Basics of Trade
• Exports: goods/services leave country
• Imports: goods/services enter country
• Trade Surplus: Export more than import
• Trade Deficit: Import more than export
![Page 6: Senior Cut Day. Why Trade? Why is Trade Controversial?](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032709/56649ec95503460f94bd7389/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Ways to Limit Trade
• Tariffs– taxes on imports
• Quotas- limits on quantity imported
• Protectionism: Gov’t policy which seeks to limit trade
• Globalization: the “global” movement away from protectionism and towards free trade – Trade without Tariffs & Quotas
– Worldwide movement towards free market capitalism

David Ricardo• In 1816 David Ricardo developed the theory of free trade
based on comparative advantage
• His theory is still the basis of free trade theory today

Ricardo Trade Terms
• Absolute Advantage: when a country can outright produce more of a good than another country
• Comparative Advantage: when a country can produce a good at a lower opportunity cost

Trade Analysis:
1) Build an opportunity cost table2) Determine who has a comparative advantage in each good3) Country will produce only this product 4) Trade will benefit BOTH countries (end up above their own PPF curve)

Summary: In Theory
• Countries produce goods where they have a comparative advantage
• Trade is mutually beneficial– End up at a point above their own PPF curve
