The document summarizes several theories of international trade:
- Free trade theory holds that countries benefit from specializing in what they have an absolute advantage in producing and trading with other countries.
- Mercantilism argued that countries should aim for a trade surplus to accumulate wealth, but views trade as zero-sum.
- Adam Smith's absolute advantage theory showed countries gain by specializing in what they produce most efficiently.
- Ricardo's comparative advantage theory demonstrated even countries without an absolute advantage gain from trade by specializing in their comparative advantage.
- Heckscher-Ohlin theory claims comparative advantage arises from differences in factor endowments like resources. It predicts trade in factor-intensive goods.
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.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

2. Free Trade
Free trade is 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.
• Trade theory shows why it is
beneficial for a country to engage in
international trade even for products
it is able to produce for itself.
3. Mercantilism
Mercantilism (mid-16th century) suggests that it
is in a country’s best interest to maintain a trade
surplus -to export more than it imports.
• At that time gold and silver were the currency of
trade between countries and country always
tries to accumulate more gold and silver to
increase its national wealth, prestige and power.
• The mercantilist doctrine advocates
government intervention to achieve a surplus in
the balance of trade.
• Mercantilism views trade as a zero-sum
game.
4. Smith’s Theory
Of Absolute Advantage
Adam Smith (1776) argued that a
country has an absolute advantage in
the production of a product when it is
more efficient than any other country
in producing it.
– countries should specialize in the
production of goods for which they
have an absolute advantage and
then trade these goods for goods
produced by other countries
5. How Does The Theory
Of Absolute Advantage Work?
• Assume that two countries, Ghana and South
Korea, both have 200 units of resources that could
either be used to produce rice or cocoa
– Ghana could produce 20 tons of cocoa and no rice or 10
tons of rice and no cocoa, or some combination of rice
and cocoa between the two extremes
– South Korea could produce 5 tons of cocoa and no rice or
20 tons of rice and no cocoa, or some combination in
between the two extremes
Cocoa (1 ton) Rice (1 ton)
Ghana 10 units resources 20 units resources
South Korea 40 units resources 10 units resources
6. How Does The Theory
Of Absolute Advantage Work?
Without Trade
With specialization
After Trade (Assume Ghana could trade 6 tons of cocoa to South Korea for 6
tons of rice)
Trade is a positive sum game
Cocoa (100 Resources) Rice (100 Resources) Total
Ghana 10 tons 5 tons 15 tons
South Korea 2.5 tons 10 tons 12.5 tons
Cocoa Rice Total
Ghana 14 tons 6 tons 20 tons
South Korea 6 tons 14 tons 20 tons
Cocoa Rice Total
Ghana 20 tons 0 ton 20 tons
South Korea 0 tons 20 tons 20 tons
7. Ricardo’s Theory
Of Comparative Advantage
• David Ricardo asked what happens when
one country has an absolute advantage
in the production of all goods
• The theory of comparative advantage
(1817) - countries should specialize in
the production of those goods they
produce most efficiently and buy goods
that they produce less efficiently from
other countries
– even if this means buying goods from
other countries that they could
produce more efficiently at home
8. How Does The Theory Of
Comparative Advantage Work?
• Assume Ghana is more efficient in the production of
both cocoa and rice than South Korea (Total amount of
resources is 200 for both of the Countries)
• So, Ghana could produce 20 tons of cocoa and no rice, 15
tons of rice and no cocoa, or some combination of the
two
• So, South Korea could produce 5 tons of cocoa and no
rice, 10 tons of rice and no cocoa, or some combination
of the two
Cocoa (1 ton) Rice (1 ton)
Ghana 10 units resources 13.5 units resources
South Korea 40 units resources 20 units resources
9. How Does The Theory Of
Comparative Advantage Work?
• Without Trade
• With Specialization
Cocoa (100 Resources) Rice (100 Resources) Total
Ghana 10 tons 7.5 tons 17.5 tons
South Korea 2.5 tons 5 tons 7.5 tons
Total 12.5 tons 12.5 tons
Cocoa Rice Total
Ghana 15 tons (150 Resources) 3.75 tons (50 Resources) 18.75 tons
South Korea 0 ton (0 Resources) 10 tons (200 Resources) 10 tons
Total 15 tons 13.75 tons
10. How Does The Theory Of
Comparative Advantage Work?
• After Trade (assume Ghana exports 4 tons of cocoa to South Korea in
exchange for 4 tons of rice)
• So If each country specializes in the production of the good in which it has a
comparative advantage and trades for the other, both countries gain
• Comparative advantage theory provides a strong rationale for encouraging
free trade as
– total output is higher than before
– both countries get benefit
• Trade is a positive sum game
Cocoa (100 Resources) Rice (100 Resources) Total
Ghana 11 tons 7.75 tons 18.75 tons
South Korea 4 tons 6 tons 10 tons
Total 15 tons 13.75 tons
11. The Heckscher-Ohlin Theory
• Eli Heckscher (1919) and Bertil Ohlin (1933) - comparative advantage arises
from differences in national factor endowments
– the extent to which a country is endowed with resources like land,
labor, and capital
• The more abundant a factor, the lower its cost
• Unlike Recardo’s theory argues that international trade pattern is
determined by differences in factor endowment rather than differences in
productivity.
• Heckscher and Ohlin predict that countries will
– export goods that make intensive use of locally abundant factors
– import goods that make intensive use of factors that are locally scarce
12. Does The Heckscher-Ohlin Theory Hold?
(The Leontief Paradox)
• Wassily Leontief (1953) theorized that since the U.S.
was relatively abundant in capital compared to other
nations, the U.S. would be an exporter of capital
intensive goods and an importer of labor-intensive
goods.
– However, he found that U.S. exports were less capital
intensive than U.S. imports
• Since this result was at variance with the predictions of
trade theory, it became known as the Leontief Paradox
• Still, tests of the Heckscher-Ohlin theory using data for a
large number of countries tend to confirm the existence
of the Leontief paradox.
13. • This leaves economists with a dilemma that they prefer the Heckscher-Ohlin theory
on theoretical grounds, but it is a relatively poor predictor of real-world
international trade patterns.
• The best solution to this dilemma may be to return to the Ricardian idea that trade
patterns are largely driven by international differences in productivity.
• A key assumption in the Heckscher-Ohlin theory is that technologies are the same
across countries but this may not be the case.
• Differences in technology may lead to differences in productivity that drive
international trade.
• Thus, once the impact of differences of technology on productivity is controlled for,
the Heckscher-Ohlin theory seems to gain predictive power.
