2、HE GAINS FROM TRADEu牧场主和农场主贸易的好处来自：牧场主养牛，农场主种土豆。牧场主既养牛也种土豆，但土地不太肥沃；农场主既种土豆也养牛，但养牛的技术比较差。u如果牧场主或是农场主无论种土豆还是养牛都比另一个强的话，贸易的好处还在吗?INTERDEPENDENCE AND THE GAINS FROM TRADEMinutes Needed to Make 1 Minutes Needed to Make 1 Ounce of:Ounce of:Amount Produced in 8 HoursAmount Produced in 8 HoursMeatPotatoesMe

4、 because we are assuming that there is no trade.We will assume that the farmer and rancher divide their time equally between raising cattle and growing potatoes.PRODUCTION POSSIBILITIESSELF-SUFFICIENCYuThe farmer produces(and consumes)at point A16 ounces of potatoes and 4 ounces of meat.uThe rancher

5、 produces(and consumes)at point B24 ounces of potatoes and 12 ounces of meat.SPECIALIZATION AND TRADEuSuppose the rancher suggests that the farmer specialize in the production of potatoes and then trade with the rancher for meat.a.The rancher will spend 6 hours a day producing meat(18 ounces)and 2 h

6、ours a week growing potatoes(12 ounces).b.The farmer will spend 8 hours a day growing potatoes(32 ounces).c.The rancher will trade 5 ounces of meat for 15 ounces of potatoes.SPECIALIZATION AND TRADEuEnd results:a.The rancher produces 18 ounces of meat and trades 5 leaving him with 13 ounces of meat.

7、He also grows 12 ounces of potatoes and receives 15 ounces in the trade,leaving him with 27 ounces of potatoes.b.The farmer produces 32 ounces of potatoes and trades 15 leaving him with 17 ounces.He also receives 5 ounces of meat in the trade with the rancher.uIn both cases,they are able to consume

17、MPARATIVE ADVANTAGE AND TRADEuComparative advantage and differences in Comparative advantage and differences in opportunity costs opportunity costs are the basis for specialized production and trade.uWhenever potential trading parties have differences in opportunity costs,they can each benefit from

18、trade.uTrade can benefit everyone in a society because it allows people to specialize in activities in which they have a comparative advantage.COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE AND TRADEuHow to determine the price of trading?The rancher buys 15 ounces of potatoes for 5 ounces of meat.The price of each ounce of

19、potatoes is 1/3 ounce of meat.This is lower than the ranchers opportunity cost of ounce of meat and is therefore beneficial to the rancher.The farmer buys 5 ounces of meat with 15 ounces of potatoes.This implies that the price of each ounce of meat is 3 ounces of potatoes,which is lower than the far

20、mers opportunity cost of 4 ounces of potatoes.Thus,trade also benefits the farmer.uWhat if the price of meat is not in between 2oz and 4oz of potatoes?THE LEGACY OF ADAM SMITH AND DAVID RICARDOuAdam Smith In his 1776 book An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations,Adam Smith perf
