    • @opencase9903
      @opencase9903 Před měsícem

      Same idea no matter the numbers. For example, for Patty, the opportunity cost of making 1 cup is 3 plates. In other words, making 1 cup is costing her the opportunity to make 3 plates.
      Therefore, she should specialize in making plates and be willing to trade any time someone will give her 1 cup for less than 3 plates (i.e. 1 or 2 plates). Because for example, she can either make 1 cup and have 0 plates or she can make 3 plates and give someone 1 plate and get a cup in return for a total of 2 plates and 1 cup:) (this example assumes a market rate of 1 plate for one cup, just like in Sal's video)

    comparative advantage = production opportunity cost lower than competition(buyer), trading in speciality increases both parties PPF(decreases oc.):
    *Increasing PPF(decreasing oc.) = trading comparative advantage
    *by specialising in comparative advantage = gains of trade
    *market price cheaper than own production possibilities
    trade 1 cup = 1 plate:
    charlie 1 cup = 1/3 plantes
    patty 1 plate = 1/3 cups

      And when two people come together to offer a service, said services being much more difficult to attain by other means, they both gain all the more. Through specialization, economic mutual relationships are born.

    • @bradendredge6809
      @bradendredge6809 Před 3 lety

      And, as always, the greatest acquisition in both of two resources is attained through each party’s complete focus on one or the other. So when two parties focus on one of those factors, and both parties attain more of that resource faster than the other, then a mutually beneficial trade can be made.

    There are no gains from specialization only weaknesses when exploited you die or lose to someone who never specialized.
    UK never specialized and easily conquered Gambia whose only product is Peanuts.
    This is my theory of Comparative Advantage Trap in a peanut shell.
    By not specializing in only what you are good at, you increase your purchasing power against someone else who specializes.
    Food is 1/3rd of the US average household budget. If they didnt specialize...and grew their own food they would have that money to out bid others competitively for other goods.
