    In this video we use the PPCs for two different countries that each produce two goods in order to create an output table based on the data in the graph. We then use the output table to determine the opportunity costs of producing each good. Finally, we determine which country as comparative advantage in each good.

    output table = both variables maximum output given interval PPF:
    *oc. 1x in y = 1x = y / x
    agent a : oc. 1 basketball = 6 / 8 = 0,75 shoes
    agent b : oc. 1 basketball = 4 / 4 = 1 shoes
    *oc. 1y in x = x / y
    agent a : oc. 1 shoe = 8 / 6 = 1,33 basketballs
    Agent b : oc. 1 shoe = 4 / 4 = 1 basketball
    lowest oc. = comparative advantage

    What about the opportunity costs given a portfolio of 3 products? would we do this pairwise or should we make the something like 4b = 4s = 4h?

  • @speakyourself7920
    @speakyourself7920 Před 4 lety +16

    In our university, they taught us that to get the opportunity cost, you divide the figure in the upper box by the figure in the lower box. In this sense, the opportunitu cost of producing 1 ball would be 8/6 socks. I'm really confused right now

    I have to ask, our lecturer says we must deduct the OC from the net profit. Why oh why? Is the OC of say £1000 ACTUALLY deducted from the net profits, where does it go if so? Seems bonkers haha Please help

    The reformulation of Ricardo's numerical example in terms of opportunity costs by Gottfried von Haberler was based on a crucial misinterpretation. See:

      I found your link and has been reading through your other works, they're very insightful. I still haven't finished reading this paper totally before I was drawn to your other article concerning comparative advantage and the labour theory of value.
      Your articles have taken away the fog I so long had but I never knew,
      Your exposition of Sraffa and thorough reading of classical literature vis-a-vis its twisted modern counterpart has me thoroughly engaged.

      It's really interesting to see examples of how the absolute advantage is different than the comparative advantage. Even though one country could produce more shoes than the other per day, the first country would have no basketballs. So specialization would be much more favorable.
