Alternative perspectives on international competitiveness
Article Abstract:
Alternative views on international competitiveness have been discussed in order to separate the myths and realities of globalization. Economists who argue that industrialized nations would continue to have surpluses in their trade balances are mainly concerned with the declining role of the US in international competition. However, there are those who believe, such as Krugman, that international competition bears little resemblance to the nation-corporation analogy, but is about mutually beneficial exchange. Krugman believed that comparative and not absolute advantages propel trade among nations.
