Why Nations Trade (Ch.17-1) How does resource distribution affect trade? What are the differences between absolute and comparative advantage? What are the major imports and exports of the United States? How does trade affect employment?

Resource Distribution and Trade Each country of the world possesses different types and quantities of land, labor, and capital resources. By specializing in the production of certain goods and services, nations can use their resources more efficiently. Specialization and trade can benefit all nations.

The law of comparative advantage states that nations are better off when they produce goods and services for which they have a comparative advantage in supplying. Absolute and Comparative Advantage A person or nation has an absolute advantage when it can produce a particular good at a lower cost than another person or nation. Comparative advantage is the ability of one person or nation to produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than that of another person or nation.

The United States is the world’s largest exporter. The United States’ main trading partners are Canada, Mexico and Japan. The United States is also the world’s largest importer. Imports and Exports of the United States

As nations begin to specialize in certain goods, dramatic changes in the nation’s employment patterns also occur. Trade and Employment Workers who lose their jobs due to specialization face three options: – Unemployment: Inability to adapt and find a new job – Relocation: Moving to where current skills meet current jobs – Retraining: Gaining new human capital to meet the demands of specialized labor markets
