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.
