Various forms of international economic cooperation may involve International Project Contracting, International Labor Service Cooperation and International Development Assistance, etc. In economics, factors of production are the resources employed to produce goods and services. They are generally land, labor, and capital; the three groups of resources that are used to make all goods and services.
