The Production Frontier withIncreasing Costs
Increasing opportunity costs mean that the nationmust give up more and more of one commodity torelease just enough resources to produce each
additional unit of another commodity .
The marginal rate of transformation (MRT) of X forY refers to the amount of Y that a nation must giveup to produce each addit ional unit of X. since the
PPF is concave, it represents increase opportunitycost as one more down the PPF.

General and Partial Equilibrium AnalysisThere are two ways of analyzing the
Determiantion of Price in Internationaltrade:
General Equilibrium analysis (using PPFcurves to determine the production andconsumption units)
Partial Equilibrium analysis by using theDemand and Supply curves We are using relative prices (p x / p y ) in our
analysis

The Offer Curve (4.3)
Offer Curve (reciprocal demand curve) showshow much of its import commodity the nationdemands for it to be willing to supply variousamounts of its export commodity.
The Offer curve shows a nationss willingnessto import and export at different commodityprices.
The Offer Curve can also be derived from aNations PPF, its indifference maps, and thevarious hypothetical commodity prices wheretrade could take place.

The Terms of Trade (4.6)
In a world with two-nations and twocommodities situation, the Terms of Tradeof a nation is defined as:
The ratio of the price of its exportcommodity to the price of its importcommodity the relative trading prices.
(TOT) = Export Price Index / Import PriceIndex

Terms of Trade Contd
Generally with many nations and commodities,the terms of trade of a nation (commodity or netbarter terms of trade) are given by the ratio ofthe price index of its exports to the price index ofits imports multiplied by 100 to express it as apercentage.
