International trade enhance competition and provides a country and its consumers the exposure to new goods and services that may not be available domestically. These goods and services could at times be more expensive to produce domestically. Develop a logical argument as to why countries would trade internationally. Use the production possibilities curve to support your argument. It is imperative examples are applied to support your arguments.

During the last 20 to 30 years, there have been a number of countries whose economies have experienced important economic expansion and development. One group of countries has been labeled the BRIC countries and the other the VISTA countries. Identify each of the nine countries and provide some insights about their economies and economic importance. The theories of absolute and comparative advantage have been offered as an economic rationale for trade between and among regions and countries. Compare and contrast the two concepts. Which of the two do you think is more important for explaining the growth in global trade during the last 25 years? Why”

The countries of Sanaton and Microtania each produce two goods: Airplanes and Computers. The table below lists the opportunity costs associated with producing each good, for each country. Country Opportunity cost of producing 1 Airplanes Opportunity cost of producing 1 Computers Sanaton 4 Computers 0.25 Airplanes 2 Airplanes Microtania 0.5 Computers Currently, Sanaton does not trade with Microtania, and on its own produces 19 Airplanes and 24 Computers. On their own, Microtania produces 30 Airplanes and 35 Computers. Calculate total world supply: Airplanes: → Computers: If Sanaton decided to change its production of Airplanes by -2, calculate the change in the production of Computers: If Microtania changed its production of Airplanes by 8, calculate the change in production of Computers: A

home cheese alc=1hr/kg wine alw=2hrs/gallon foreign cheese alc*=6hrs/kg wine alw*=3hrs/gallon Calculate the Home country's opportunity cost of producing cheese. In which product does the Home (Foreign* ) country has an absolute advantage? Show in which product does the Home (Foreign* ) country has comparative advantage? Calculate the relative supply (RS) With trade, what is the equilibrium range that the relative price of cheese to wine will settle? Supposing that the intersection of RS and RD occurs at PC /PW = 1, what is the implication?
