Export Instability in Historical Perspective: Further Results
通过历史比较发现，如今发达国家在类似发展阶段也曾经历高出口价格波动，质疑了当前为发展中国家设立国际商品协议的建议。
Today's less developed countries maintain that high instability in export prices is a serious obstacle to their economic development. History shows, however, that some of today's developed countries also experienced high price instability in the international markets they served when they were at a comparable phase in the development process. Current recommendations to institute a network of international commodity agreements for the most important primary products exported by the LDCs seem beside the point in light of this evidence.
