Abstract:
In this paper we described about trade barriers by discussing the various findings of the relevant studies. It is also discussed here that how trade barriers can affect the trade. The pulp of this paper or study is how much trade barriers are important for the protection of the domestic economy. There are two independent variables that are imports and exports and the dependent variable is trade. The previous papers have shown the impact of trade barriers on trade and we are going to explore and enhance the impact of tariff on trade.

When people will earn less and they will pay more for imported goods, due to this less people will have jobs and inflation rate will be high.
Many countries impose tariff on international product because they want to hurt the buyers from buying the goods from any other nation. Therefore the buyers will buy their own country’s product and it will improve the domestic economy. If there is no tariff on the imported goods then the country will import more and export less and this will take the economy into depression. But if the tariff on imported goods will be much high then there will be no trade.
Literature Review:
In this paper there is a case study of china and scope of technical non tariff measures imposed by china. The paper has shown the impact of Chinese non tariff measures on Asian exports. They collected value added and excise taxes on the base of imports and the rates of taxes were 5% to 17%. Augmented gravity model was used to estimate the results. Variable used in study were GDP, real GDP per capita, DST (distance between economic centers of “I” and

In the 1500’s the world was run on an Independent world, which meant that all countries were depending on their selves. Throughout the early to late 1500’s countries were trading with each other for goods either with money or other goods that other countries were unable to produce themselves. There were trade circles all over the world that trade runners would travel to unload their cargo and stock up products they receive from trade. These countries were trading materials such as gold, sugar, tobacco, and metals, and other raw materials that were valuable. By the 1700 the world was turning more interdependent.
This law increased custom duties by nearly 50% on imports of more than 20,000 types of goods. Many countries, as a retaliatory measure, also increased their import taxes. As a result, world trade fell sharply, which contributed to exacerbating the Great Depression. With overproduction still occurring, this international standstill only made to intensify the already critical situation. The tariff also increased living costs, limit exports and hurt investors as the high tariffs would make it harder for debtors to pay off loans, continuing to weaken banks.
Islam spread so quickly, because of trade, devoted followers and invasion of armies. Trade helped Islam spread quickly. According to Doc A, Mecca was prosperous and important since it was at the crossroads of caravan trade. Because Mecca was at the crossroads of trade (Islam was there) many foreigners became introduced to Islam and they expressed that idea to other people. Another way that trade spread was by devoted followers.
For any country that wants to survive in the toughest of times, they need to have good trading capabilities. Very few countries are able to sustain themselves without indulging in intensive trade with other countries. Trading has been considered a good thing in the past, but with the changing world, there are doubts about the benefits of trading. There are some factors that lead to the development of trade networks between countries. When people started to settle in larger towns, the idea that you had to produce absolutely everything for survival, began to fade.
Famous economist, David Blanchflower, argued that this bill became “the most damaging piece of trade legislation in US history.” This tariff was not signed into law until June 17, 1930, with stocks being uplifted from the 1929 height, which makes it known as a backup factor. One of the reasons why 1,028 American Economics was because the tariff would raise the cost of living. With unemployment rising, less people were able to get jobs which made it harder to earn money. Second, was that farms wouldn't be helped because, “Cotton, pork, lard, and what are export crops and sold in the world market”.
Trade has been a driving force in global history, shaping societies and economies across the world. It helped bring in many resources to other countries through cultural diffusion and opened new opportunities for citizens. Nevertheless, trading has also caused overproduction in certain areas and limited resources available. Trade has been shown in global history through Middle Eastern trade routes (Document 1), Timbuktu during the height of the Mali Empire (Document 2), and Caravans from the northern coast (Document 2). Trade had a significant impact on culture and society.
Although, many other countries were in debt and their economy was torn apart. In attempt to help their own countries, many leaders started raising tariffs or creating some. This stopped international trade across the world because it became harder to trade in
Christianity and Islam were two very different religions, both of these religions had a different belief systems and the way they lived was different due to their beliefs. But they did have some similarities, such as both being monotheistic, believing in prophets and were both found from the Jewish faith. In addition, both of these religions were very dominant and grew a lot throughout each century; have been the world’s greatest religions for hundreds of years. The religions established their own ways toward commerce and trading. Christians had their own negative beliefs as to why merchants weren’t as valuable; Muslims had positive points toward trade because Muhammad, their founder was a wealthy merchant.
Argument against Minimum Wage Claim: Raising the minimum wage could lead to bigger problems. Support: The US would lose 500,000 jobs (Congressional Budget Office report, Economist and public policy experts ) Increased consumer prices, driven by companies offsetting increased labor cost (Econo-mist and public policy experts). A possibility higher minimum wage would attract more experience workers that would stay in a low paying wage longer, which makes young people and other people with lim-ited work experience not land entry-level jobs (Economist and public policy experts).
From the article, Smoot-Hawley Tariffs, it states, “it raised the prices of imports to the point that they became unaffordable for all but the wealthy, and it dramatically decreased the amount of exported goods, thus controlling bank failures, particularly in agricultural regions.” This proves the impact tariffs have on the economy in America and how destructive it is. After all, tariffs prove to be a significant factor in leading the nation to the Great
Throughout history religious groups often had very different views towards merchants and trade from the religions origins. Between the 0 C.E and 1500 C.E, Christianity and Islam emerged as one of the world’s most influential religions and trade within the Muslim and Christian world began to flourish and be transformed .These religions spread vastly into different regions and was able to convert a lot of cultures into their religions.

Islam believed that trade should be embraced.
The Atlantic Trading System, also known as the Triangular Trade, began in 1526 and lasted from the 16th century to the 19th century. It connected three countries’ economies. It involved Africa, America, Caribbean, Europe, and the Indian Ocean. Mainly, Africans were victimized. The role of silver, European merchants and the economic and social effects of the trade changed those countries greatly.
The U.S. Supreme Court developed the “effects on interstate commerce” test to allow interstate activities. This was meant to allow anyone to be accommodated at any hotels or motels. Most commerce is considered “interstate commerce” because most guest come from other states, which made motels and hotels subject to regulations. Although, the Supreme Court ruled that it wasn’t constitutional because it discriminated against certain races. Congress regulated the interstate commerce, being that most motel businesses are from people who are coming in and out of Georgia.

CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW INFLATION (InvestorWords, 2015) stated that inflation is the increase in the general price level of goods and services in economy, normally caused by excess supply of money. Inflation usually measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). When the cost of producing goods and services goes up, the purchasing power of dollar will decrease. A customer will not be able to purchase the same goods and services as he/she previously could.
