Venetian explorer, Marco Polo, told his cellmate during his imprisonment after the Venetian-Genoese War about his travels to the Far East. These accounts became a book , later entitled "The Travels of Marco Polo" which was influential in sparking people's curiosity of the East.
The first impact was that Marco Polo was able to bring elements of Western culture to the East and Eastern culture back to the West. Because of his exploration Indonesia, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, and India, China began to experience Western culture.
Next, Marco Polo's interactions with Mongolian emperor Kublai Khan led to commercial exchange with Western merchants who were now arriving in China. This increased Chinese's growth as a civilization.
The Silk Road, an easier route to travel around the Gobi Desert, traced by the Polos had a huge effect in the future of European and Chinese interaction. It would prove to be a more effective route than to sail the oceans to China.
Answer:Economists have had an enormous impact on trade policy, and they provide a strong rationale for free trade and for removal of trade barriers. Although the objective of a trade agreement is to liberalize trade, the actual provisions are heavily shaped by domestic and international political realities. The world has changed enormously from the time when David Ricardo proposed the law of comparative advantage, and in recent decades economists have modified their theories to account for trade in factors of production, such as capital and labor, the growth of supply chains that today dominate much of world trade, and the success of mercantilist countries in achieving rapid growth.

I believe the answer is: STJs (Situational Judgement Tests)
Situational judgement test would provide the test taker with realistic but hypothetical scenarios that might be encountered in their line of work.
The result of this test could be used by companies to determine which candidates have the right mindset to provide effective result for the company.
The Reformation triggered major consequences, such as:
-the Thirty Years' War between Catholics and Protestants that ended with the Treaty of Westphalia (1648), which forced Catholic nations to recognize the existence of Protestant states.
-the formalisation of the break with Rome, turning the Head of the English Crown, Henry VIII, as the Supreme Head of the now independent Church of England. Therefore, he was not subject to the Pope’s jurisdiction.
-the exposition of profound corruption in the Church’s leadership and the dissolution of the monasteries, to put an end to alleged corrupt practices.
-the Bible being more accessible to lay people: until the Reformation, the only Bible available to the Western Church was the Latin Vulgate. This was restricting to Catholics and contradictory to Luther’s hope that people “might seize and taste the clear, pure Word of God itself.”
- the Roman Catholic Church’s own reform, or Counter-Reformation, aimed at renewing and improving traditional structures of the church.
