5、Demandn1.7 Offer Curve and Terms of Trade1.2 Trade Based on Absolute Advantage:Adam SmithnWith free trade,countries could concentrate their production on the goods they could produce most cheaply and enjoy all the consequent benefits from the labor division.uCost differences govern the international

6、 movement of goods.The concept of cost is founded upon the labor theory of value.nTwo assumptions,within each country:uLabor is the only factor of production and is homogeneous(i.e.of one quality).uThe cost or price of a good depends exclusively upon the amount of labor required to produce it.1.2 Tr

7、ade Based on Absolute Advantage:Adam SmithnAn arithmetic example uThe U.S.has an absolute advantage in iPad production;its iPad workers productivity(output per worker hour)is higher than that of the U.K,which leads to lower costs(less labor required to produce a set of iPad).uIn like manner,the U.K

10、RicardonMutually beneficial trade can occur even when one country is absolutely more efficient in the production of all goods.uThe more efficient country should specialize in and export that good in which it is relatively more efficient(where its absolute advantage is bigger).uThe less efficient cou

11、ntry should specialize in and export the good in which it is relatively less inefficient(where its absolute disadvantage is smaller).uAssumptions of a simplified model l There are only two countries with a fixed level of technology in the world;lEach country owns only one input labor,which is fixed

12、endowed and homogenous and can move across industries but cannot flow across countries;l Each country produces two commodities;l Perfect competition and free trade prevail in markets.1.3 Trade Based on Comparative Advantage:David RicardonAn Example of Comparative AdvantageuThe U.S.labor has a 5-to-1

13、 absolute advantage in the production of iPads.The U.S.labor also has a 3-to-1 absolute advantage in the production of cloth.The U.S.has a greater absolute advantage in producing iPads than in producing cloth.uChina has an absolute disadvantage in the production of iPads and cloth.However,Chinas abs

14、olute disadvantage is smaller in producing cloth than in producing iPads.1.3 Trade Based on Comparative Advantage:David RicardoA Case of Comparative AdvantageCountryOutput per labor houriPadsClothRelative costU.S.5 sets15 yards1 iPad=3 yards of clothChina1 set5 yards1 iPad=5 yards of clothnGains fro

15、m Specialization and Trade with Comparative Advantage uAs the U.S.transfers 1 worker from cloth production to iPad production,its output of iPads increases by 5 and cloth production falls by 15 yards.uAs China transfers 3 workers from iPad production to cloth production,its cloth production increase

16、s by 15 yards and iPad production falls by 3.uThe gain from production and trade is the increase in the world output that results from each country specializing in its production according to its comparative advantage.1.3 Trade Based on Comparative Advantage:David RicardoThe Change in the World Outp

18、fectly competitive markets,Chinas selling price of cloth is lower than its U.S.selling price,and China exports cloth to the U.S.uEven though China is not as efficient as the U.S.in the production of cloth,its lower wage rate in terms of dollars more than compensates for its inefficiency.1.3 Trade Ba

25、inal rate of transformation(MRT),which shows the amount of one product a country must sacrifice to get one additional unit of the other product.uWithout specialization and trade,the U.S.and China can produce and consume at any point along their respective production possibilities frontiers.1.4 Compa

33、uantity of imports per unit of exports.A change in a countrys terms of trade may reflect a change in either international or domestic economic conditions.When the terms of trade change as a result of a change in domestic economic conditions,the effect on the countrys welfare is uncertain.1.4 Compara

34、tive Advantage and Opportunity CostuComplete Specialization l Each country specializes completely in the production of the good in which it has a comparative advantage and imports the other good.lComplete specialization occurs because as production expands in the industry with a comparative advantag

35、e,the domestic cost of producing the product does not rise.Constant costs are assumed to prevail over the entire range of production.1.4 Comparative Advantage and Opportunity CostlThe firms cost curves and the products supply curves are horizontal.Supply Curves of a Good and the PPF 1.4 Comparative

37、point.u A country has increasing opportunity costs.lthe tangent FG is steeper than DE.uTwo reasons:lthe factors of production used to produce the products are specialized in the production of a particular product.lthe premise that all resources are identical in the sense that all workers and capital

38、 have the same productivity in the production of both commodities is unrealistic.1.4 Comparative Advantage and Opportunity CostuProduction and Consumption without Specialization and Trade lWithout specialization and trade,the U.S.and China can produce and consume at any point on their PPF.uProductio

40、enables both countries to become better off by consuming beyond their respective PPFs.uProduction under increasing cost conditions constitutes a mechanism that forces prices to converge and results in neither country specializing completely in the production of the good in which it has a comparative

41、 advantage.u In the case of increasing costs,both countries continue to produce both goods after trade and it is called as partial specialization.1.4 Comparative Advantage and Opportunity CostChapter 1 Classical Theories of International Traden1.1 Mercantilismn1.2 Trade Based on Absolute Advantage:A
