It is assumed that when the T.O.T. value increases the country’s wellbeing goes up, and when the T.O.T. value declines, the country’s wellbeing is reduced. Do you agree??? Explain!!! Among others you stated: “Trade between countries highly depends upon terms of trade. T.O.T. has important effects on the balance of payments or on its economic growth so the T.O.T. is used to measure the wellbeing of the country.” Further down though…you refute your previous statement by saying: “But T.O.T. should not be used to calculate wellbeing as its calculation does not show the volume of export of the country, only shows relative changes between countries….”etc.arrow_forward
