The Research Of International Trade Risks

With the economic growth and foreign trade development, international trade risk accidents in international trade have increased. These have become a big problem which obsesses most foreign trade enterprises in China. Furthermore, after China entered into WTO, our economy will be closer to the international market, our enterprises will participate in international economy and competition in a larger scale. So improving the quality in international trade should be put to first priority. And the key point is how to effectively prevent international trade risks. Guided by Marxist economic theory and related risk principles and also borrowed from some western economic theories, the concept of international trade risks is set forth. International trade risks refer to the possibilities that result from the loss due to inconsistency between actual earnings and expected earnings or actual cost and expected cost to the entities because of some unexpected changes within certain period of time in international trade. Some factors change suddenly during certain period of time, which is called international trade risk accidents. Risk accidents include the following three types: government accidents, economic accidents and fraud accidents. Accordingly, international trade risks can be divided into the following three types: government risks, marketrisks and fraud risks. This thesis contains eight chapters including introduction to the research background, objects and its significance. Beginning with the summary in international trade risks theories, it also studies in detail government risks, foreign exchange risks, price risks, contract cheating risks, transportation fraud risks, settlement fraud risks and antidumping risks. The methods to predict and evaluate international trade risks are mentioned and measures to avoid risks are set forth.
