Adam Smith – The Wealth of Nations
• The beginning of classical school of economics
• Economic growth depended upon specialization and the division of labor
• Advocate free trade
• Do not oppose to restrictions imposed by small states, or exceptions
![Page 17: Chapter 2 - Trade Theories and the Gain From Trade S1.1314](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051502/577ccd2b1a28ab9e788bafc6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Adam Smith – The Wealth of Nations
• Productivities of labor inputs:
– Natural advantages: Climate, soil, mineral wealth
– Acquired advantages: Special skills and techniques
![Page 18: Chapter 2 - Trade Theories and the Gain From Trade S1.1314](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051502/577ccd2b1a28ab9e788bafc6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Adam Smith – Absolute Advantage
• Assumptions:
– Factor of production: Labor
– Homogeneous goods, prices depend on labor required
– 2 goods, 2 countries
![Page 19: Chapter 2 - Trade Theories and the Gain From Trade S1.1314](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051502/577ccd2b1a28ab9e788bafc6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Adam Smith – Absolute Advantage
• The Wealth of Nations and economic thought:
– Absolute advantage:
•Principle:
– When one nation has an absolute cost advantage that is, uses less labor to produce a unit of output) in one good and the other nation has an absolute cost advantage in the other good, international specialization and trade will be beneficial

The Ricardian Model
![Page 25: Chapter 2 - Trade Theories and the Gain From Trade S1.1314](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051502/577ccd2b1a28ab9e788bafc6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
David Ricardo’s economic thought
• Reinforce the case for free trade
• International trade was first applied in the field of political economy
• Explain the pattern of international specialization and trade based on comparative advantage
![Page 26: Chapter 2 - Trade Theories and the Gain From Trade S1.1314](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051502/577ccd2b1a28ab9e788bafc6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Ricardian Model
• Assumptions:
– 2 nations, 2 commodities
– Labor is the only input that can move freely among industries, technology is fixed
– Costs do not vary and are proportional to the amount of labor used
– Perfect competition in all markets
![Page 27: Chapter 2 - Trade Theories and the Gain From Trade S1.1314](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051502/577ccd2b1a28ab9e788bafc6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Ricardian Model
• Comparative advantage:
– A country has a comparative advantage in producing a good if the opportunity cost of producing that good in terms of other goods is lower in that country than it is in other countries
– The opportunity cost of As in terms of Bs is the number of Bs that could have been produced with the resources used to produce a given number of As
– Depend on relative costs

The HO Theory
• Resources and Production Possibilities:
– Biased expansion of production possibilities:
![Page 44: Chapter 2 - Trade Theories and the Gain From Trade S1.1314](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051502/577ccd2b1a28ab9e788bafc6/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The HO Theory
• Resources and Production Possibilities:
– Biased expansion of production possibilities:
•An economy will tend to be relatively effective at producing goods that are intensive in the factors with which the country is relatively well endowed
![Page 45: Chapter 2 - Trade Theories and the Gain From Trade S1.1314](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051502/577ccd2b1a28ab9e788bafc6/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The HO Theory
• Assumptions:
– Two countries: Home and Foreign
– Same technology
– Home has a higher ratio of labor to land than Foreign does
•Home is labor – abundant
•Foreign is land – abundant
![Page 46: Chapter 2 - Trade Theories and the Gain From Trade S1.1314](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051502/577ccd2b1a28ab9e788bafc6/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The HO Theory
• Factor’s endowment:
– Home is labor – abundant
– Foreign is land – abundant
• At any given price ratio of cloth to that of food:
– Home has a larger relative supply of cloth
– Foreign has a larger relative supply of food
![Page 47: Chapter 2 - Trade Theories and the Gain From Trade S1.1314](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051502/577ccd2b1a28ab9e788bafc6/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The HO Theory
• Effects of International Trade:
PCDC + PFDF = PCQC + PFQF
(DF – QF) = (PC /PF)(QC – DC)
• This equation is the budget constraint for an economy, and it has a slope of – (PC /PF)
(DF – QF) – (PC /PF)(QC – DC) = 0
