When a country specializes in the production of a good, this means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Because of this comparative advantage, both countries benefit when they specialize and trade with each other.

The country of "Econoland" can use its resources to produce either 500 tons of crab or 200 tons of plywood. Its rival, "Arcadonia," is able to produce either 200 tons of crab or 100 tons of plywood.From this passage, it can be concluded that Arcadonia should specialize in producing plywood. Econoland has a comparative advantage in plywood. Arcadonia has an absolute advantage in the production of both crab and plywood. Econoland should specialize in producing plywood, and trade them with Arcadonia for crabs.
Suppose that a worker in Freedonia can produce either 6 units of corn or 4 units of wheat per year, and a worker in Sylvania can produce either 4 units of corn or 6 units of wheat per year. Each nation has 10 workers. For many years the two countries traded, each completely specializing in producing the grain for which it has a comparative advantage. Now, however, war has broken out between them and all trade has stopped. Without trade, Freedonia produces and consumes 30 units of corn and 20 units of wheat per year. Sylvania produces and consumes 20 units of corn and 30 units of wheat. By how much has the combined yearly output of the two countries declined?
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 Candonia and Lamponia. Both countries produce potatoes and sugar, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 24 million pounds of potatoes and 12 million pounds of sugar, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A. * FIRST PICTURE HERE Candonia has a comparative advantage in the production of , while Lamponia has a comparative advantage in the production of .
