“…While modified over time, the basic idea still holds and is generally observable in fisheries trade: countries endowed with rich fisheries resources exploit their resources and trade them on international markets [1]. After WWII, attention shifted from comparative advantage to economies of scale and models of monopolistic competition see [23,24] for an overview of trade development theory. Monopolistic competition is a type of imperfect competition where producers sell products that are differentiated from each other and therefore cannot be considered perfect substitutes [25].…”

“…The theory of differentiated products also explains why the richest countries in the world trade more with each other than with developing countries who would seem to have the comparative advantage of lower labor costs. [23,24]. Second, much of the neoclassical approach to trade was based on the assumption that all individuals and countries respond to trade incentives in similar ways.…”

Towards a typology of interactions between small-scale fisheries and global seafood trade

et al. 2016

a b s t r a c tFish and fish-related products are among the most highly traded commodities globally and the proportion of globally harvested fish that is internationally traded has steadily risen over time. Views on the benefits of international seafood trade diverge, partly as a result from adopting either an aggregate national focus or a focus on local market actors. However, both views generally assume that the trade in question is characterized by export of fisheries resources to international markets. This is potentially misleading as empirical evidence suggests that import of seafood can also have impacts on local SSF dynamics. A systematic analysis of the different ways in which local production systems connect to international seafood markets can therefore help shed more light on why small-scale fisheries exhibit such differences in outcomes as they engage in an increasingly global seafood trade. This paper conducts a synthesis across 24 cases from around the world and develops a typology of small-scale fisheries and how they connect to and interact with international seafood trade. The analysis is based on key features drawn from trade theory regarding how trade interacts with local production. The implications of the findings for social and ecological sustainability of small-scale fisheries are discussed with the aim of identifying further research topics which deserve attention to better inform trade policy for more sustainable fisheries and more just wealth distribution from their trade.

“…Recent research on how differences in firms have an impact on trade policies reveals a related concern. Ciuriak et al (2011) point at another difference between deep integration at the regional and at the multilateral level (Ciuriak et al, 2011). While heterogeneous firms trade models suggest that more importance should be granted to extensive than to intensive margin responses to trade opening, there is evidence suggesting that PTAs have positive effects at the intensive margin and negative effects at the extensive margin, whereas the opposite is true of opening in the multilateral context.…”

The main aim of the article is indication of the increasing importance of bilateral agreements in the foreign trade policy. The subject of the discussion and theoretical contribution in the undertaken research program is presents new tendencies in international business -the rise of importance of bilateral agreements in foreign trade policy. It is important to underline that a few multinational firms are responsible for a major share of world trade and for the rise of global supply chains. On the one hand, these firms should support regulatory harmonization across different Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs) in order to lower trade costs. On the other hand, they might also resist harmonization -and encourage certain non-tariff measures -in order to prevent new competitors from entering markets. This may partly explain the persistence of regulatory divergence, and suggests that the political economy of regulatory convergence, especially in the conditions of the rise global supply chains, may be more complex than is sometimes suggested.

Abstract:The main aim of the paper is presentation of the impact of TTIP on the USA and European Union strategic cooperation. It has been emphasized that the talks will make reducing regulatory barriers. New agreements to remove trade barriers aim at reducing dead-weight costs and at increasing net social gains from international trade. The paper examined in particular, investor-state dispute resolution mechanisms in reducing the power of national governments to regulate and elimination of market inequality. The article offers examples of successful regulatory cooperation efforts in the hope that it will shed light on possible approaches to addressing regulatory divergences. Ideally, the best way to address problems arising from regulatory divergence would be on a multilateral basis. The particulary objective of the research task are the regulatory trade barriers in USA -EU foreign trade policy, the nature and the promoters of the TTIP, interrelationship between regulatory standards and international cooperation in the TTIP. The general theoretical approach will be of broad interest to economists interested in international questions especially transatlantic cooperation as well as to political scientists. It was used the institutional method, comparative method, the documentation method and statistical methods. Additionally, it used also, the methods of deductive and inductive forecasting.
