The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is a trade agreement between the United States, Canada, and Mexico whose purpose is to eliminate tariffs between the countries and promote all aspects of international trade.

There are many arguments for and against the treaty. One of the arguments against centers on the fact that Mexican industries do not have to meet the same environmental regulations as industries in the United States and Canada. The U.S. and Canada have intervened in the marketplace and tried to internalize some of the costs of pollution by placing regulations on the amount of pollutants that industries can emit.

Opponents of NAFTA point out that pollution is largely a free good in Mexico, and that being free to pollute gives industries in Mexico an economic advantage over those in the U.S. and Canada. Is there anything in what we have studied, particularly in Chapter 14, that can point us towards an equitable solution to this problem while still protecting the environment we all share? What is that solution?

Conventional thinking in product development has been that innovation starts in advanced
developed countries like the United States and Japan. Products marketed in
countries where the average income is much lower often are older models of U.S. products
or used but still serviceable equipment. Several U.S. multinational companies have
established R&D labs in India and China. Originally this was to take advantage of the
large number of well-educated engineers who could be employed at salaries much lower
than the going U.S. rate, but soon it was found that these engineers were adept at developing
products for sale to the mass markets in these local countries. Typically these are
products with somewhat reduced functionality, but they still are useful quality products.
Now these U.S. companies are beginning to market these products in the United States
as a low-cost product line that is attractive to a new low-end market segment.
Search the business literature for examples of this new approach to trickle-up product
innovation. Discuss advantages of this new approach to product development and discuss
possible risks.
