Macroeconomics

            Related to international trade theory, there are virtually no cost
             advantages for producing goods overseas instead of domestically. When
             producing goods domestically, producers often can utilize local content,
             component parts and packaging materials for the final assembly, thus
             reducing costs that may be imposed by tariffs associated with transport
             costs. Additionally producing goods in the domestic arena results in a
             lower labor and raw material cost. Local competition might also be greater
             than that of the international market for products produced domestically
             (CSUPOMONA, 2004). Typically manufacturers seeking out supplies know where

             to spend in a domestic market, thus increasing the potential capital that
             can be raised locally. By searching out goods internationally, consumers

             This applies to both individuals and businesses. Consumers are provided
             with additional money they can use to spend in the economy. Products are
             subsequently bought in markets and more money is circulated. Market price
             is affected by a variety of factors and will depend on many things,
             including the specific product demand by consumers intending to make
             purchases, product supply provided by suppliers and competing demand for
             other products.
            
             Inflation generally rises with an increased money supply, or at least
