MOTIVES FOR WORLD TRADE AND FOREIGN INVESTMENT

Suk H. Kim

Chapter 2 in Global Corporate Finance:A Focused Approach, 2023, pp 25-50 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: This book deals with both foreign trade and foreign investment. Because these two types of international transactions are extremely interdependent, Chapter 2 examines motives for foreign trade and foreign investment. Knowledge and understanding of these motives are essential if we are to appreciate the economic dynamics and policy issues of trade and investment flows among nations. Thus, in this important overview, we will discuss key trade and investment theories before we consider them separately in the coming chapters. This chapter also describes global and regional market agreements designed to eliminate trade barriers.
