Assignment International Business

The data shown below reflect the growth of world merchandise trade (exports) for the period 1870-2007. Critically analyse the facts and respond to the four (4) tasks enumerated below:

The rapid growth of world trade 9ver the last century reflects, at least in part, the fact that nations have become more interrelated as they attempted to gain the benefits of free trade. The table below compares the relative growth of world trade and world output from 1870 to 2007. It shows that the growth rate of world merchandise trade (exports) has exceeded the growth of world output (GDP) in four of the five periods. The post-Second World War period (1950-73) saw an unprecedented growth of world trade which far outstripped the growth of world production (Wall, S. & Ress, B., 2010).

Growth in world GDP and merchandise trade 1870-2007 (average annual % change)

	1870-1900	1900-13	1913-50	1950-73	1973-2007
GDP	2.9	2.5	2.0	5.1	3.0
Trade (exports)	3.8	4.3	0.6	8.2	5.1
