1.) International economic integration ‘The goal of the 1992 program was to complete by January 1, 1993, what the European Community set out to do in 1957: create a common market with a free flow of goods, services, labor and capital. 1992: 12 member countries. European Union: stages of development   1968: Tariff-free trade for industrial goods and a common external tariff already had been achieved by the Community. However, a multitude of non-tariff barriers and market access restrictions remained, and external non-tariff trade policies were never unified. the '70s: Attempts at further economic integration, including early initiatives to broaden the scope of integration and create an Economic and Monetary Union, were largely unsuccessful. "1992" was a reaction and an attempt to put the European Community back on track both economically and as an organization.’ Flam, H. (1992) Product markets and 1992: full integration, large gains? The Journal of Economic Perspectives, 6(4), 7-30.

Содержание слайда: (9.1.) International economic integration Fiscal barriers (such as taxes and subsidies in agricultural trade – ‘Monetary Compensatory Amounts’) Quantitative barriers (like quotas on the production and trade of some agricultural goods and steel, and on the share of foreign firms in the market for road and air transportation services) Market access restrictions directed at firms from other Community countries. Many - in public procurement, e.g. water, energy, telecommunications equipment, some transportation services and construction; others applied to private banking and insurance, road and air transportation, many professions, and direct investment. Real costs incurred in trade between Community countries (border costs, technical regulations on product packaging and marketing). National technical regulations must be mutually recognized. Flam, H.

Содержание слайда: (9.1.) International economic integration Full economic integration - a state in which there are no government-erected barriers to the movement of goods, services, labor and capital, so that prices are equalized net of transport costs (Flam, 1992). Stages of international economic integration: Free trade area – all tariffs among countries are abolished Customs union – like ‘1’ plus exactly the same tariffs for the outward countries Common market – a common market for goods and for production factors (EU: since 1968) Economic union– economic policies are harmonized a single or unified market – when subsidizing is stopped; environmental norms common currency area (EU: since 1999; 2002 – EU countries join the single currency space) Total economic integration - unified policies under a supra-national authority Bela Balassa (1987) ‘economic integration’ in the New Palgrave Prof. Wladimir Andreff. Lectures at the Faculty of Economics, Ural State University. 2009. ‘1992 - > the Community is between a common market and an economic union’ ‘The European Monetary and Economic Union-EMU - > the Community is between an economic union and full integration. Full integration according to definition – ‘price equalization net of transport costs’ – can be attained without harmonization or unification of macroeconomic policies’ (Flam, 1992).   Flam, H.

International economic integration Trade creation (создание торговли) Trade divertion (отклонение торговли) ‘Trade is created between the members of a customs union when barriers to trade are eliminated, allowing for increased specialization according to comparative advantage and consequently greater gains from trade. Simultaneously, some trade is diverted from low price suppliers outside the customs union to high cost suppliers inside it, since the outside suppliers still face trade barriers while the inside suppliers do not.’   Flam, H.

Содержание слайда: (9.2.) International production factor migration: theories and facts The gains-from-international factor migration theorem Graphical illustration: with curves of marginal production factor revenue (for example, for capital); countries H and F. (structure of the model: next slide)

Содержание слайда: (9.2.) Structure of the model Structure of the world economy: 2 countries (h, f); One tradable final good; Resources are mobile between countries. Structure of the production sector: 1 industry producing one homogeneous good; 2 resources: labor L and capital K; supply of capital is defined exogenously. Technologies in the countries are the same. Structure of the household sector: Tastes are identical and homogeneous among the households and the countries Market structure: Perfect competition on the markets of production factors and of final goods. No incentives for trade. Return to capital is higher in country F => Country Н will benefit from export of capital.

Содержание слайда: (9.2.) Revision: the gains-from-trade theorem The gains-from-trade theorem: Suppose that the value of production is maximized at free trade prices. Then the value of free trade consumption at free trade prices exceeds the value of autarky consumption at free trade prices. The free trade consumption bundle must thus be preferred to the autarky bundle, because if it were not, consumers would pick the cheaper autarky bundle. Situations when the theorem does not hold: Under free international trade the value of production is not always maximized (under free international trade price ratio) Example: monopoly. Sufficient conditions of the value of production maximization : Tangency condition (Условие«касания»); Convexity condition (Условие «выпуклости»).

Содержание слайда: (9.2.) International production factor migration: theories and facts The theorem on gains from international production factor migration Suppose that the value of production is maximized at prices under international production factor migration (economic openness). Then the value of economic openness consumption at economic openness prices exceeds the value of autarky consumption at economic openness prices. The economic openness consumption bundle must thus be preferred to the autarky bundle, because if it were not, consumers would pick the cheaper autarky bundle Formal proof During the lecture Graphical illustration With unit value isoquants

International production factor migration: theories and facts H-O-S model Based on the assumptions of H-O-S model, are international production factor migration and trade substitutes or complements? I.e. Does increase in international trade volumes lead to increase in production factor migration? Does production factor migration lead to the increase in international trade volumes?

Содержание слайда: (9.2.) Structure of the Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson (H-O-S) model of international trade Structure of the world economy : 2 countries (h, f); All final goods are tradable; Production factors are mobile between the countries. (Before they were assumed to be immobile) Structure of the production sector : 2 industries that produce 2 final homogeneous goods (X, Y) – in each country; 2 homogeneous, non-specific resources (K, L), mobile between industries; Fixed quantity of resources in each country; countries differ in relative endowment of production factors: for example, Kf/Lf > Kh/Lh; Specific features of the production technology: CRS; Technologies differ among the industries, but not among the countries, i.e., for example, Ky/Ly>Kx/Lx; No factor intensity reversal (отсутствуют технологии с изменяющейся ресурсной интенсивностью). Structure of the household sector : Tastes are identical and homogeneous among the households and the countries. Market structure: Perfect competition on the markets of production factors and of final goods.

Содержание слайда: (9.2.) Exogenous parameters of the H-O-S model (1) Exogenous parameters of the model: Production technology - production functions: Хh = fxh(Kxh, Lxh) = AKxhLxh(1-); Yh = fyh(Kyh, Lyh) = BKxhLxh(1- ); Хf = fxf(Kxf, Lxf) = AKxfLxf(1-); Yf = fyf(Kyf, Lyf) = BKxfLxf(1- ); where АВ, . Resource endowment in each economy: Kh, Kf, Lh, Lf; Preferences of representative household in each of the economies – utility functions : Ui = Ui (Xi, Yi); i = h, f; Market structure on the final goods markets – perfect competition. Market structure on the resource market – perfect competition.

Содержание слайда: (9.2.) Endogenous parameters of the H-O-S model (2) Endogenous parameters of the model: Equilibrium production and consumption of final goods in closed economies – Xha, Yha, Xfa, Yfa; Equilibrium price ratios for final goods in closed economies – Pxha/Pyha, Pxfa/Pyfa; Equilibrium production of final goods in the open economy – Xph*, Yph*, Xpf*, Ypf*; Equilibrium consumption of final goods in the open economy – Xсh*, Yсh*, Xсf*, Yсf*; : If (Xc*-Xp*)>0 or (Yc*-Yp*)>0 – the good is imported; If (Xc*-Xp*)<0 or (Yc*-Yp*)<0 – the good is exported; Equilibrium world price ratio for final goods – Px*/Py*. Production factor prices are equalized too => no incentives for production factor migration under free trade

Содержание слайда: (9.2.) International production factor migration: theories and facts Assumptions good Y is more capital intensive than good X: Country F is more capital abundant than country H: Country F specializes in good Y and exports it Country H specializes in good X and exports it Country F imports good X Country H imports good Y

Содержание слайда: (9.2.) International production factor migration: theories and facts Assume that country Н introduced import tariff on good Y => => price ratio changes => unit value isoquant of good Y in country H shifts towards the origin of coordinates (as under a higher price on Y it is enough to produce less Y in order to receive unit value of revenue). Now the equilibrium relative wage (w/r) in country H is lower than in country F Assume that production factor migration is possible => labor moves to country F and/or capital moves to country H => Country F becomes relatively more labor abundant; country H becomes relatively more capital abundant => specialization of the countries decreases

Endogenous parameters of the modified Ricardian model (2 production factors) Structure of the world economy: 2 countries (h, f); All final goods are tradable; A production factor was assumed to be immobile between the countries before. Now it is assumed to be mobile between the countries. Structure of the production sector: 2 industries that produce 2 final homogeneous goods (X, Y); Usually: 1 homogeneous production factor (L); here: two production factors (L,K) mobile between the industries; Any kind of resource endowment in the countries; assume that it is the same in two countries Lh= Lf; Kh= Kf; Specific features of the production technology: CRS; Technologies differ among the industries and the countries. Structure of the household sector: Tastes (предпочтения) are identical and homogeneous among the households and the countries Market structure: Perfect competition on the markets of production factors and of final goods.

Содержание слайда: (9.2.) International production factor migration: theories and facts Conclusions: In the Ricardian model production factor migration enhances the incentives for international trade, i.e. international production factor migration and international trade are complements. In other words, when the aspect of H-O-S model (resource endowment) is added to the Ricardian model (technological differences between countries), trade incentives increase.
