Limitations of Early Trade Theories
Do not take into account the cost of international transportation
Tariffs and import restrictions can distort trade flows
Scale economies can bring about additional efficiencies
When governments selectively target certain industries for strategic investment, this may cause trade patterns contrary to theoretical explanations
Today, countries can access needed low-cost capital on global markets
Some services do not lend themselves to cross-border trade

Michael Porter’s Diamond Model:Sources of National Competitive
Advantage1. Firm strategy, structure, and rivalry –
the presence of strong competitors at home serves as a national competitive advantage
2. Factor conditions – labor, natural resources, capital, technology, entrepreneurship, and know how
3. Demand conditions at home – the strengths and sophistication of customer demand
4. Related and supporting industries – availability of clusters of suppliers and complementary firms with distinctive competences
