Essay Instructions: Prepare a power point presentation on trade between UAE and rest of the world. Please use charts, tables, graphs and statistics etc.

Essay Instructions: Standard trade theory is based on perfect competition, with constant returns to scale at the level of the individual firm and constant or increasing cost of expanding production at the level of the industry. Comparative advantage predicts that countries will trade with other countries that are different (the source of the comparative cost differences) and that each country will export some products and import other, quite different products. While much international trade conforms to these patterns, a substantial amount does not. Most obviously, industrialized countries trade a lot with each other, and in much of their trade each is exporting and importing similar products.

Essay Instructions: The term paper assignment is to analyze an issue of current interest in international trade. Ideally this task will involve an application of the analytical tools learned in the course and/or other economics courses to an international economic policy issue. The student's task is to (1) define the issue narrowly enough to make the topic workable, (2) include the most relevant background information on the subject, (3) analyze the problem from an economic viewpoint and (4) recommend policies or strategies that would improve the current situation or solve the problem. Support your arguments with economic concepts and data whenever possible.


In addition, you are required to include, at the beginning of the paper, an executive summary (abstract) of approximately 1 to 1? pages (double spaced). This is a standard feature of most reports in business, banking and government and will help you to focus your thoughts in organizing and summarizing your work.

Clarity of presentation, neatness, spelling and grammar count, not only in the grade you receive now, but in any presentation you do for the rest of your professional career. In addition, the paper should include citations in the text (using references plus a bibliography, or footnotes) attributing critical information and ideas to their proper sources. Make sure to identify website sources with the URL address. Any standard system of citation is acceptable.

The topic will be as follows:

Current Trade Policy between the United States and China
