Comparative Advantage and Absolute Advantage
� David Ricardo’s comparative advantage theory– the ability of a party to produce a particular good or service at
a lower cost over another.
– basic principle of free economic exchange, in the 19th century
– England selling wool and France selling wine
� Absolute advantage– the ability of a party (an firm or country) to produce more of a
good or service than competitors, using the same amount of resources.
– Mostly related to natural resources, difficult to sustain
– South Africa once had an absolute advantage in diamond production. Chukiat Worasucheep 8
Measuring Trade
� Two key factors:
� Balance of trade– is a difference of a country’s exports to imports – Trade surplus/deficit
� Balance of payments– is the difference between money coming into a country (from
exports) and money leaving the country (for imports) plus money flows from other factors such as tourism, foreign aid, military expenditures, and foreign investment.

Unfair trade Practices
� Gray Market– is the flow of goods in a distribution channel other than those
intended by the manufacturer, although legal.– Vehicles imported from other cheaper EU countries to sell in
England.
– Prices of branded drugs varies greatly from country to country.
– College level textbooks from some publishers offers lower prices in developing countries.
Chukiat Worasucheep 10
Unfair trade Practices
� Question:– Do you think gray-market unethical or not? Reasons?
� Dumping– is the practice of selling products in a foreign country at lower
prices than those charged in the producing country� In 1980, Mexico supplied ~ 1/2 of all fresh tomatoes,
cucumbers, eggplants ... in U.S. winter season.� In 1989, Japanese phones dumped in US market.
� USA dumping practices of agricultural products to other countries.

Trade Protection and Agreements
� Non-tariff barriers– Import quota– Embargo
