Notes –Comparative v. AbsoluteSSEIN1a- Define and compare
absolute and comparative advantageSSEIN1b-Explain that most trade
takes place b/c of comparative advantage
What is trade?Trade is the voluntary exchange of
goods and services.
Voluntary ExchangePeople only exchange goods and
services when it benefits them OR marginal benefits outweigh marginal costs
When costs are greater than the benefits people stop tradingBoth parties
gain!
Exports and ImportsExport: Goods that
a nation sells to other countries
Import: goods that a nation buys from other nations
Net Exports: (x-m)Exports-imports
Types of advantagesComparative Advantage
Absolute advantage
Producing a good because you have a lower opportunity cost.
You can produce a good with fewer resources than another country.
This means you can produce more goods and services more efficiently than another country.
Comparative AdvantageComparative advantage allows
countries to specialize. It is what we use to decide who
should produce products and who they should trade with.
Benefits of TradeBenefits
1. Increase in
competition
2. Increases the variety of goods
and services
3. Spreads knowledge
and education
4. Spreads new
technologies and
production methods
When countries specialize and trade it leads to an increase in the supply and variety of goods and services available
to consumers.
It is the difference between the exchange of exports and imports for a country
Exports - Imports= Balance of Trade
Balance of Trade
Favorable balance
Exports > Imports
Unfavorable Balance
Imports > Exports
Balance of Payments: the difference between money a country pays for exports receives for imports
In other words, it is a record of all transactions that occur because of trade.
Balance of Payments
Trade Deficit (negative trade balance): occurs when a country pays more for imports that it makes on exports
Trade Surplus (positive trade balance): occurs when a country earn more on exports than it pays for imports
Trade Values
