Document Summary

1) an mba student tells a b. comm student (you) with so many bilateral and regional trade agreements the world effectively has doha. Bilateral trade agreements (btas) the exchange of goods between two countries. Bilateral trade agreements give preference to certain countries in investments between the home country and the foreign country by reducing or eliminating tariffs, import quotas, export restraints and other trade barriers. Bilateral trade agreements can also help minimize trade deficits. Regional trade agreements (rtas) agreements between groups of countries to trade with each other more freely than with the world in general. (two or more countries) Therefore we should tell him that we need doha. To continue: the purchasing power parity theory predicts that prices for goods should be much the same between countries after adjusting for the exchange rates. But the evidence suggests that is no so.
