- Exports and Imports
- exports are g&s sold to foreigners. Imports are bought from foreigners.
- net exports are X-M.
- In the UK, and other economies like this, exports are an important part of total demand in the economy.
- Government expenditure and net trade
- Factors affecting the demand for X and M:
- Price- higher price= less demand. E.g imports from China have increased as UK domestic producers cannot compete with their prices (M).
- Real income in the domestic economy- if the economy is doing well and real incomes are rising, they will spend more, partly on imported goods (M).
- the exchange rate- a rise in the value of the £ means it costs foreigners more to get UK exports (X), it also means UK consumers can afford to buy more imports (M).
- State of the world economy- if the UKs main trading partners are doing well, exports are likely to rise. Recession in the EU could lead to a fall in exports.
- Degree of protectionism- most ocuntries limit the ways some g&s come into their economies. E.g through quotas or tariffs. A greater degree of protectionism means its harder for the UK to export.
- Non-price factors- quality, patents,etc.
- Factors affecting the demand for X and M:
