要点(1)存在倾销事实
(2)存在损害国内产业的事实(3)倾销与损害之间有因果关系
4论述一国货币贬值对进出口的作用。
要点:这种手段也能起到限制进口的作用。因为,本币对外币贬值,出口商用外币表示的价格就会下降,从而提高了商品的竞争能力,有利于扩大出口。
1、根据重商主义的观点一国必须保持贸易顺差在两国模型中是否可能为什么? 思路:在两国模型中一国的贸易顺差等于另一国的贸易逆差不可能出现两国都顺差的情况 重商主义贸易顺差的目标必有一国无法实现。
2在分析中国加入世界贸易组织WTO的利弊时有人说为了能够打开出口市场我们不得不降 关税进口一些外国产品这是我们不得不付出的代价请分析评论这种说法? 思路:这种说法实际是重商主义认为出口有利进口受损实际上降低关税多进口本国不具有比较优势的产品把资源用在更加有效率的产品生产中去再出口能大大提高一国的福利,对一国来说反而是好事。下表列出了加拿大和中国生产1单位计算机和1单位小麦所需的劳动时间。假定生产计算机和小麦都只用劳动,加拿大的总劳动为600小时,中国总劳动为800小时。
计算机
小麦
中国 100小时 4小时
加拿大 60小时 3小时
1】 计算不发生贸易时各国生产计算机的机会成本。
中国生产计算机的机会成本为100/4=25,加拿大为60/3=20 棉花
大米 A国 240 100 B国 800 1200
2】 哪个国家具有生产计算机的比较优势?哪个国家具有生产小麦的比较优势?
因为加拿大生产计算机的机会成本比中国低,所以加拿大具有生产者计算机的比较优势,中国就具有生产小麦的比较优势。
3】 如果给定世界价格是1单位计算机交换22单位的小麦,加拿大参与贸易可以从每单位的进口中节省多少劳动时间?中国可以从每单位进口中节省多少劳动时间?如果给定世界价格是1单位计算机交换24单位的小麦,加拿大和中国分别可以从进口每单位的货物中节省多少劳动时间?
如果各国按照比较优势生产和出口,加拿大进口小麦出口计算机,中国进口计算机出口小麦。加拿大进口一单位小麦需要出口1/22单位计算机,折合成劳动时间来算,生产一单位小麦本国要用3小时,但生产1/22单位计算机本国要用60/22小时劳动,所以加拿大进口一单位小麦相当于用60/22小时的劳动换回本国3小时生产的产品,节省了3-60/22=3/11小时的劳动时间。中国进口一单位计算机需要出口22单位小麦,相当于用22*4=88小时劳动换回本国需用100小时生产的产品,节省了100-88=12小时。
如果世界价格是1单位计算机交换24单位的小麦,则相当于用60/24小时的劳动换回本国3小时生产的产品,节省了3-60/24=1/2小时的劳动时间。中国进口一单位计算机需要出口24单位小麦,相当于用24*4=96
小时的劳动换回本国需用100小时生产的产品,节省了100-96=4小时的劳动时间。
4】在自由贸易的情况下,各国应生产什么产品,数量是多少?整个世界的福利水平是提高还是降低了?试用图分析。(以效用水平来衡量福利水平)加拿大应专业生产计算机,数量为600/60=10单位;中国应专业生产小麦,数量为800/4=200单位。中国的福利水平从U01上升到U11,加拿大的福利水平从U02上升到U12,整个世界福利水平上升了。
4、在古典贸易模型中,假设A国有120名劳动力,B国有50名劳动力,如果 生产棉花的话,A国的人均产量是2吨,B国也是2吨;要是生产大米的话,A国的人均产量是10吨,B国则是16吨。画出两国的生产可能性曲线并分析两国中哪一国拥有生产大米的绝对优势?哪一国拥有生产大米的比较优势?
思路:B国由于每人能生产16吨大米,而A国每人仅生产10吨大米,所以B 国具有生产大米的绝对优势。从两国生产可能性曲线看出A国生产大米的机会成本为0.2,而B国为0.125,所以B国生产大米的机会成本或相对成本低于A国,B国生产大米具有比较优势。
5、两种产品多个国家的情况。下表给出了4个国家生产1单位大米和小麦的 劳动投入量。
美国 法国 中国 泰国 大米 2 5 9 8 小麦 0.5 2 3 6
已知国际市场均衡的大米相对价格为2,则按照比较优势的原则,各国的贸易模式如何?当国际市场对大米需求增加导致大米的相对价格上升至3.5,各国贸易模式会受到影响吗?如果有,怎样变化?
思路:各国大米的相对成本按照从低到高排列依次为美国4,中国3,法国2.5, 泰国4/3, 国际市场均衡的大米相对价格为2,介于法国和泰国之间,所以按照比较优势的原则,泰国出口大米进口小麦,美国、中国和法国出口小麦进口大米。当大米的国际价格上升到3.5时,就只有美国出口小麦进口大米,其它国家出口大米进口小麦。
6、两个国家多种产品的情况。下表给出了两国生产四种产品所需的单位劳动 时间。
芯片 香蕉 单放机 汽车 美国 25 5 10 50 菲律宾 100 1 20 250
如果美国工资是$10/小时,菲律宾的工资水平是$3/小时,两国发生贸易,按照比较优势的原则,各应生产和出口什么产品?如果美国的工资上升为$11/小时,贸易模式会受影响吗?
思路:美国生产这四种产品的相对劳动生产率从高到低为汽车5,芯片4,单放 机2,香蕉0.2, 而同时美国的相对工资为10/3,介于芯片和单放机之间,按照比较优势的原则,美国应该生产和出口汽车和芯片,进口单放机和香蕉;菲律宾应该生产和出口单放机和香蕉,进口汽车和芯片。如果美国的工资上升为$11/小时,美国的相对工资还是介于芯片和单放机之间,所以贸易模式不会受影响。
7、假设A、B两国生产技术相同且在短期内不变:生产一单位衣服需要的资本为1,需要的劳动为3;生产一单位食品需要的资本为2,需要的劳动为2。A国拥有160单位劳动和100单位资本;B国拥有120单位劳动和80单位资本。则
(1)哪个国家为资本充裕的国家?(2)哪种产品为劳动密集型产品?
(3)假设所有要素都充分利用,计算各国各自最多能生产多少服装或多少食 品?(4)假设两国偏好相同,两国间进行贸易,哪个国家会出口服装?哪个国家 出口食品?
思路:(1)由于B国的资本劳动比例高于A国,所以B国为资本充裕的国家。(2)由于衣服的劳动资本比例高于食品,所以衣服为劳动密集型产品。
(3)A国最多能生产160/3单位的衣服和50单位的食品;B国最多能生产 40单位的衣服和40单位的食品。
(4)根据H-O模型的结论,服装是劳动密集型的产品应由劳动充裕的国定 即A国出口,食品为资本为密集型的产品应由资本充裕的国家即B国出口。
8、假设A国是个劳动力充裕的国家,以劳动力和土地两种要素生产服装和玉 米。服装是劳动密集型产品,玉米是土地密集型产品。给定A国作为一个小国参加自由贸易。
(1)A国会出口什么产品?
(2)A国国内服装和玉米的价格会发生什么变化?
(3)假设突然有大批移民进入A国,对该国的生产、贸易量和福利有什么影响?请简要说明。
(4)如果A国是个大国,上述3题的结论还会一样吗? 思路:(1)A国会出口服装。
(2)A国作为一个小国参加自由贸易后会出口服装进口玉米,从而导致服 装价格上升,玉米价格下降。
(3)由罗勃津斯基定理,大量移民的涌入会使该国密集使用劳动的品— —服装的生产增加,同时使另一种产品——玉米的生产下降,贸量扩大,社会总体的福利也会扩大。
(4)如果A国是大国,则前两问不变。由于大国的贸易条件会随着进出口 量的变化而变化,第三问的结论有被大国贸易条件恶化所抵消,这种贸易条件恶化的程度取决于进出口产品的供需弹性。
9、设中国是汽车进口的小国,对汽车的需求和供给分别Dc = 2000-0.02P Sc = 1200 + 0.02P 并设国际市场上汽车的价格为10000,请用数字和图形说明下列问题:
1】贸易前,中国汽车的产量和价格; 令Dc =Sc,得贸易前中国汽车价格为20000,产量为2000-0.02×20000=1600。
2】自由贸易下,中国汽车的产量及进口或出口量; 自由贸易下中国进口汽车,由于假设中国为汽车进口小国,则国内汽车价格等于国际市场价格10000,汽车的需求为Dc =1800,生产为Sc =1400,进口量为1800-1400=400。3】自由贸易对国内消费者、厂商和整个社会的福利影响价格
消费者福利增加a+b=1/2*(1800+1600)*10000=1.7*107
生产者利润减少a=1/2*(1400+1600)*10000=1.5*107 社会福利增加b=(a+b)-a=2*106
第二篇:国际贸易理论
国际贸易额:是以货币表示现行世界市场价格计算的各国与各地区的进口总额或出口总额之和,它能够反映某一时期内的贸易总额。国际贸易量:是以一定时期的不变价格为标准计算的各个时期的国际贸易额,即用出口价格指数去除出口额,得出消除价格变动的近似值。
对外贸易依存度:是指一国对外贸易总额在该国国内生产总值(GDP)或国民生产总值(GNP)中所占的比重。
贸易差额:是一国在一定时期内出口贸易额与进口贸易额之间的差额。贸易条件:是用来衡量在一定时期内一个国家出口相对于进口的盈利能力和贸易利益的指标
总贸易:以国境作为为标准统计货物进出口的方法,凡进入国境的商品一律列为总进口,凡离开国境的商品一律列为总出口。
对外贸易地理方向:又称对外贸易地区分布或对外贸易国别结构,指一定时期内世界各国、各地区、各国家集团在一国对外贸易中所占地位,通常以它们对该国的进出口总额占该国出进口总额的比重来表示。
转口贸易:也称中转贸易,是指一国或地区进口某种商品不是以消费为目的,而是将它作为商品在向别国出口的贸易活动。
垂直型国际分工:是指经济发展水平不同的国家之间的纵向分工,主要指发达国家的制造业与发展中国家的农业、矿业之间的分工。
水平型国际分工:是指经济发展水平基本相同或相似的国家之间的分工,主要指发达国家与发达国家之间在工业部门间的分工。
世界市场:或国际市场,是世界各国相互间进行商品、服务和科技交换的场所,是由世界范围内通过对外贸易联系起来的各国商品流通领域的总和。
重商主义:是资本主义早期的国际贸易理论。绝对优势理论:一个国家生产某单位商品所使得资源少于另一个国家同类商品的生产。
比较优势理论:在两国都能生产两种产品的条件下,其中一国在两种产品的生产上都处于优势地位,而另一国均处于劣势地位,则处于优势地位的国家应专门生产相对优势最大的那种产品,处于劣势地位的国家应专门生产相对劣势最小的那种产品,然后参与国际贸易,双方均可以获得利益。要素禀赋:是指一国所拥有的可用于生产商品和劳务的各种生产要素的总量。
要素密集度:是指商品生产中所需要的各种要素之间的投入比例。要素丰裕度:是指一国的生产要素禀赋中某要素供给所占比例大于别国同种要素的供给比例而相对价格低于别国同种要素的相对价格。要素价格均等化理论:可表述为,在满足要素禀赋理论的全部假设条件下,国际贸易会使得各国同质的生产因素获得相同的相对于绝对收入。
贸易条件:是指商品的污物交换比例,是以商品表示的贸易条件,它适用于抽象的理论分析,但不能用于分析一国一定时期贸易地位的变化。四种形式:
1、商品贸易条件或净贸易条件
2、收入贸易条件
3、单因素贸易条件
4、双因素贸易条件
里昂惕夫之谜:不同解释:
1、劳动者技能水平的差异
2、人力资本的差异
3、贸易壁垒的差异
4、自然资源因素被忽略
5、要素密集型逆转发生 产品生命周期:是解释工业制品贸易流向最有说服力的理论之一。三个阶段:分为
1、产品创新阶段。创新国发明并垄断技术、技术尚需改进、工艺流程尚未定型;创新国生产 ;需要科学家、工程师等高度技术熟练工人的大量劳动,是技术密集型 ;对于企业来说不是最重要的问题 ;价格比较高 ;创新国出口,国外富有者进口
2、产品成熟阶段。生产技术已定型,技术诀窍扩散到国外,仿制开始;在东道国设立子公司进行生产;半熟练劳动力,产品由技术密集型转变为资本密集型;成本要比创新国的进口产品低 ;降低价格扩大销路;创新国对东道国的出口有所下降,但对其他绝大多数市场的出口仍可继续
3、产品标准化阶段。产品已完全标准化,发展中国家也开始掌握这种技术;生产地已开始向一般发达国家,甚至发展中国家转移;劳动密集型产品;产品成本开始下降;价格大众化;创新国开始从产品出口转变为进口
规模经济:指的是随着厂商生产规模的扩大,产量的增加,产品的平均成本下降,厂商因生产规模扩大而获得额外的报酬,规模经济也称为“规模报酬递增”。
产业内贸易:是指一个国家或地区,在一段时间内,同一产业部门产品既进口又出口的现象。产品必须具备两个基本条件:
1、是产品中使用的生产要素相近或相似;
2、是消费具有相互替代性。形成原因:
1、产品的异质性是产业内贸易的重要基础
2、规模经济收益递增是产业内贸易形成的重要原因
3、经济发展水平是产业内贸易的重要制约因素 新贸易理论:是指80年代初以来,以保罗·克鲁格曼(Paul Krugman)为代
表的一批经济学家提出的一系列关于国际贸易的原因。
内部规模经济贸易:主要来源于企业本身规模的扩大。一个企业享有内部规模经济的优势,它的成本就随着产量增加而减少,从而得到了生产的优势。这样它的产品在贸易活动中的竞争能力必然大大提高,占据贸易优势,取得贸易利益。外部规模经济贸易:主要来源于行业内数量的增加所引起的产业规模的扩大。外部规模经济同样影响国际贸易。当存在外部经济时,大规模从事某一行业产品生产的国家,往往在该产品的生产上具有较低的平均成本,这样,该国在该种产品上就具有比较优势。在存在外部规模经济效果的行业,该行业在哪一国最先建立,最先扩大了规模,降低了成本,在很大程度上取决于历史原因。
国际贸易额:是以货币表示现行世界市场价格计算的各国与各地区的进口总额或出口总额之和,它能够反映某一时期内的贸易总额。国际贸易量:是以一定时期的不变价格为标准计算的各个时期的国际贸易额,即用出口价格指数去除出口额,得出消除价格变动的近似值。

the goods to the buyer at the agreed place by the agreed methods.There are the following ways to stipulate the time of delivery in the contract.In stipulate the time of delivery we have to pay attention to the followings:(1)The shipment date should be made in such a manner that it facilitates the seller and enables the seller to effect shipment on time and perform the relevant obligations stipulated in the contract.For instance, the seller should be given a period of reasonable time for arranging the supply of the contracted goods.(2)Different shipment period should be fixed, based on the availability of shipping space, for contracted goods of different nature.An unreasonable short time for shipment shall cause no little inconvenience to the seller.(3)According to the relevant stipulations of(Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits): Expressions such as “prompt”;“immediately”, “as soon as possible” and the like should not be used.If they are used banks will disregard them.(4)Unless otherwise stipulated in the credit, the expression “shipment” used in stipulating an earliest and/or a latest shipment date will be understood to include the expressions “ loading on board”, “dispatch”, “accepted for carriage”, “flight date”, “date of post receipt”, ”date of pickup“ and in the case of a credit calling for or allowing a multi-modal transport document the expression “taking in charge”.(5)If the expression “on or about” and similar expressions are used, banks will interpret them as a stipulation that shipment is to be made during the period from the five days before to five days after the specified date, both end days included.The words “to”, “until”, “till”, “from” and words of similar expressions applied to any date or period in the credit referring to shipment will be understood to include the date mentioned.The word “after” will be understood to exclude the date mentioned.The term “first half”, “second half” of a month shall be construed respectively as the 1st to the 15th, and the 16th to the last day of such month, all dates inclusive.The terms “beginning”, “middle”, or “end” of a month shall be construed respectively as the 1st to the 10th, the 11th to the 20th', and the 21st to the last day of such month, all dates inclusive.23.The Bill of Lading has three important functions.a.It is a receipt for goods signed by the shipping company and given to the shippers;b.It is also evidence of a contract of carriage between the shipping company and shippers.In addition, c.it is a document of title because the legal owner of the Bill of Lading is the owner of the goods.For this reason the Bill of Lading can be used to transfer the goods-from one owner to another.“When the exporters complete it, they can write the buyer’s name in the space, “consignee”.This means the consignee is the legal owner of the goods, 20 as named on Bill of Lading.Otherwise the exporters can write “to other” in the consignee space.Underneath “to order” they write the name and address of the agent.Then the agent in the importing country can endorse the bill to the buyer.In this way the importers can transfer the consignment to their customers.This means that there has to be a separate Bill of Lading for each consignee and several consignments can not be consolidated on to one bill.24.There are several types of Bills of Lading which are categorized in different ways.(1).On board B/L and received for shipment B/L According to whether the goods are loaded or not, the bills of lading can be classified into on board(or shipped)B/L and received(or received for shipment)B/L.A shipped on board B/L is evidence that the goods have been loaded on board a certain steamer.It commences with the wording “Shipped in apparent good order and condition”, According to general foreign trade practices, only the shipped on board B/L is accepted by banks for payment under a L/C.(2).Clean bill and unclean bill According to whether there are notes on the B/L, it falls into 2 kinds: clean B/L and unclean B/L.A clean B/L shows that the goods have been shipped on board a vessel in apparent good order and condition, and there is no modification of the shipowner.This bill of lading is called “clean” or “unclaused”.It confirms that the goods have not suffered apparent or outside damage and there does not seem to be any defect in the packing.By issuing clean bill of lading, the shipowner admits his full liability of the cargo described in the Bill under the law and his contract.This type is much favored by banks for financial settlement purpose.Unclean B/L is generally marked “insufficiently packed”, “covers old and stained”, “wet by rain”, “…packed in damaged condition”, “unclean”, “foul”, etc.There are many recurring types of such clauses including inadequate packaging, unprotected machinery, wet or stained cartons, damaged crates, etc.This type of B/L is usually unacceptable to a bank.But not all B/L(s)which are noted are unclean B/L.(3).A straight B/L, An order B/L and A blank B/L According to whether the B/L is transferable, it is divided into 3 kinds: straight B/L, order B/L and blank B/L.A straight B/L is made out so that only the named consignee at the destination is entitled to take delivery of the goods under the bill.The consignee is designated by the shipper.The carrier has to hand over the cargo to the named consignee, not to any third party in possession of the bill.This kind of B/L is not transferable.The shipper cannot pass the bill to a third party by endorsement.So the bill is of very restricted application.When the goods are shipped on a non-commercial basis, such as samples or exhibits, materials in aid of other countries, or when the goods are extremely valuable, a straight B/L is generally issued.21 An order B/L indicates that the bill is made out to the order of or to order of …any person named in such a bill, which may be transferred /negotiated after endorsement.So it is sometimes called transferable B/L.It is because of this that nowadays, it is commonly used in international practice.A blank B/L is also called open B/L or bearer B/L.It refers to the bill in which the name of a definite consignee is not mentioned.The area in B/L calling for the name of the consignee is left blank, with neither the name of the consignee nor the phraseology of “to order” filled in.This kind of B/L can be transferred/ negotiable without endorsement.There usually appear in the box of consignee words like “to bearer” and holder of the B/L can take delivery of the goods against the surrender of B/L, i.e., ownership of the goods passes when the bill is handed over to anyone.(4).Direct B/L, A transshipment B/L, A through B/L According to the modes of transport, it can be divided into 3 kinds.A direct B/L is referred to the consignment carried to the port of destination directly without transshipment.A transhipment B/L is issued by shipping companies when there is no direct service between the port of loading and port of destination, and the ship owner arranges to tranship the cargo at an intermediate port at his expense.This kind of Bill usually bears such a clause “Transhipment to be made”
A through B/L is issued when the entire voyage involves more than one carrier, where the ocean shipment forms only part of the complete journey and, subsequent thereto, the goods have to be carried by other land or sea carriers.The first carrier issues the bill and collects the freight for the entire voyage, and arranges transshipment and forwarding of the goods at the intermediate port.The shipper prefers this kind of B/L because of the trouble having been saved to deal with other carriers by himself.(5).A long form B/L, A short form B/L According to the contents of the B/L, it can be divided into 2 forms: Long Form B/L and Short Form B/L A long form B/L refers to the B/L on the back of which all the detailed terms and conditions about the rights and obligations of the carrier and the consignor are listed as an integral part of the bill.It is more frequently used.A short form B/L is a document which omits the terms and conditions on the back of B/L.(6).A freight prepaid B/L, A freight to be collected B/L According to the time for payment of freight, it can be divided into 2 types.A freight prepaid B/L means that all the freight is paid by the consignor when B/L is issued by the carrier on which “freight prepaid” is indicated.A freight to be collected B/L refers to the B/L on which “freight payable at destination” is indicated.22(7).A liner B/L, A charter party B/L According to the types of the carrying vessels, it can be classified into a liner B/L and a charter party B/L.(8).Other types of B/L Besides the above-mentioned types of B/L there are some other types such as: container B/L;on Deck B/L;stale B/L;groupage B/L;house B/L;antedated B/L and advanced B/L.1.答:包装重要性体现在以下几个方面:
(1)是实现商品价值和使用价值的重要手段,是商品生产和消费之间的桥梁。
(2)出口商品需经过长距离辗转运输,有时需多次装卸、搬运和存储,包装可保证商品质量和数量完整,方便货物装卸、搬运、储存。
(3)商品生产过程,包装是最后一道工序;在流通领域中,包装具有保护商品、美化商品、宣传商品、提高售价的重要作用,并可作为对外竞争的重要手段。约定包装条件的意义在于:
(1)不仅起到保护和美化商品作用,且包装本身还是货物说明的组成部分。
(2)按一些国家法律解释,如一方违反了所约定的包装条件,另一方有权提出索赔,甚至拒收货物。
2.答:(1)必须适应商品特性。(2)必须适应各种不同运输方式的要求。(3)必须考虑有关国家的法律规定和客户要求。
(4)要保证包装牢固的前提下节省费用,便于各环节有关人员进行操作以免使货物遭受损失。
3.答:(1)按包装方式,可分为单件运输包装和集合运输包装,后者又分为集装包和集装袋。
(2)按包装造型,可分为箱、袋、桶和捆等方式。
(3)按包装材料,可分为纸制,金属、木制、麻制品、玻璃制品、陶瓷制品及竹、柳、草制品包装等。
(4)按包装质地,可分为软性,半硬性和硬性包装。(5)按包装程度,可分为全部包装和局部包装。
4.答:(1)便于陈列展销,以吸引顾客和供消费者选购。(2)便于识别商品,以便消费者了解,看货成交。(3)便于携带和使用,为消费者提供方便。
(4)要有艺术吸引力,以便吸引顾客、提高售价、扩大销路。
5.答:(1)包装的装潢画面要美观大方,富有艺术吸引力,突出特点,图案和色彩要适应有关国家民族习惯和爱好,便于扩大出口。
(2)包装上的文字说明应同装潢画面紧密配合,互相衬托,以达到宣传和促销目的,使用文字应简明扼要,并能让顾客看懂,必要时可中、外文并用。
23(3)包装上标签应注意有关国家的标签管理条例,尤其是食品、药品、服装。(4)销售包装还应注意条形码技术的使用问题。
6.答:(1)有效提高结算效率和准确性,也方便了顾客。
(2)有利于提高国际间贸易信息传递的准确性,使交易双方及时了解对方 商品有关资料和本国商品在对方的销售情况。
(3)条形码的使用是有效促使名优商品打入许多国家超级市场的前提条件。7.答:定牌生产产生的原因有:
(1)世界许多国家超级市场、大百货公司和专业商店在其经营出售商品上标有本商店使用的商标或品牌,以扩大本企业知名度并显示该商品身价。
(2)出口厂商为利用买方经营能力及商业信誉和品牌声誉,以提高商品售价和扩大销路,也采用定牌生产。
我国出口贸易中定牌生产具体做法有:
(1)在商品或包装上,打印上外商所指定的商标或品牌,而不标明生产国别和出口厂商名称。
(2)在商品或包装上,表明我国的商标或品牌,同时加注国外商号名称或表示其商号的标记。
(3)在商品或包装上,采用买方指定商标或品牌,同时注明“中国制造”字样。8.答:制定原因为:(1)运输标志内容较多。(2)有时要加进一些不必要项目。
(3)各国和各种运输方式之间对运输标志的要求差异较大,不能适应国际货物流动量的增加和多式联运的开展,不利于电子计算机在运输和单证流转方面的应用。作用有:
(1)减少了运输标志内容,节省出口成本、时间和费用。(2)提高计算机操作和审单效率,加速船舶和资金周转。
(3)消除因运输标志内容过多和繁杂而可能造成的失误和困难,保证交货的顺利进行。9.答:
(1)对包装要求应当明确具体,做到明确规定包装材料、造型、规格。除传统商品外不宜采用“按惯常方式包装”等含糊包装术语。另外,除非买卖双方对具体内容事先充分交换意见或在长期业务往来中就问题取得一致认识,包装条款一定要明确具体。
(2)应订明包装费用由何方负担。按惯例,包装费用一般在货价之内,包装条款中无须另行订明。若买方坚持要求对原本不需包装的商品实施特殊包装,导致包装费用超出正常,增加产品成本,或包装物料刚好构成产品成本增加时,则订明包装费用负担。若卖方同意接受买方提供包装,包装条款中还应订明寄送包装方法,包装送达日期,送交包装延迟责任及运送包装费用负担等内容。进口合同中对包装技术性较强的商品通常在单价后注明“包括包装费用”,以免发生纠纷。
24(3)明确由何方提供运输标志。按惯例,运输标志可由买方提供,也可由卖方决定。卖方决定时可不订入合同,或只订明“卖方标志”,由卖方设计后通知买方。买方提供时应在合同中规定买方提供时间,如超过时间卖方可提出其他补救方法。
(4)明确包装不良应负的责任。保险公司一般不负责因包装不良造成的损失。在包装条款中,应对包装不善所造成损失的索赔问题作适当规定,以防止进口货物因包装不良受到损失,对仪器、机器设备进口时使用的包装条款,更应就索赔问题作出详细规定。10.答:(1)大陆法系将实际履行作为一种主要的救济方法。(2)英美法系将实际履行作为例外的辅助性的救济方法。(3)按《公约》的规定,当事人有权要求对方实际履行合同义务。
11.答:(1)大陆法系认为,损害赔偿责任的成立,必须具备以下三个条件: 必须要有A、必须要有损害事实。B、须有归责于债务人的原因。
C、损害是由于债务人应予负责的原因造成。
(2)英美法认为,只要一方违约,就足以构成对方可以提起损害赔偿之诉。(3)《公约》认为,损害赔偿是一种主要的救济方法。
12.答:(1)《德国民法典》认为,损害赔偿的范围应包括违约所造成的与实际损失和所得利益两方面。法国法关于损失赔偿的范围的原则与德国法是一致的。(2)英美法认为,损失赔偿的范围,是使由于债务人违约而蒙受损害的一方,在经济上能处于该合同得到履行时同等地位。另外还规定,一方违约,另一方有 义务采取一切合理的措施以减少违约造成的损失,否则本来可以合理避免的损 失,不能要求给以赔偿。
(3)我国《涉外经济合同法》对损害赔偿金额的确定,遵循两个原则: A、当事人赔偿责任应相当于另一方所受的损失。
B、赔偿责任不得超过违约方在订立合同时应当预见到的因违反合同可能造成的 损失。
(4)《公约》对此也有规定、A、一方当事人违反合同应负的损害赔偿额,应与另一方当事人因他违反合同而 遭受的包括利润在内的损失额相等。
B、为限制守约方漫天要价,还规定了守约方可以得到的损害赔偿“不得超过违反合同一方在订立合同时,按照他当时已知道或理应知道的事实和情况,对违反合同预料和理应预料到的可能损失”。
13.答:(1)大陆法对此规定得比较简单。大陆法认为,只要合同一方当事人不履行其合同义务时,对方就有权解除合同。
(2)英国法认为,一方违约构成违反要件,对方才可要求解除合同;如果一方 仅仅是违反担保,对方只能请求损害赔偿,而不能要求解除合同。美国法与英国 法的规定有些相似。
25(3)《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》认为,合同一方不履行义务构成根本性违约,另一方有权解除合同。
(4)我国《涉外经济合同法》认为,一方违约,另一方在下列两种情况下才能 要求解除合同:
A、违约必须导致严重影响订立合同所期望的经济利益。
B、如果一方在合同规定的期限内没有履行合同义务,而且在被允许的推迟履行 的合理期限内仍未履行,则守约方可要求解除合同义务。
14.答:(1)认真细致身后国外买方提出的单证和出证机构的合法性。(2)认真做好调查研究、弄清事实、分清责任。(3)要合理确定损失程度、金额、和赔付办法。15.答:(1)两种办法:
A、通过实际占有货物的办法行使停运权。
B、把行使停运权的要求通知占有货物的承运人和货物的保管人,但要按卖方的 指示处置货物。
(2)未收货款的卖方在行使停运权时要注意必须符合下列三个条件: A、卖方已经丧失了对货物的占有权。B、卖方必须在买方无力偿付时行使停运权。C、卖方必须在货物处于运输过程中行使其停运权。16.答:(1)卖方所交货物不具备商销品质。(2)卖方所交货物与合同说明不一样。(3)卖方所交货物不适合约定的特殊用途。(4)卖方所交货物与凭样成交时的品种不符。(5)卖方所交货物与合同规定的品种不同。

2.Company CH exported to a Nigerian company a consignment of torches totaling about 60000 pounds.The relevant L/C from Nigeria stipulated, “The goods shall be shipped by six installments from June to November” Company CH shipped the goods in compliance with the prescription of the L/C in June, July and August, and obtained the relevant installment payments.However, in September the goods could not be loaded on board because a heavy typhoon was attacking the coastal area.Then, company CH decided to continue with the shipment in October.When the documents were sent to Nigeria, the Issuing Bank was justified in refusing payment? Please refer to relative stipulations in the UCP 600 and explain the reasons.3.A ship started on its voyage after loading, but in the course of the journey a fire broke out during transit in Hold A, which had been loaded with stationary and tea.The captain ordered his crew to pour water on the fire.It was found out, after the fire was extinguished, that part of the stationery had been burned, the remainder and the tea had been soaked through.Then, what risk would you have covered if you had wanted to be compensated for the losses? 4.A Chinese export company concluded a business with a British agent in 2005 metric tons of commodity at DM 345 CFR Antwerp per metric ton.The time of shipment was November 2005 and February 2006.The agent issued the relevant letter of credit on time, stipulating the latest date of shipment as December31, 2005.The original ship the Chinese company booked, however, came to the port of shipment on December 31.Because of unidentified reasons, the goods were actually shipped on the 18th of January 2006.The Chinese export company put the issuing date of the bill of lading back to December 31, 2005, and obtained payment from the bank against the relevant documents.The ship reached Antwerp in early April 2006.This aroused doubt from the client, who, after inviting the court surveyors, went aboard and examined the logbook.When the client found out that the actual date of shipment was January 18, 2006, he refused to take delivery and claimed compensation from the Chinese export company.How would you settle this issue? 5.In 2005, a certain export company of China sent a group of businessmen to the United States for purchase of equipment.In New York both parties reached an oral agreement on such items as specifications, unit price, and quantity.Upon leaving, the group indicated to the other party that, when they got back to Beijing, they would draw a contract, which would become effective after being signed by both parties.After going back to Beijing, the group found that the clients withdrew their import of the equipment, and thus the contract was not signed and the L/C was not opened, either.The US side urged the Chinese side to perform the contract;otherwise they would lodge a claim with the Chinese side in the US.Please analyze the case and give an opinion on how the Chinese export company was to deal with this case and why? 6.A Chinese trading company E concluded a transaction in steel with a Hong Kong company W on the basis of FOB China Port.Company W immediately resold the steel to Company H in Libya on the terms of CFR Liberia.The L/C form W required the price terms to be FOB China Port and the goods to be directly delivered to Liberia.The L/C also required “Freight Prepaid” to be indicated on Bill of Lading.Why did Company W perform so? What should we do about it? 7.A Chinese import and export company concluded a Sales Contract with a Holland firm on August 5, 2000, selling a batch of certain commodity.The contract was based on CIF Rotterdam at USD 2500 per metric ton.The Chinese company delivered the goods in compliance with the contract and obtained a clean-on-board Bill of Lading.During transportation, however, 100 metric tons of the goods got lost because of rough sea.Upon arrival of the goods, the price of the contracted goods went down quickly.The buyer refused to take delivery of the goods and effect payment and claimed damages from the seller.How would you deal with this case? 8.The ABC Company exported a consignment of silk.As the shipping marks in the relevant L/C were not clear, the person in charge thought that the L/C did not stipulate the shipping marks.He, then, made the shipping marks himself.As a result, discrepancies occurred between the made shipping marks and those stated in the L/C.The buyers, therefore, refused to pay for the documents.However, after negotiation, the buyers agreed to pay only when the ABC Company had reduced the original prices by 10 percent.What lesson can we learn from this case? 9.Mr.Smith, an American businessman, sold a batch of IBM computers to a Hong Kong importer, Mr.Chen.The sales contract was concluded in the United States of America on the terms of CIF Hong Kong.During execution of this contract, disputes arose between the seller and the buyer on the form and interpretation of the contract.In such a case, did the law of the U.S.A.or the law of Hong Kong apply to the disputes? Why? 10.我某外贸公司向日本商人以D/P见票即付方式推销某商品,对方答复如我方接受D/P见票后90天付款条件,并通过他指定的A银行代收货款则可接受。请分析日方提出此项要求的出发点。

Keys to case study:
1.July 1, 15 July-25 July, 12 July, on or before 12 July, 2 August, 12 July 2.The Issuing Bank was justified in refusing payment because it acted in accordance with the relevant stipulations in the UCP 600 stipulates that If drawing and/or shipments by installments within given periods are stipulated in the Credit and any installments is not drawn and/or a shipped within the period allowed for that installment, the credit ceases to be available for that and any subsequent installments„„
In this case, the L/C from Nigeria stipulated installment shipments from June to November, and 29 Company CH shipped the goods from June to August and got paid.However, in September Company CH stopped shipping because of a heavy typhoon.In accordance with article 41, the Credit ceased to be availed for the September installment and the subsequent installments, unless otherwise stipulated in the Credit.In this case, as there no other L/C stipulations, the Issuing Bank was right.3.The loss to the stationary pertained to particular average caused by fortuitous accident while the loss to the tea was a partial one, but general average, the losses of G.A.need to be compensated by the interest parties on the proportion value saved„„The insurance company will have compensated for the losses if the goods had been insured against F.P.A.4.In this case the Chinese company had to accept the claim.According to international business practice, the date of delivery is one of the essential terms in a contract, which means that, if one party breaches the date of delivery, the other party may ask for compensation from that party.In this case, the seller put back the real date of shipment so as to cheat the buyer and get paid from the relevant bank, thus trying to escape the responsibilities for the delay of shipment.This is not allowed in business practice because the prices in international markets are frequently changing;therefore, time is money.If the buyer had received his goods in time, he might have been able to grasp a good opportunity and achieve a good profit.On the contrary, as a result of delay on the part of the seller, the buyer lost the chance.5.According to Article 11 of CISG: “A contract of sale need not be concluded in, or evidenced by, writing and is not subject to any other requirement as to form.It may be proved by any means, including witnesses.” Though China and the US are both member countries of the CISG, China declared that it won’t be bound by Article 11 and its related articles.That is to say, any kind of contracts in China must be evidencing by writing.In this case, though both companies agreed orally as to the main terms of the sales contract, there is no writing evidencing the contract.This contract, according to Chinese law, is not effective.6 In this case the contract was concluded between Company E and Company W on FOB term, according to which the seller(Company E)ended his responsibilities when he delivered the goods on board the ship at the port of shipment.He did not need to pay for transportation of the goods or the insurance premium.Therefore, it was not right for W to ask E to pay the freight and indicate “Freight Repaid” on the Bill of Lading.The reason why W asked E to do that might be that he wanted to transfer the freight charges to E.However, in practical dealings, foreign trade companies often come across such situations, especially when a contract is concluded with an agent, who wants to resells the goods.In this case, E might comply with W’s request, but he had to indicated that the freight should be borne by W.7.According to Article 11 of CISG: “A contract of sale need not be concluded in, or evidenced by, writing and is not subject to any other requirement as to form.It may be proved by any means, including witnesses.” Though China and the US are both member countries of the CISG, China declared that it won’t be bound by Article 11 and its related articles.That is to say, any kind of 30 contracts in China must be evidencing by writing.In this case, though both companies agreed orally as to the main terms of the sales contract, there is no writing evidencing the contract.This contract, according to Chinese law, is not effective.8.The most important lesson we can learn is that, it is essential for the exporter to present documents in accordance with the stipulations of the relevant LC.In this case, finding the shipping marks illegible on the LC, the export salesman in the ABC Company, instead of asking the buyer for clarification, decided the shipping marks himself.This constituted discrepancy between the documents and the LC.Article 14 of the UCP500 clearly indicates, “When the Issuing Bank authorizes another bank to pay, incur a deferred payment undertaking, accept draft(s), or negotiate against documents which appear on their face to be in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Credit…” It is clear that the documents presented must be in conformity with the stipulations in the L/C.9.The law of the United States of America applies to this contract because:(a)this was a CIF contract;(b)the place of conclusion of the contract was in the USA;(c)the place of the execution of the contract was also in the USA.The seller completed these responsibilities after he delivered the goods at the port of the USA.10.(1)提出将D/P即期改D/P90天远期,旨在推迟付款,利其资金周转。

在一般的D/P远期业务中,代收行在未经授权的情况下通常是不会轻易同意付款人借单的。该日商所以提出通过A银行代收货款的原因,当然是该商与A银行有既定融资关系,从而可取得提前借单的便利,以达到进一步利用我方资金的目的。
11.(1)案中因触礁造成船底划破,致使海水渗入货舱,造成船货的部分损失以及船舶遇恶劣气候,导致装载的某货主的一部分货物被海水浸湿的损失,属单独海损; 而因修理船只所花费的修理费和各项费用开支共8000美元属共同海损。A舱起火使一部分儿童玩具被烧毁属于单独海损;
而因灌水灭火使另一部分儿童玩具和全部茶叶被水浸湿属共同海损。
(2)在投保了平安险的情况下,被保险人有权就案中所有损失向保险公司提出赔偿要求。
12.本案买卖双方订立的是CIF合同。CIF合同的含义是卖方负担货物在装运港越过船舷前的一切责任、费用和风险。2000通则在CIF解释中的第B5款规定:“买方负担货物越过装运港的船舷后一切货损货差的风险”。因此,货船在途中沉没造成的货物损失应由买方负担,买方应接受所有单据并且按合同规定支付全部货款。在接受单据后,买方可以凭单据向保险单载明的承保人(保险公司)索赔,通常可以获得相当于货物价值1.1倍的赔偿。
13.(1)按国际贸易习惯,唛头由买方提供时在合同中应规定买方提供时间。如超过时间,卖方可提出其他补救办法,如自行规定唛头。
(2)该公司在此情况下应致电买方询问延误原因,请其快速电告所设计唛头,否则将由该公司自行规定。
14.买方的要求不尽合理。理由如下:
采用FOB术语成交,一般由买方负责租船订舱。卖方可以接受卖方的委托代为租船订舱,但卖方不承担租不到船的责任和风险。就此案例来说,因公司代为租船没有租到,买方又不同意更换条件,因此,该公司不承担因自己未租到船而延误装运的责任,买方也不能因此提出撤消合同。所以,买方的要求不合理,责任和风险应该由买方自己承担。
15.此项损失应由买方承担,买方不应该向该公司提出索赔。以CPT术语成交时,风险转移以货交承运人为界,即卖方将货物交给指定承运人,风险即由卖方转移至买方,买方可投货物保险以确保损失最小。就本案例而言,该公司已将货物交给承运人,运输途中及后期风险均由买方自己承担,因此,该公司可拒绝买方的索赔要求。
16.我方不能因床单受潮而拒付货款,也不能向卖方提出索赔。理由如下:
(1)采用CIF 术语成交时,属于象征性交货,卖方是凭单交货,买方是凭单付款,只要卖方如期向买方提交了合同规定的全套合格单据,即使货物在运输途中损坏或灭失,买方也必须旅行付款义务。反之,如果卖方提交的单据不符合要求,即使货物完好无损地运达目的地,买方仍有权拒付货款。就此案例而言,卖方提交了全套合格单据,我方应支付货款。(2)在CIF 条件下,买卖双方风险转移界限以船舷为界。货物越过船舷后的风险应由买方负担。就本案例可以看出,货物越过船舷之前是完好的,因此卖方不承担风险。我方据此不能向卖方提出索赔,可依据所投险别向保险公司提出索赔。17.该公司可向卖方提出索赔。理由如下:
按CFR 条件成交时,尽管货物在海运途中的风险已转移给买方,但买方为降低自己的风险可办理货运保险,这取决于卖方是否及时向买方发出装运通知。据惯例解释,如果卖方未及时向买方发出装运通知,导致买方未能及时办理保险手续,由此引起的损失由卖方负担。就本案例而言,该公司货物部分丢失是由于卖方未发出装船通知而公司未办理保险手续而引起的损失,故此,该公司应向卖方提出索赔。
18.按照CIP 条件成交,卖方要承担保险费和运费。因为CIP 条件适合于各种运输方式,风险是在承运人控制货物时转移,所以卖方要负责办理交货地点到指定目的地的全程运输,而不仅仅是水上运输,因此卖方应支付全程运费。就本案例而言,卖方支付了海上运输的费用,但并没有将货物送往指定目的地,因此还需支付铁路运输的费用。由此,我方应支付货款,但不需支付铁路运费,卖方行为不尽合理。
19.(1)外商做法是否合理应从两个方面来看。(2)一般来讲,保险公司不负责因包装不良所造成的损失。所以在进口合同条款中外商应对包装不善造成的损失的索赔问题做出详细规定。若买方已做出规定,包装不良造成损失由卖方负责,那么外商的做法是合理的。若买方未作具体规定,则外商做法不尽合理,应由双方协商解决,或提交仲裁机构解决。20.(1)我方据此提出拒收或索赔是完全合理的。(2)在国际货物买卖中,如一方违反了所约定的包装条件,另一方有权提出索赔,甚至可以拒收货物。由此可知,虽然外商交货数量与合同规定数量相符,但他的行为违反了合同中的包装条款,已构成违约,我方可以提出拒收或索赔。

第五篇:国际贸易理论学习心得
国际经济学之贸易理论与政策学习心得
班级:金融学2015届 学号:20150221016 姓名:雷顺利
一 绪论
大一的第二学期,我选修了一门“国际贸易理论与实务”的课程。我学的专业是制药,一开始选择这门课是觉得国际贸易听上去挺得瑟的,学了后和人交谈的时候就可以忽悠他几下;但是我也觉得在未来的日子里,总是要与经济方面的东西所联系的,所以学点经济也是有实用的。随着近一学期的课程的学习,同时在老师平时的悉心教导下,我对国际贸易这门学问有了崭新的认知与了解,并对这门学科产生了更加深刻的感想。
国际贸易是指不同国家(和/或地区)之间的商品和劳务的交换活动。国际贸易是商品和劳务的国际转移。国际贸易也叫世界贸易,它分为国际贸易理论与国际贸易实务。
(一)国际贸易理论的发展
大致经历了古典、新古典、新贸易理论以及新兴古典国际贸易理论四大阶段。古典和新古典国际贸易理论以完全竞争市场等假设为前提,强调贸易的互利性,主要解释了产业间贸易。二战后,以全球贸易的新态势为契机,新贸易理论应运而生,从不完全竞争、规模经济、技术进步等角度解释了新的贸易现象。新兴古典国际贸易理论则以专业化分工来解释贸易,力图将传统贸易理论和新贸易理论统一在新兴古典贸易理论的框架之内。
(二)国际贸易实务
主要包括国际贸易术语、国际货物运输、国际货物运输保险以及合同条款和付款方式等。国际贸易实务与现实的联系非常紧密,操作性非常强,有助于强化我们的动手实践的能力,巩固和深化已学过的理论、方法,提高发现问题、分析问题和解决问题的能力。在这门课程中,我自己认识与了解了进行国际货物买卖实务的具体操作,熟练了运用进出口的成本核算、询盘、报盘、还盘等各种基本技巧,还熟悉了国际贸易的物流、资金流和业务流的运作方式,体会国际贸易中不同当事人的不同地位、面临的具体工作和互动关系,学会了外贸公司利用各种方式控制成本以达到利润最大化的思路。通过调整商品成本和价格、调整汇率、业务费用、海运费、保险费率及突发事件等让我们了解到在相关法律下要充分发挥主观能动性,真正掌握和吸收课堂中所学的知识,为将来步入工作岗位打下良好基础。
国际贸易实务具有涉外活动实践性很强的特点,涉及到国际贸易法律与惯例、国际金融、国际运输与保险等学科的基本原理与基本知识的应用。因此我在学习过程中,往往感到内容多,涉及面广,政策性和操作性强,既有出口业务,又有进口业务;既要掌握国际法律与惯例,学会应用基本理论知识分析案例,又要学会有关的计算方法。面对市场化、国际化和信息化社会,作为一名物流专业学生,我认为掌握一些有关国际贸易的基本理论与实务知识有助于培养全方位的能力,提高综合素质,培养创新精神,增强我们的核心竞争能力。
(三)贸易术语
构成国际贸易单价的重要组成部分,故又称为价格术语或价格条件;同时还是用以划分买卖双方在交接货物过程中各自应承担的责任、风险和费用。而交货地点往往成为划分责任、风险、费用的界点。商品交换离不开运输,对外贸易运输是外贸业务中的一个重要环节。对外贸易运输方式种类很多,其中,海洋运输占有重要的地位。货运保险与货物运输一样,是国际贸易一个不可缺少的组成部分。保险涉及的范围很广,内容也较复杂且技术性强。货运保险的种类取决于运输方式,而海运又是国际货物运输的主要方式,海运货物保险在国际贸易中便具有突出的重要意义。价格、装运、结汇是国际贸易中的三大问题,在国际贸易中,大多以汇票作为支付工具、以信用证(L/C)作为支付方式进行货款的结算。货款的收付不单纯是一个技术问题,而且还受到各种政治和经济因素的制约。在学习中,我们要以国际贸易基本原理和国家对外方针政策为指导,把课程中所学到的基础理论和基本政策加以具体运用。力求做到理论与实践、政策与业务有效地结合起来,不断提高自己的分析与解决实际问题的能力。
二 总结
掌握国际贸易的理论和国内外常用的贸易政策,认识和理解国家有关贸易政策的理论依据及其对经济的影响,同时启发加入WTO后我国贸易体制和贸易政策的改革,让我们真正做到理论和实践相结合。即通过课程学习,使我们既有国际贸易和投资的基本理论知识,以便能为其他经济类课程的学习奠定基础。同时又有较强的操作能力和分析解决问题的能力,成为符合社会主义市场需求的新型人才。
自我国加入WTO之后,全球经济一体化日益加强,知识经济也成为了主流。如何在贸易大潮中取得先机,如何利用贸易更好的发展经济、改善国民生活质量,这些都是一个国家要思考要探索的问题。改革开放三十年以来,我国的经济建设取得了举世瞩目的成就,GDP一直保持举世罕见的高速增长。但是,我们深知,经济总量上的增长并不代表经济质量的真正发展,以此我国提出了转变经济发展方式的方针。在我国,拉动经济增长的“三驾马车”按照比例排,分别是“出口、投资、消费”。出口是主要增长点。因此,转变经济发展方式具体在对外贸易上,就是要转变出口结构,从以低价产品为主向高新技术产品为主转变。因此,作为当代的大学生,我想没有人可以完全对国际贸易丝毫不懂。国际贸易的最大意义也在于此。
同时,作为个人,要适应这样的时代,或者想要在这样一个经济全球化、一体化的时代有所作为,就必须掌握国际贸易的知识。总之,通过对国际贸易的学习,使我更加深刻的感觉到,国际贸易这门课是注重理论与实践紧密结合。通过系统地学习国际贸易理论与实务,使我们了解了国际贸易的基本理论,掌握了国际贸易的基本程序和基本做法,熟悉了进出口业务的各个环节,同时也掌握了国际上一些通行的惯例和普遍实行的原则,受益匪浅。这门课程是一种实践性很强的课程,它不光要求我们有扎实的理论知识而且必须具有很强的动手操作能力,因此在以后的学习生活中我还必须加强社会实践,培养自己的动手能力以适应社会的要求。在以后的学习中我会更加努力学习国际贸易知识,并且要学会把各门知识融会贯通,注重理论与实践的相结合,丰富自己的知识和生活阅历。
