The principal concept behind comparative advantage is that a nation should maximize its volume of trade with other nations use tariffs and quotas to protect the production of vital products for the nation concentrate production on those products for which it has the lowest domestic opportunity cost strive to be self-sufficient in the production of essential goods and services

If a PPF is "bowed outward" from the origin, then which of the following can be true? (check all that apply) The opportunity cost of producing another unit of the good on the y-axis decreases in terms of foregoing units of the good on the x-axis that are given up. The opportunity cost of producing another unit of the good on the x-axis increases in terms of foregoing units of the good on the y-axis that are given up. Inputs may be specialized for different uses Each unit of labor isn't equally productive in producing every unit of each good

Supply-side economic policy is designed to Move the economy from a point inside the PPC to a point on it, and shift the aggregate supply curve to the left. Move the economy from a point inside the PPC to a point on it, and shift the aggregate supply curve to the right. Shift the production possibilities curve outward and shift the aggregate demand curve to the right. Shift the production possibilities curve outward and shift the aggregate supply curve to the right.
There are two countries Home and Foreign. Home has 1,200 units of labor available. It can produce two goods, apples and bananas. The unit labor requirement in apple production is 3, while in banana production it is 2. Foreign has a labor force of 800. Foreign's unit labor requirement in apple production is 5, while in banana production it is 1. Suppose world relative demand takes the following form: Demand for apples/demand for bananas = price of bananas/price of apples a-b. On the graph to the right: 1.) Using the 3-point curved line drawing tool, draw the relative demand curve. Label the curve RD. 2) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the equilibrium relative price of apples. Label this point EQ. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. 2 Relative price of apples Pa/Pb 0 035 0.75 05 Relative quantity of apples RS
The primary benefit that results when a nation employs its resources in accordance with the principle of comparative advantage is a) an expansion in capital investment resulting from a reallocation of resources away from consumption b) a larger output resulting from a more efficient use of resources c) greater equality of income resulting from an increase in the number of workers d) an increase in the profitability of the business enterprises resulting from an increase in capital formation
If an economy begins to use its resources more effeciently, it will move further away from it PPf

4. Specialization and trade 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 Yosemite and Denali. Both countries produce peas and pistachios, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 24 million pounds of peas and 12 million pounds of pistachios, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.

On his first day in office, President Donald Trump took the United States out of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), a proposed free trade deal with 11 other countries in the Asia-Pacific region, representing nearly 40% of global GDP. If the TPP had come into existence, the countries in the TPP would NOT be in violation of the most-favored nation (MFN) principle in the World Trade Organization (WTO) by giving each other preferential trade access. Why? A. There is an exception to MFN regarding the Generalized System of Preferences. Because Vietnam, a developing country, was one of the 12 members of the TPP, that exception applies to the whole partnership. B. Because the United States has the largest economy in the world, it gets to decide when MFN applies and when it doesn’t. C. There is an exception to MFN regarding regional trade agreements (RTA), and because all the proposed members inhabit the Asia-Pacific region, the TPP would have been an RTA, and therefore, members could give…
