5. Free-trade benefits In addition to the positive welfare effects that free trade has on an economy, there are a variety of other benefits of international trade. Consider the following scenario: Because of international trade, poorer countries are able to learn about technological advances made by other countries rather than investing scarce resources in developing advanced technology themselves. The previous scenario represents which of the following benefits of free trade? O Increased variety of goods O Increased competition O Lower costs through economies-of scale O An enhanced flow of ideas
5. The price of trade Suppose that Poland and Wales both produce alive oil and shoes. Poland's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is 5 crates of olive oil while Wales's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is 11 crates of olive oil. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing shoes in the two countries, you can tell that Poland production of shoes and Wales has a comparative advantage in the production of olive oil. has a comparative advantage in the Suppose that Poland and Wales consider trading shoes and olive oil with each other. Poland can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than 5 crates of olive oil for each pair of shoes it exports to Wales. Similarly, Wales can gain from trade as long as it receives more than 11 pairs of shoes for each crate of olive oil it exports to Poland. Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of shoes in terms of olive oil) would allow both Wales…
