Adam Smith is considered the founder of trade theory for proposing the theory of absolute cost advantage to explain the basis of foreign trade. His idea that countries will specialize in producing goods they have an absolute advantage in was an early pioneering study of how economies of scale can influence trade patterns. Smith's concepts like the division of labor and inventions by workers still have undeniable influence on trade theory today. The theory posits that two countries will trade if one can produce a good with absolutely lower costs than the other, and will each specialize in producing the good they have this advantage in order to increase total output.

Weber least cost location theory
The Weber model of industrial location uses transportation costs to predict where industries will locate. It assumes firms face no risks and have identical production costs everywhere. Raw materials can be ubiquitous and found everywhere or localized in certain areas.
Weber developed diagrams to show least cost locations. A straight line diagram shows the location when one raw material is localized and one is ubiquitous. A triangular diagram shows when two raw materials are localized. Isotims represent lines of equal transportation costs, while isodapanes connect points of equal total transportation costs to determine the overall least cost location. Agglomeration economies, or savings from locating near other firms, are also considered.
Weber theory
This document summarizes Weber's theory of industrial location, which proposes that firms will seek to locate production in areas with the lowest costs. Weber identified three main cost factors that influence a firm's location decision: transport costs, labor costs, and agglomeration economies. Transport costs depend on the weight and distance of goods transported as well as the type of commodity. Labor costs can vary based on wage rates and efficiency levels between locations. Agglomeration refers to cost advantages from concentrating similar industries together. The theory has been criticized for oversimplifying factors like transport costs and assuming fixed labor and market locations.

Theories Of Industrial Location
There are four main theories of industrial location:
1) Weber's (1909) least cost theory, which states that industries locate where transportation costs of raw materials and finished products are minimized. This depends on whether the industry is weight gaining or weight losing.
2) Hotelling's (1929) theory of locational interdependence, which examines how demand impacts location as competitors try to capture market share in their locations.
3) Losch's (1939) theory of demand-oriented location, which focused on maximizing access to markets for finished goods.
4) Smith and Pred's (1971) profit-maximization theory examining how firms locate based on profit considerations.

Mills theory of reciprocal demand
J.S. Mill developed Ricardo's theory of comparative costs by introducing the concept of reciprocal demand. Reciprocal demand refers to the intensity of demand one country has for another country's exports. Mill argued that terms of trade are determined by the relative strength and elasticity of reciprocal demand between countries, as represented by their offer curves. While pioneering, Mill's theory makes unrealistic assumptions and neglects supply-side factors, leading some economists to criticize it as an imperfect framework for analyzing international trade.
Weberian model
The document summarizes Alfred Weber's locational theory model, known as the Weberian model or the least cost approach. The key points are:
1. The Weberian model explains the optimal location of industrial facilities using the locational triangle. Transportation is the most important element of the model.
2. Solving the Weber model involves three stages - finding the least transport cost location, adjusting for labor costs, and adjusting further for agglomeration economies.
3. Transportation cost is the primary factor in determining optimal location, according to the model. Labor costs and agglomeration economies are secondary adjustment factors.
Economic theory of industrial location
the major theories of industrial location were developed by the economists. some of them which we consider pioneering and useful in understanding the locational behaviour of firm are explained here.
Two major theories namely :(1) Weber's Theory. (2) The market area theory of Tord Palander.

Ricardian model
The document discusses the Ricardian model of trade, which is based on technological differences between countries that lead to different marginal rates of transformation (MRTs). It uses the example of two countries, H and F, that produce two goods, wine and cheese. Country H has a comparative advantage in cheese while Country F has a comparative advantage in wine due to their different MRTs. The model shows that both countries can benefit from specializing in their comparative good and trading, resulting in higher overall output and consumption compared to a scenario without trade.
Industrial location
The document discusses different types of industry and factors that influence industrial location. It covers primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary industries. Key factors in industrial location include availability of raw materials, labor supply, markets, transportation access, capital, energy sources, and government policies. Location theories aim to maximize profits and minimize costs by considering these various economic and transportation factors. Theories discussed include Weber's least-cost model and the concept of agglomeration economies.

The role of road freight sector in australia
Road freight transports over 70% of domestic freight in Australia and is vital for the distribution of goods between producers, retailers, and consumers across the large country. It supports Australia's national economy by connecting different regions. Road is the dominant form of freight transport in Australia. The freight industry contributes significantly to Australia's economy, adding over $18 billion and employing over 180,000 people. The road freight sector will face increasing challenges to meet the expected doubling of freight tasks by 2030 and tripling by 2050.

Topic modeling techniques can be applied to historical newspapers from the Spanish transition period (1977-1982) despite degraded texts from scanning and optical character recognition. Comparing topics extracted from the digitized ABC newspaper, which used scanning, to topics from the manually transcribed El País newspaper, most topics were the same though some terms differed. Both newspapers showed similar trends in topic intensity over time, though a few diverged possibly due to ideological differences between the papers. Topic modeling can work on noisy text using full pages as the analysis unit instead of individual news stories.Terms of trades
Terms of trade (TOT) is defined as the ratio of average export prices to average import prices. For example, if one unit of rice is exchanged for 2 units of sugar, the terms of trade are 1 unit of rice to 2 units of sugar, or 1:2. The terms of trade index is calculated as the index of export prices divided by the index of import prices, multiplied by 100.
There are several types of terms of trade. Net barter TOT is the ratio of export prices to import prices. Gross barter TOT is the ratio of the physical quantity of imports to exports. Income TOT is net barter TOT multiplied by the quantity of exports. Factors like tariffs,
Chapter 2 Theories Of International Trade
The document discusses various theories of international trade and barriers to trade. It describes theories such as absolute advantage, comparative advantage, Heckscher-Ohlin model, imitation gap theory, and international product life cycle theory. It also discusses tariff and non-tariff barriers that governments use to discourage imports such as import quotas, embargoes, subsidies, and technical standards. Comparative advantage theory holds that countries can benefit from trade even if one has an absolute advantage in all goods, as long as opportunity costs differ between countries.
International Trade Theories
The document discusses several theories of international trade. It begins by explaining mercantilism, which held that countries should maintain a trade surplus. It then explains Adam Smith's theory of absolute advantage, which argues that countries should specialize in what they can produce most efficiently. David Ricardo further developed this with his theory of comparative advantage, which showed that even if one country is more efficient in all products, both can still benefit from trade by focusing on their comparative advantages. The theories aim to achieve efficient allocation of global resources and maximize production at lowest cost through international specialization and trade.

1) Classical theories of international trade proposed by Adam Smith and David Ricardo argue that countries benefit from specializing in goods where they have a comparative advantage and from trading.
2) Ricardo's theory of comparative advantage showed that trade can benefit countries even if one country has an absolute advantage in all goods, by specializing in the good where the opportunity cost is lowest.
3) John Stuart Mill extended Ricardo's theory by explaining how reciprocal demand between countries determines the actual terms of trade that emerge from specialization and trade. The terms of trade will stabilize where the value of each country's exports equals the value of its imports.

- Mercantilism was an economic theory dominant in Europe from the 16th to 18th centuries that promoted governmental regulation of the economy to increase state power and accumulate monetary reserves through positive trade balances. It led to war and colonial expansion.
- Adam Smith criticized mercantilism and argued that free trade allowing specialization according to absolute advantage would benefit all nations through increased global production. Absolute advantage refers to the ability to produce a good using fewer resources.
- Comparative advantage built on this and holds that nations should specialize and trade based on lower opportunity costs rather than absolute efficiency differences. Ricardo showed how this allows all parties to gain through trade even if one nation has an absolute advantage in all goods.
RICARDO-1.ppt it tells information theory
1) Adam Smith introduced the concept of absolute advantage, where countries should trade based on which goods they can produce more efficiently.
2) David Ricardo later developed the theory of comparative advantage, showing that even if one country is less efficient overall, both countries can still benefit from trade by each specializing in what they have a comparative rather than absolute advantage in producing.
3) Ricardo's theory assumes two countries and two goods, constant costs, and labor as the only factor of production. It demonstrates that when countries specialize according to their comparative advantages, global production is maximized.
RICARDO-1 (1).ppt
Adam Smith first proposed that absolute advantage in production provides the basis for mutually beneficial trade. David Ricardo later refined this to show that comparative advantage, not absolute advantage, is the key - a country should specialize in what it can produce relatively more efficiently. Empirical studies have supported Ricardo's theory, finding nations export more of goods where they have lower relative production costs. While useful, Ricardo's model does not fully explain differences in productivity or trade's impact on factor incomes.
Theory of absolute and comparative advantage
This document summarizes key economic concepts from a class presentation, including theories of trade, specialization, opportunity cost, and the contributions of Adam Smith and David Ricardo. It explains that according to Adam Smith, trade arises from humans' innate desire to barter and exchange goods. Specialization refers to countries focusing production on goods they have advantages in. Opportunity cost is what is given up when making an economic choice. Both Smith and Ricardo supported free trade based on absolute and comparative advantage over mercantilism.

Law of Comparative Advantage by Dominick Salvatore
The document discusses the theories of absolute advantage, comparative advantage, and gains from trade. It explains that according to absolute advantage, nations should trade when one has an advantage in producing one good over another. Comparative advantage expands this to say that even if a nation is worse at producing both goods, it should still specialize in the good where its disadvantage is smallest. This allows both nations to increase total production and consumption through specialization and trade. Diagrams of production possibility frontiers are used to illustrate how gains from trade arise from specialization enabled by comparative advantage.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

Cost advantage theory
- 1. Theory of Absolute Cost Advantage Adam Smith is generally ignored as a trade theorist in text books of international economics because of the common belief that he only confirmed the rule of absolute advantages to explain the structure of foreign trade. However, his vent-for-surplus approach may be interpreted as a pioneering study which stresses the importance of economies of scale in explaining the structure of trade. Economists recognize the undeniable influence of Smith’s concepts such as “extent of the market”, “division of labor”, “improved dexterity in every particular workman”, and “simple inventions coming from workman” on trade theory. Adam Smith propounded the theory of absolute cost advantage as the basis of foreign trade; under such circumstances an exchange of goods will take place only if each of the two countries can produce one commodity at an absolutely lower production cost than the other country. Suppose, there are two countries I & II and two commodities A and B. For example, country can produce a unit of commodity (A) with 10 and a unit of commodity (B) with 20 labor units, and that in country II, the production of a unit of (A) costs 20 and a unit of (15) 10 labor units. Now country I has absolute cost advantage in tin- production of (A) and it will confine itself to the production of (A) and country II in the production of (B). Exactly the same would happen if I and II were two regions of one country. We speak of an absolute- differences in costs because each country can produce one commodity at an absolutely lower cost them the other. Thus, in such a situation, a division of labor between them must lead to an increase in total output.
