     Free Trade: David Ricardo (support free trade) o Theory of comparative advantage: For two nations without input factor mobility, specialisation and trade could result in increased total output and lower costs than if each nation tried to produce in isolation.  Both nations can benefit from trade if each specialises in good that they have the lowest opportunity cost, even if one economy is more efficient in making everything.  However, Comparative advantage in not static, and changes over time in reality.  Also, comparative advantage assumes that factors of production can’t move between countries  therefore comparative advantage is set to be outdated  production and employment usually moves to the lowest cost economies  Reality: Countries encourage exports, but limit imports o Due to mecantalism  i.e. total world wealth is limited and trade is a 0‐sum game if one country benefits, the other loses in order to win, you encourage exports  HOW? Through colanising  therefore legislated that the country could only trade with colonised country.  Who gains from free trade?  Some say that comparative advantage is just a way for developed economies to gain  Because before, developed economies were very protected (in order to establish their industries), and now they want everyone to do free trade (to benefit themselves). Since developed economies developed their industries a long time ago, they usually have a comparative advantage in high technology products (which lead to greater growth compared to agricultural products), whilst the developing countries specialise in the lower growth agricultural products.  Creation of international institutions: GATT, WTO  Creation of trade blocs…

    Nonperforming loans (“NPLs”) refer to those financial assets from which banks no longer receive interest and/or installment payments as scheduled. They are known as non-performing because the loan ceases to “perform” or generate income for the bank. NPLs are viewed as a typical byproduct of financial crisis: they are not a main product of the lending function but rather an accidental occurrence of the lending process, one that has enormous potential to deepen the severity and duration of financial crisis and to complicate macro economic management. This is because NPLs can bring down investors’ confidence in the banking system, piling up unproductive economic resources even though depreciations are taken care of, and impeding the resource allocation process.…
