Long-term economic growth, International Economics

Assignment Help:

Q. It is argued that import substitution is a misguided trade policy if the intent is to show long-term economic growth. Illustrate the reasons underlying this argument.

Answer: Import substitution support that economic activity in which the country is relatively incompetent. This lowers the actual income at any given time and decreases the resources which are able to be used for investment purposes hence lower growth rates. A further answer is that import substitution by creating a protected domestic market is unsuccessful to provide incentives to produce high or world class quality - which signifies this country can't market in foreign countries. With such a perceived limited market endogenous economic growth will not be forthcoming. Finally it perhaps that exposure to world competition has its own dynamic effect promoting economic growth.
