4 Absolute Advantage – person or nation can produce more of a given product using a given amount of resources Comparative Advantage – the ability to produce a product with less opportunity cost Law of comparative advantage – a nation is better off when it produces goods and services for which it has a comparative advantage or Chapter 3 – Interdependence and the Gains from Trade

5 Output – final good or service, maximum amount that can be produced “How much is produced” Ex. China manufactured 2 million Iphones last year Input – resources "put in" to the economy that will help to produce an output; shows the number of resources required to produce a specific amount “How much is necessary to produce” Land, Labor, Capital (F.O.P.) Ex. It takes China 1 hour to produce 1 Iphone, it takes 6 workers, it takes 2 factories, etc. Output vs. Input

7 Two men live alone on an isolated island. To survive they must undertake a few basic economic activities like water carrying, fishing, cooking and shelter construction and maintenance. The first man is young, the second man is old. The younger man can gather 60 coconuts every hour, or catch 20 fish. While the older man can only gather 20 coconuts or catch 10 fish every hour.

11 Young Man has comparative advantage in collecting coconuts because he gives up less fish relative to his production of coconuts than the old man His opportunity cost for collecting coconuts is lower relative to the old man The old man has the comparative advantage in catching fish because he gives up less coconuts relative to his production of fish His opportunity cost for catching fish is lower Important Note: the only time two people/nations/firms will not trade is if there is no comparative advantage, opportunity cost is the same.

15 Determining Comparative Advantage Scenario: Canada and Mexico are considering the trade of two goods. Canada can produce 100 Furs or 100 trees. Mexico can produce 50 furs or 200 trees. Productivity Fur Trees Canada Mexico 100/100 200/50 100/100 50/200 = 1 T = 4 T = 1 F = 1/4 F It costs Canada ______ fur for every tree it produces. It costs Mexico ______ fur for every tree it produces. It costs Canada ______ tree for every fur it produces. It costs Mexico ______ tree for every fur it produces. 1 1/4 1 4 Therefore, Canada should specialize in the production of Fur, while Mexico should specialize in the production of trees 100 20050

Lebos can produce 3 Food or 9 Clothing. Productivity FoodClothing Slavia Lebos 10/10 = 1 C 9/3 = 3 C 10/10 = 1 F 3/9 = 1/3 F First, Input the data to determine who has a comparative advantage in production.

If Lebos wants to experience gains from trade then they must agree to trade ________ clothing for 1 food. 3 1/3 +1 >3 1 23 1 Food Clothing Slavia Lebos

37 Finding the Gains From Trade 1.First, graph original production possibilities 2.Then, graph the new points based on gains trade. Slavia and Lebos agree to trade at a rate of 1 food for 2 clothing (1F = 2C). Slavia produces all food (10) and trades 1 food for 2 clothing. Therefore ending up with 9 food and 2 clothing. Lebos produces all clothing (9) and trades 2 clothing to Slavia for 1 food. Therefore, Lebos ends up with 7 clothing and 1 food.

John can write 3 economics papers or 1 law paper. They need to figure out who should be the lawyer and who should be the economist. Create two graphs that summarize all the possible choices that they can produce.

39 Application Question Comparative Advantage They end up producing a total of 9 papers, 6 law papers and 3 economics papers. They decide to trade one law paper for one of economics papers; Jane ends up with 5 law papers and 1 economics paper while John can have 1 law paper and 2 economics papers Plot the new points on the respective PPFs. 5 6 Economics Papers 0 4141 1 0 3 Law Papers JaneJohn *Notice that they have broken through the constraints imposed by the scarcity of time. Both of these points lie outside the respective PPFs. John could not have written 1 law paper and 2 economics papers in a year because it takes him a year just to write the law paper. Jane could never have written 5 law papers and 1 economics papers in one year: it would have taken her 13 months to do so.*

40 Sample Free Response Question 1. The diagram above shows the production possibilities curves for two countries: Artland and Rayland. Using equal amounts of resources, Artland can produce 600 hats or 300 bicycles, whereas Rayland can produce 1,200 hats or 300 bicycles. Calculate the opportunity cost of a bicycle in Artland. If the two countries specialize and trade, which country will import bicycles? Explain. If the terms of trade are 5 hats for 1 bicycle, would trade be advantageous for each of the following? 1.Artland 2.Rayland If productivity in Artland triples, which country has the comparative advantage in the production of hats? 6 points (1 + 2 + 2 + 1) (a) 1 point: 1.One point is earned for stating that the opportunity cost of a bicycle in Artland is 600/300 = 2 hats. 2.(b) 2 points: One point is earned for stating that Rayland will import bicycles. One point is earned for any one or more of the following explanations: Rayland has a comparative advantage in hats. Rayland has a comparative disadvantage in bicycles. Rayland has a lower opportunity cost in hats or higher opportunity cost in bicycles. Artland has a comparative advantage in bicycles. Artland has a comparative disadvantage in hats. Artland has a lower opportunity cost in bicycles or a higher opportunity cost in hats. 3.(c) 2 points: One point is earned for stating that it is advantageous for Artland. One point is earned for stating that it is NOT advantageous for Rayland. 4.(d) 1 point: One point is earned for stating that Rayland has a comparative advantage in producing hats.

52 b. 2 mugs. 20 mugs. c.1/2 pot. 5 pots d.Because Angela’s productivity in pot and mug production is constant – it doesn’t depend on how many mugs or pots she is making. Therefore the opportunity cost of mugs in terms of pots is constant (and, of course, so is the opportunity cost of pots in terms of mugs).

55 f.Germany because a computer has the opportunity cost of only 1/3 ton of grain compared to 1 ton of grain in Poland. Poland because a ton of grain has the opportunity cost of only 1 computer compared to 3 computers in Germany. g.Germany should produce computers while Poland should produce grain because the opportunity cost of computers is lower in Germany and the opportunity cost of grain is lower in Poland. That is, each has a comparative advantage in those goods. h.Grain must cost less than 3 computers per ton to Germany. Computers must cost less than 1 ton of grain per computer to Poland.
