Answer to Question 1

Export pessimism refers to the idea that the relative price of primary commodities will fall over time. Economic theory holds that as incomes rise, people spend a smaller share of their overall income on foodstuffs and other raw-material-based goods such as textiles and apparel, and they spend more on manufactured items. Consequently, the demand for raw materials declines in relation to the demand for manufactured goods.

Answer to Question 2

A
