Ethics in international trade are important where purchasing, exports, marketing and sales activities are more likely to involve unethical behaviors, such as bribery and corruption. The focus of this paper regards similarities and differences in ethical behaviors between trade dyads (an importing and an exporting country). Do variations in perceived ethics among the protagonists help or hinder bilateral trade? As a determinant of bilateral trade, the ethicality of importers matters more than exporters.Text1 digital file (26 p.)application/pdfenBILATERAL TRADE AGREEMENTSETHICSIMPORT PROCEDURESVALUE SYSTEMSTRADE FACILITATIONMATHEMATICAL MODELSCORRUPTIONTRADE BARRIERSBRIBERYSynthesis Report
