Why do Nations Trade?
- Mercantilism - zero sum game - one nation gains
at the expense of the other. - Adam Smith - both nations can gain from trade.

specialise in production of the good which it is
most efficient at producing.

- Perfect Competition in Product and Factor Markets
(PMC) - Each Country has a fixed endowment of resources
that are fully used and are homogeneous - Technology is Unchanging
- No Transportation Costs or barriers to trade
- Factors of Production are perfectly mobile
between industries but are immobile between
countries - 2x2x1
25Trade Theory

Why do Nations Trade?
Absolute Advantage
- Adam Smith.
- Trade is necessary for most efficient use of
world resources. - Each nation should specialise in production of
the good in which it enjoys an absolute
advantage. - Each nations self interest would allow free
trade to maximise world welfare. - Free trade is mutually beneficial for
participating nations.
