Choose your HOME country as a case study (e.g., if you are from Vietnam,
the Home country is Vietnam).
Analyze the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and trade tensions (such as
between the US and China, and between Australia and China) on the Home
country’s trade balance.
A good analysis should include, and take into account:
(i) The country’s overall trade picture in the past one or two decades.
(ii) Which trade models can be used to explain for the trade pattern of your country
with its top 5 or 10 trade partners (you may want to separate top export
destinations and top import destinations)?
(iii) Graphs, charts, or figures (make sure you provide sources).
(iv) Challenges as well as opportunities from the US-China or Australia-China trade
tensions.
(v) The Covid-19 pandemic and the country’s responses, and possible recovery
paths. How all of these may improve or worsen the country’s trade position
(vi) And, of course, you may consider any other factors.
