Abstract

Die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung und der Wohlstand der Gesellschaft sind eng mit dem Handel und Außenhandel verknüpft. Dies trifft auf ein kleines Land wie Österreich in besonderem Maße zu. Wie wichtig der Außenhandel für die österreichische Wirtschaft, für die Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen und für die Teilhabe weiter Teile der Gesellschaft an Wohlstand und Lebensqualität ist, wird in diesem Bericht vorgestellt. Die daran geknüpften Herausforderungen werden ebenfalls benannt und leiten über zu den Themen, die in der Mainstream-Ökonomie wenig beachtet werden, viele Menschen aber stark bewegen. Dazu zählen Fragen wie, ob Handel nicht per Saldo mehr Arbeitsplätze vernichtet oder zur Senkung von Standards der Qualität der Arbeitsplätze, der Lebensmittel oder der Umwelt beiträgt. Der Güterhandel ist über weite Strecken mit negativen Umwelteffekten verbunden. Wie hoch sie sind, ist zwar nicht allgemein bekannt, wird in der ökonomischen Literatur aber breit diskutiert. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden die Befunde der Literatur zu diesen Themen zusammengetragen, gesichtet und im Hinblick auf eine Außenhandelsstrategie hin bewertet.
