Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the potential effects of the United States converting to the metric system, which measures the impact of metrication on international trade. The author investigates topics such as export trends, import trends, and the potential effects of metrication on U.S. foreign trade. The book also includes analyses of the potential impact of metrication on selected industries. The author's findings suggest that the United States has a favorable trade balance in measurement-standard sensitive products and that most exports of these products involve machinery and equipment. Additionally, the author finds that U.S. exporters and importers consider the measurement factor to have only slight effects on their trade, with factors such as reliability, reputation, and high quality of product being ranked as more important. The book concludes that the effects of metrication on U.S. foreign trade are complex and that a thorough understanding of the potential costs and benefits is needed before making a decision on whether or not to convert to the metric system. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
