Which one of the following has NOT been offered as a possible reason for instability in exports of less developed countries?
Select one:
1. high degree of commodity concentration of exports
2. low export demand elasticity coupled with shifting the export supply curve
3. low export supply elasticity-coupled with shifting the export demand curve
4. high export supply elasticity coupled with shifting the export supply curve
Answer - Option 1
High degree of commodity concentration of exports
This is because , from the lesser developed countries , the concentration of the goods is very less. They are not able to export enough to generate the revenue for their development.
All other are the valid reasons.
