| cp24 | how does int't trade drive prices up in exporting countries? pls help |
| Masterkang | Export - Less Supply of the good in the exporting country - higher prices |
| eb2568 | here is my take: remember that the exporter has a comparative advantage in that good, i.e. is cheaper than for the foreign country. as trade takes place, that price will rise while the import good (which is expenseive for the domestic country) will fall. thus, the rising and falling of those prices will, as C states, equalize prices. |
| jonan203 | countries import what they "dumb" at making to buy said item cheaper, driving prices down countries export what they are "sexy" at making to sell for higher profits, driving prices up imports - "dumb it down" exports - "sex it up" |
| schweitzdm | @jonan203 excellent explanation |
| Inaganti6 | if you understand how commodities are arbitraged by traders it should be easy as pie to understand.... i guess not all CFA candidates are business enthusiasts and read business news |
I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
