    This document contains 3 discussion questions for an international business module about factors that affect trade between countries. The questions discuss: [1] whether the poorest countries truly have nothing to export due to a lack of abundant resources; [2] whether limiting immigration is a short-sighted policy given its positive impact on productivity in some countries; and [3] why wage rates may vary greatly between developed and developing countries even after the adoption of free trade, despite theories that free trade would equalize wages internationally. References for further reading on international economics and business are also provided.

    MS TEAM, Live Tutorial Discussion


    Questions
    Module 2 Week 5
    MS-Team Discussion Questions:

    1) “The world’s poorest countries cannot find anything to export. There is no resource
    that is abundant—certainly not capital or land, and in small poor nations not even labor is
    abundant.” Discuss.

    2) Most Omani immigrants are represented by Bangladeshi or Indian workers that are
    more likely to work in 3D jobs (Difficult, Dangerous, Dirty) than Omani born workers with
    positive effect on productivity. Limiting immigration is a shortsighted or a rational policy in
    view of the interests of union members? How does the answer depend on the model of
    trade?

    3) Will free trade and perfect competition lead to an equalization of wage rate
    internationally? Explain. Why would the wage rate greatly vary between developed and
    developing countries, in the same sector in a real world situation, even after the adoption
    of free trade.
