Among those studies Shan and Sun (1997) and Shan and Wilson (2001) have used econometric techniques within a Chinese context, the latter finding evidence of a re-iterative effect between tourism and trade (imports and exports) as both feed into each other. While
Good writers can be found all over the world. Reading literature from other countries is important as it allows students to develop a greater understanding of the world. While international literature is important, Canadian students should prioritize literature native to their country; as this allows students to become familiar with the local literature.
