Under the Hecksher-Ohlin theory of comparative advantage, China has a comparative advantage in textile production because: 1. the U.S. is unwilling to apply trade sanctions in reprisal for China's human rights abuses 2. it cannot manufacture high tech products 3. it has superior textile production technology 4. textiles are labor-intensive products and China is labor-abundant 5. China is capable of producing higher quality textiles than other countries
Trade Theories, a Historical Approach Free trade refers to a situation where a government does not attempt to influence through quotas or duties what its citizens can buy from another country, or what they can produce and sell to another country. The economic arguments surrounding the benefits and costs of free trade in goods and services are not abstract academic ones. International trade theory has shaped the economic policy of many nations for the past 50 years. The textbook reviews...
4. Specialization and trade When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFs) for Maldonia and Sylvania. Both countries produce grain and tea, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 24 million pounds of...
Suppose a country with two types of workers, high skilled and low skilled, has a comparative advantage in biotechnology and a comparative disadvantage in shoes. Under the Stolper-Samuelson theorem, which predicts increasing inequality due to international trade, expansion of trade will result in: 1. the fall in the real wage rate of both skilled and unskilled labor 2. the fall in the real wage rate of skilled and unskilled labor in the shoe industry 3. the rise in the real...

Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFs) for Freedonia and Sylvania.
