Abstract

Between 1950 and 1999 total world trade has risen by a factor of 14 (Nordström and Vaughan, 1999). The major drivers of world trade expansion are:

  • Population growth. World population has increased from 2.5 billion in 1950 to 6 billion in 2000.

  • Real GDP growth. During the last 50 years real GDP has risen by a factor of six.

  • Globalisation. World integration has proceeded considerably during this period, mainly due to the reduction in trade barriers, and transportation and communication costs.
