The Brief
Part 1. Choose one nation. Find the 2021 data for that country’s balance of payments.
Please provide your conclusion of the current account, including the export and import,
comparative advantage and disadvantage, and understand its surplus or deficit.
Part 2. Recently, Vietnam has experienced changes in its export structure. Previously,
Vietnam exported more agricultural products (for example, rice). Currently, the country’s
crucial export products are electrical machinery and equipment. Based on the
comparative advantage, gravity model, and trade integration, please study the Vietnamese
export dynamics and explain this shift.
