Motor Vehicle Production in the United States (in millions) Cars Trucks 0 4 0 Motor Vehicle Production in Mexico (in millions) Cars Trucks 0 2 0 Which country has the absolute advantage in producing cars? Which country has the absolute advantage in producing trucks? Which country has the comparative advantage in producing cars? Which country has the comparative advantage in producing trucks?

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.

BASIL (Millions of pounds) The following graph shows the same PPF for Rainier as before, as well as its initial consumption at point A. As you did for Yosemite, place a black point (plus symbol) on the following graph to indicate Rainier's consumption after trade. 64 56 48 PPF 40 32 24 16 8 0 8 16 Rainier 24 32 40 48 56 64 ALMONDS (Millions of pounds) Consumption After Trade ? True or False: Without engaging in international trade, Yosemite and Rainier would not have been able to consume at the after-trade consumption bundles.
