Economic Analysis of International Competition
Evaluating the Competitiveness of Discrete Industries

Capital Trade has prepared competitive assessments of discrete industries that operate on a global stage. We have been called upon to assist in international investment decisions, such as mergers and acquisitions (including compliance with competition laws), greenfield plant location, and assessments of foreign competition. Our analysis includes identifying the relative costs of key inputs, including raw materials, energy, labor and capital. Our familiarity with international trade regulatory regimes gives us unusual insight into the impact of these oft-overlooked factors on global competitiveness. Capital Trade can model the economic and financial impact of alternative foreign direct investment incentive programs. As economists, we pay particular attention to demand factors, such as proximity to markets and transportation costs. Capital Trade can also provide companies and industries with assessments of environmental costs in different countries and regions of the world.

In our many years of experience, we have analyzed a large number of global industries, as our country case experience indicates. Our country experience covers most of the globe.
