One of the major advantages of trading is that it allows producers to concentrate or specialize their work in the type of goods they produce best. When people decide to specialized in a specific profession an become doctors, farmers, teachers, or any other profession within an economy, they will be able to produce goods and offers different services that can be trade for any goods or services they may need. In this same way countries can become specialized in the production of specify products and/or services and trade those with other countries. However, trading and importing products and services from other countries also has its disadvantages. As a result of the different products imported governments impose certain restrictions and limitations to protect the domestic production and market of every country involve in any kind of trading transactions. Governments have imposed taxes on trading transactions adding them to the cost of importation, and have the purpose of restricting and/or limiting the imports of goods and services into a country. These government

The further growth of the budget deficit has been caused by a weak economy and increased government spending in areas such as: health care, education, defense spending, and lowered taxes. The government and/or Federal Reserve Bank can often hurt the economy trying to balance out high budget deficits. There is no doubt that our national debt is increasing. Budget deficits today will reduce the growth rate of the economy in the future, proving where we invest our money matters. Fiscal and monetary policies also play a role in managing budget deficits. High budget deficits will certainly affect the overall economic growth and the debt that the U.S. has to struggle with.

Nations trade with one another because it is mutually advantageous for both parties when one is more efficient at producing a certain good and at a lower cost, and the other is proficient at producing a different good or service more efficiently. This is based on Ricaro’s theory of comparative advantage.

In this I am going to assess the methods to increase trade between countries and the methods to restrict trade between countries. When asses the methods of encouraging and restricting trade I will talk about the purpose for the methods of promoting and restricting international trade, identify how and why they might be used and I will decide how useful each method is giving appropriate reasons for it. International trade is the exchange of goods and services between countries.

As the economic globalisation of the world develops rapidly, the trade contacts and economic cooperation among various countries become more frequent. However, at present, the trade relations between less developed countries and highly developed countries are not reciprocal.

There are several authors that put emphasis on the role of international trade as the main conduit of economic development. Influential papers in this school include Sach and Warner (1995), Frankel and Romer (1999), and Dollar and Kraay (2003). In these papers, trade strongly fosters economic convergence among countries and regions.

Many Americans and American companies are bothered and worried about cheap clothing and labor from China and the impact it may have on the textile companies in America. This is nothing new according to the book The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy. Rivoli explains that these concerns about Chinese products and labor are similar to the concerns voiced by the British concerning cheap Indian cotton. As seen by the past concerns, they are not true concerns, but rather false ideas spread by fear and the need for many people in a country to control the political aspect.

Nowadays, more and more countries decide for trade openness not only with countries which they share common borders but also with trading partners all around the world.

According to economic theory, trade is a win-win proposition and economic incentives should encourage trade and eliminate restriction to it. Probably that is the reason we observe a trade intensive global economy. Trade liberalization are not as simple as it appears. Questions such as which trading partner to choose, how much and how fast the liberalization should take place, and whether the additional trade is beneficial are still debatable for many developed and developing countries (Ciuriak, 2008 ).

The international trade of goods across the world accounts for approximately 60% of the world Gross Domestic Product (The World Bank, 2014). A great proportion of goods transactions occur every second. The primary question is whether international trade benefits a country as an entirety, and, if so, why would a country implement protective trade policies to restrict particular exports? To address this question, this essay aims to explore the impact of trade on various economic stakeholders, including consumers, producers, labour and government and, furthermore, will compare models and theories with reality to ascertain the true winner/ loser in the international trade market.

The issue of trade has been a factor in the interrelations between nations since their conception. Throughout history there have been many different structures that encompass these trade relations. In essence, the state of trade between counties coincided with, and depended upon, their economies, social structure, willingness to trade, and their available resources (tradable products and services). Today's trade system is still formulated by these factors. However, there are many more concerns and actors which must be weighed. The current international trade system is, to say the least, much more complex. In its complexity, the trade system has also inherited a very

Processes of cooperation and integration between countries are very important in the modern world. At the present time, a profound influence and an interrelation between countries is noticeable. The result of these processes in the future should be a fully free transmission of goods, services and subjects of intellectual property, capitals and human resources. At the same time, there is still a big gap in the level of economic development of countries in the world. This imbalance creates a collision between two different policies of world trade. Some countries provide liberalisation of international trade, other countries advocate protectionism to support a domestic market by using barriers and restraints on trade. One manifestation of

Economic growth of countries has always been a topic of research interest. Whether the country is developed, developing or least developed, economic researchers tried to find the reason behind economic growth or the lack of it. With many other factors contributing towards economic growth, international trade was also found beneficial for both trading countries according to Edwards (1993). Today, when the world is becoming a global village, the importance and benefits of international trade cannot be ignored.
