The current crisis in international lending points up a lesson re-learned several times in the past 150 years: the international loan markets function very differently from the textbook model of competitive lending. This paper discusses various extensions of the basic model. First, we amend the textbook model to show how limitations on a government's taxing authority may greatly affect its optimal borrowing strategy. Second, we explore the implications of adebtor country's option to repudiate debt. Third, we show that efficient lending may require collective actions by bank syndicates, and that a breakdown in collective action can result in serious inefficiencies and even financial panics.

"An experiential exercise designed to teach retailing students international buying skills is described. Increased foreign buying activities make it important for educators to integrate international buying strategies into the curriculum. Student teams represented one of four retail firms and bought merchandise from other students posing as foreign manufacturers. Each team completed market research to determine the economic, political, and cultural climate of a foreign country as well as business customs that might affect negotiation. A situation analysis of the retail firm was also conducted. Buying decisions were made regarding open- tobuy, pricing, shipping, delivery, method of payment, and stock assortment. Teams negotiated with representatives of foreign manufacturing firms to achieve predetermined buying goals. "

The International Tin Council (ITC) has, by setting up a "Preparatory Committee", once more given the starting signal for the preparation of a new International Tin Agreement (ITA). The intention is that the new agreement should take over from the current 6th ITA when it expires on 30th June, 1987. Presently the Agreement is facing a difficult situation. The apparent equilibrium between demand and supply since the beginning of 1985 remains unstable and some producer countries are urging their governments to leave the ITA. How could this situation come about? How can the problems be solved? *** DIRECT SUPPORT *** A02GP040 00007

The structural changes in the world economy have made themselves increasingly felt in the Federal Republic of Germany over the past few years. For the first time since 1965 there is again a current account deficit, since merchandise trade is no longer able, due to the worsened terms of trade, to finance the traditional deficits on services and transfers. What policy should the Federal Government follow in order to help German industry adjust to these changes?

International audience ; The establishment of an International Disarmament Fund for Development is not a new idea, but the participation of the major military and economic powers in such a treaty is a prerequisite for its installation. There are three supplementary main problems. Can a reduction in military expenditure really promoter the development of poorest countries? Will international transfers of resources substantially increase the development potential of third world countries? What is the effectiveness of this International Disarmament Fund for Development? ; La création d'un Fonds international de désarmement pour le développement n'est pas une idée nouvelle, mais la participation des grandes puissances militaires et économiques à un tel traité est une condition préalable à sa mise en place. Il existe trois problèmes principaux supplémentaires. Une réduction des dépenses militaires peut-elle réellement favoriser le développement des pays les plus pauvres ? Les transferts internationaux de ressources augmenteront-ils considérablement le potentiel de développement des pays du tiers monde ? Quelle est l'efficacité de ce Fonds international de désarmement pour le développement ?
