The term "import" is derived from the conceptual meaning as to bring in the goods and services into the port of a country. The buyer of such goods and services is refered to an "importer" who is based in the country of import whereas the overseas based seller is refered to as an "exporter". Thus an import is any good (e.g. a commodity) or service brought in from one country to another country in a legitimate fashion, typically for use in trade. It is a good that is brought in from another country for sale. Import goods or services are provided to domestic consumers by foreign producers. An import in the receiving country is an export to the sending country. Imports, along with exports, form the basis of international trade. Import of goods normally requires involvement of the customs authorities in both the country of import and the country of export and are often subject to import quotas, tariffs and trade agreements. When the "imports" are the set of goods and services imported, "Imports" also means the economic value of all goods and services that are imported. The macroeconomic variable I usually stands for the value of these imports over a given period of time, usually one year. From Wikipedia under the

I assume you are studying game theory as it relates to oligopolies. You can think of equilibrium as a point that people don't have any incentive to move away from. The market could involve a low price equilibrium when both firms try to capture more market share from the other by lowering their prices. Obviously, they would eventually stop lowering their prices due to practical concerns like profitability. However, when both firms have low prices, neither has the incentive to raise prices for fear of losing market share to the other. A high price equilibrium would usually transpire with time, when both firms start realizing that price slashing to gain market share would only lead to more price slashing from the other side, and… [cont.] Answered by Stargazing - Wed Jan 3 17:18:59 2007 Can anyone give me a topic for a project of MBA International Business?
