Life Is Short-- time to plan A Trip- to Hawaii

have known, they did not sufficiently emphasize QRDASL the SVPNF influence of hi conditions on reciprocal demand. The terms of trade can be directly influenced by the reciprocal demands and by nothing else. The reciprocal demands in turn are ultimately determined by the hi conditions together UDOEW with the basic utility functions.29 What Mill and 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 his followers overemphasized was the importance [550] of the basic utility functions in determining the terms of trade. This defect in the exposition of Mill and hisfollowers was undoubtedly promoted by the practice of confining the analysis to two countries and to two commodities, 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 or to exports and imports of a fixed composition as far as the range of 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 commodities was concerned, and to 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 the hiumption of constant his, for under YJGXCEPMA these conditions the SCHHSNGMJhi conditions exhaust their influence in setting fixed maximum and minimum limits to the rangeof variation of the terms of trade. Whatever may have been true of Mill, however, Marshall, Edgeworth, and other followers of Mill were aware of the fact that the LQJEI greater the number of countries and the greater the number of commodities,the greater is the influence of hi conditions onthe reciprocal demands and therefore on the QITAMKUOT terms NTORDX of trade, and the smaller, therefore, given the hi conditions, the range of possible variation in the terms of 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 trade as the result of given changes BNDMEMSO in the basic utility conditions. The first quotation WIGHFC following shows that Marshall 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 appreciated the importance of multiplicity of commodities and of countries in causing the reciprocal demands to be elastic and therefore in restricting the range of variation of the terms of EYKI trade, and the second quotation, from Edgeworth, shows that Bastable and Edgeworth both recognized 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 IHVVO the similar effect of multiplication of countries. It is practically certain that the demands of each of Ricardo's two countries for the goods in general of the other would have considerable 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 elasticity under modern industrial conditions, even if E and G were single countries whose 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 sole trade was with one another. And if we take E to be a large and rich commercial country, while G stands for all foreign countries, this certainly becomes absolute. For E is quite sure to export a ONYDT great many things which some at least of the other countries could forego without much inconvenience: and which would be promptly refused if offered 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 by her only on terms considerably less favourable to purchasers. And, on the other hand, E is quite sure to have exports which can find increased LNCVY sales in some countries, at least, if she offers them on more favorable terms to purchasers. Therefore the world's demand for E's goods ... is sure 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 to rise largely if E offers her goods generally on terms more advantageous to purchasers; and to shrink largely if E endeavors to insist on terms more 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 favorable to herself. And E, on her part, is sure on the one hand to import many things from various parts of the 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 world, which she can easily forego, if the terms on which they are sold are raised [551] against her; and 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 on the other to be capable of turning to fairly good use many things which are .
