Buy American! Buy Spanish! British jobs for British workers! The ideology of economic nationalism seeks to implement trade policies that help to keep jobs and investment at home, while ignoring the advantages of open international trade and invest-ment. Economic nationalism was popular during the Great Depression of 1929–33, when it served to protect domestic firms from international competi-tion. However, this led to curtailing international business activity, making the global economic slow-down worse. Widely recognized as a myopic policy, economic nationalism nevertheless re-emerged dur-ing the global financial crisis that originated in the United States in 2008, prompting many analysts to wonder whether the public has learned anything from international business history.Soon after the U.S. stock market crash of 1929, Willis Hawley and Reed Smoot, two Republicans in the U.S.…

Consider a developed country, Country A. Assume that the trade volume (exports + imports) with respect to its economic development level can be described by the following function: T(D)=2D^2+5D+9 Where: T(D) represents the trade volume in billions of dollars. D is the level of development, measured by some index (e.g., Human Development Index) where 0≤D≤10. Calculate the derivative of T(D) with respect to D. Interpret result in terms of the rate of change of trade volume with respect to development. At what level of development D does the country experience the highest rate of change in trade volume? If the standard deviation in the development index scores of developed countries is 1.2, how would this affect interpretation of trade patterns among developed countries? Note: For the purposes of this question, assume that the relationship is purely mathematical and doesn't account for other real-world factors that might influence trade volume.
