International Trade Simulation"International trade is the exchange of goods and services between countries." (Heakal, 2007). International trade is helpful to the economy. The trade allows countries to exchange goods in order to have an assorted supply for the residents. The trade brings in supply which creates more demand and the economy grows.
The international trade simulation shows the reasons for the international trade. The purpose of the simulation is to make decisions and study the outcomes. This is a three part simulation. The first part is to decide which countries to trade with. The second part is to decide which goods will be exported or imported. Finally the decision will be made on whether or not to impose trade restrictions.
Advantages and Limitations of International TradeInternational trade has both advantages and limitations. An International trade advantage is that a country's wealth potential can be maximized. Supply and demand can increase.

International trade can have limitations. When the country imports more that the country exports an imbalance will occur. The country may have an excess in supply because the export rate is low. A limitation may be created through trade restrictions.
Summary of SimulationIn the first scenario a determination needs to be made on whether or not opportunities are present for trade with the neighboring countries which are Alfazia, Uthania and Suntize. If an opportunity is present then a determination must be made as to what the composition of the trade will be. The commodities encouraged for export in this scenario were cheese and DVD players. The imports encouraged into Rodamia were corn from Uthania and watches from Suntize.
On the first scenario the results of the simulation showed that the product to which export incentives needed to be given were properly identified.
