International Trade Graph
A country has a comparative advantage in a
good if it produces the good at lower
opportunity cost than other countries.
Countries can gain from trade if each exports
the goods in which it has a comparative
advantage.
Now we apply the tools of welfare economics
to see where these gains come from and
who gets them.

The World Price and Comparative Advantage
PW = the world price of a good, in world markets
PD = domestic国内 price without trade (autarky 自给自足 )
If PD < PW,
- country has (CA) in the good
- under free trade, country exports the good
If PD > PW,
- country does not have (CA)
- under free trade, country imports the good

Assumptions 假定:
1. The Small Economy Assumption
Things to define on the graph first:
Assumptions 假定:
- A small economy is a price taker in world
markets: Its actions have no effect on PW.
Not always true – especially for the U.S. And China – but makes
understanding easier without changing its lessons.
- When a small economy engages in free
trade, PW is the only relevant相应 price:
No seller would accept less than PW, since they could sell the good
for PW in world markets.
No buyer would pay more than PW, since they could buy the good
for PW in world markets.

Summary: The Welfare Effects of Trade
Whether a good is imported or exported,
trade creates winners and losers.
But the gains exceed the losses.

4.) Terms of Trade
Terms of Trade - A ratio of the indexed prices of
exports and imports in a country.
For example, if a country exports 50 dollars worth of
product in exchange for 100 dollars worth of imported
product, that country's terms of trade are 50/100 = 0.5.
If it’s over 100 – you get better price for your
exports then what you pay for imports.
If it’s under 100 – you get worse price for your
exports then you pay for imports.

5.) Arguments about International Trade
Why All the Opposition 反对 to Trade?
 The winners from trade could compensate 补偿 the losers and still be
better off. Yet, such compensation rarely occurs.
 The losses are often highly concentrated 浓 among
a small group of people, who feel them more strongly.
The gains are often spread thinly over many people, who may not see
how trade benefits them.
 Hence, the losers have more incentive to organize and lobby for
restrictions on trade. 因此,失败者有更多的动力去组织和游说,对贸易的
限制。
Easy to see losers易见的输家
Hard to see winners 很难见到赢家

5.) Arguments about International Trade
Reasons Against
- Trade destroys jobs in the

1.) Jobs
5.) Arguments about International Trade
Economists’ response:
Total unemployment does not rise as imports rise, because job
losses from imports are offset 抵销 by job gains in export
industries.
Even if all goods could be produced more cheaply abroad, the
country need only have a comparative advantage to have a
viable export industry and to gain from trade.

Difficult for govt to determine which industries will eventually be

Suppose France refuses. Then the U.S. must choose
between two bad options:
A) Restrict imports from France, which reduces welfare
in the U.S.
B) Don’t restrict imports, which reduces U.S. credibility.

Ways to control importation:
Tariffs and Quotas
- a tax on imports
Example: Cotton shirts
PW = $20
Tariff: T = $10/shirt
Consumers must pay $30 for an
imported shirt.
So, domestic producers can charge $30
per shirt.
In general, the price facing domestic
buyers & sellers equals (PW + T ).
6.) Some ways to restrict International Trade

    4.) Terms ofTrade Terms of Trade - A ratio of the indexed prices of exports and imports in a country. For example, if a country exports 50 dollars worth of product in exchange for 100 dollars worth of imported product, that country's terms of trade are 50/100 = 0.5. If it’s over 100 – you get better price for your exports then what you pay for imports. If it’s under 100 – you get worse price for your exports then you pay for imports.

    Why All theOpposition 反对 to Trade?  The winners from trade could compensate 补偿 the losers and still be better off. Yet, such compensation rarely occurs.  The losses are often highly concentrated 浓 among a small group of people, who feel them more strongly. The gains are often spread thinly over many people, who may not see how trade benefits them.  Hence, the losers have more incentive to organize and lobby for restrictions on trade. 因此,失败者有更多的动力去组织和游说,对贸易的 限制。 Easy to see losers易见的输家 Hard to see winners 很难见到赢家

Arguments about International Trade Economists’ response: Total unemployment does not rise as imports rise, because job losses from imports are offset 抵销 by job gains in export industries. Even if all goods could be produced more cheaply abroad, the country need only have a comparative advantage to have a viable export industry and to gain from trade.
