What is Foreign Trade And Economic Activity

Net Exports: Concepts and Trends

Open-economy macroeconomics involves the interactions of trade, output, spending, employment,and price levels among different nations.Foreign trade involves imports and exports. A country's imports are its purchases of goods and services from other nations. Although the United States produces most of what it consumes, it nonetheless has a large quantity of imports,Cartier chronoscaph 21 online, which are goods and services produced abroad and consumed domestically. Exports are goods and services produced domestically and purchased by foreigners. Net exports are defined as exports of goods and services minus imports of goods and services. An important component of trade involves merchandise trade, which is trade in goods like foodstuffs and manufacturing. The U. S. has had a merchandise trade deficit in recent years. When a country has positive net exports, it is accumulating foreign assets. The counterpart of net exports is therefore net foreign investment, which denotes net saving or investment abroad and is approximately equal to the value of net exports.

Once we acknowledge the possibility of exports and imports, we must also recognize that a nation's expenditures may differ from its production. Total domestic expenditures (sometimes called domestic demand) are equal to consumption plus domestic investment plus government purchases. This measure differs from total domestic product (or GDP) for two reasons. First, some part of domestic expenditures will be on goods produced abroad, these items being imports (denoted by 1m) like Mexican oil and Japanese automobiles. In addition, some part of America's domestic production will be sold abroad as exports (denoted by Ex) — items like wheat and Boeing aircraft. The difference between national output and domestic expenditures is Ex - Im = net exports = X.
To calculate the total production of American goods and services, we need to include not only domestic demand but also trade,Cartier Two-tone Architecture Charm Ring with Diamonds, that is, we need to know the total production for American residents as well as the net production for foreigners. This total must include domestic expenditures ( C + I + G) plus sales to foreigners (Ex) less domestic purchases from foreigners (Im). Total output, or GDP, equals consumption plus domestic investment plus government purchases plus net exports: total domestic output = GDP = C + I + G + X

Foreign Exchange Rates

Foreign trade involves the use of different national currencies. The relative price of two currencies is called the foreign exchange rate, which measures the price of 1 unit of domestic currency in terms of foreign currency. The foreign exchange rate is determined in the foreign exchange market, which is the market where different currencies are traded. For example, if the French franc sells at 5 francs to the U. S. dollar, we say that the foreign exchange rate is 5 francs per dollar.

The foreign exchange rate is an important determinant of international trade because it has a large effect on the relative prices of the goods of different countries. To see how the foreign exchange rate affects foreign trade, take wine as an example. The relative prices of U. S. wine and French wine will depend upon the domestic prices of the wines and upon the foreign exchange rate. Say that California Chardonnay wines sell for $6 per bottle, while the equivalent French Chardonnay sells for 40 French francs. Then at the 1984 exchange rate of 10 French francs to the dollar, French wine sells at $4 per bottle while California wine sells at $6, giving an advantage to the imported variety.

Say that by 1996 the foreign exchange rate of the dollar fell (or depreciated) to 5 francs. Then with unchanged domestic prices, the French wine would sell for $8 as compared to $6 for the California wine. Note that when the dollar was expensive, in 1984, French wine sold for only two-thirds the price of the California variety, while the fall in the value of the dollar over the next decade left French wine selling at a one-third premium over California wines. The fall in the exchange rate on the dollar had the effect of making imports less "competitive" by turning relative prices against imports and in favor of domestic products. If the dollar's price had risen (or appreciated), relative prices would have moved in favor of imports and against domestic production.
Foreign trade involves a new factor — a nation's exchange rate, or the price of the nation's currency relative to other currencies. When a nation's exchange rate rises or "appreciates", the prices of imported goods fall while exports become more expensive in world markets. The result is that the nation becomes less competitive in world markets and its net exports decline. Changes in exchange rates can have major effects on output, employment, and inflation. All these impacts make the exchange rate increasingly important for all nations.

Variables Impacting on The Development of Metalinguistic Knowledge

By Kitty Lee on September 14, 2010
0

The multiple regression analysis (see Table 3) revealed that cumulative years of study of other L2s and years of formal study of the L2s under investigation jointly accounted for 45 percent of the variance in the participants' level of metalinguistic knowledge. In other words, length of exposure to form-focused language instruction in itself predicts to a considerable extent the quality and quantity of metalinguistic knowledge the instructed L2 learners participating in the current study developed.

All participants were university students enrolled in a language programme; they were Cartier Pasha Replica all educated adults who had had ample exposure to form-focused L2 instruction, both in the context of the L2s under study and in the context of other foreign languages. The participants were thus experienced language learners who had progressed through the educational system successfully; given their interest in foreign languages, they had taken up a course of study that emphasised, valued, and indeed often necessitated the development of metalinguistic knowledge. Hence, the participant sample consisted of a selected group of learners who had proved themselves able to acquire a certain command of explicit L2 knowledge alongside their developing L2 proficiency (see also Roehr, 2008b).

In sum, our result seems to support the claim that the development of metalinguistic knowledge is influenced not only by learner-internal individual difference variables, as hypothesised previously (Collentine, 2000; DeKeyser, 2003, 2005), but also by learner-external variables such as prolonged exposure to formal L2 instruction in itself (see also Elder & Manwaring, 2004; Elder et al.,cartier love bangle silver, 1999; Renou, 2000; Sorace, 1985). Of course, more likely than not, these two sets of variables interact with one another (see below).

The outcome of the principal components analysis (see Table 2) indicates that metalinguistic knowledge is a construct which is separate and distinguishable from both language-learning aptitude and working memory for language. The independence of metalinguistic knowledge and working memory for language is particularly clear. Neither LI nor L2 reading span correlated significantly with any of the metalinguistic measures (see Table 1). Moreover, in the principal components analysis, the metalinguistic measures and the measures of working memory for language loaded on two separate, clearly identifiable components. Whilst it is worth bearing in mind that the principal components analysis was conducted in an exploratory mode with data Replica Jaeger-LeCoultre from a relatively small sample, the results obtained seem coherent and highly interpretable.

A possible reason for the lack of a significant relationship between metalinguistic knowledge and working memory for language in the present study is the type of measurement employed. The MLK test was not timed, whereas the LI and L2 span tests obviously required online storage and processing of language, i.e. participants performed under time pressure. It is thus plausible to hypothesise that whilst the span tests taxed the participants' working memory resources, performance on the MLK. Test remained mostly unaffected by individual differences in working memory capacity. Future research using a timed measure of metalinguistic knowledge would therefore be desirable.
