Abstract:

Within the "Enterprise" university subject, where the basic pillars of the reality of companies and the environment in which they carry out their business activity are learned, a game is proposed through which students can (as natural learning) evaluate how develop international trade relations between countries.

The first objective is to check how the different level of resources with which each country starts the game (depending on whether it is a "Developed", an "Underdeveloped", or a "Developing" country) influences the result of commercial exchanges. This result is measured by the final capital wealth of each country (after commercial exchanges and the corresponding production processes).

The second objective is, seeing how international trade is marked by these differences, and attending to the criterion of "Guarantee equal opportunities and reduce inequality of results, including eliminating discriminatory laws, policies and practices, and promoting legislation, policies and adequate measures in this regard ", which is established as one of the priorities of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), ask students to propose and debate political initiatives and good practices to reduce these inequalities and promote fair trade between countries.

After carrying out the exercise it is shown that, to achieve equity in productive and commercial relations between countries at an international level, it is necessary to introduce accelerators and tricks to overcome market inefficiencies. Among all the instruments that are proposed to overcome inequalities between countries, two of them stand out for their impact: development cooperation, and the provision of privileged information to the most disadvantaged countries, key instruments so that the less powerful countries can compete with certain guarantees.
