VS 1 International Trade Nations trade with one another to obtain goods and services that they themselves cannot produce efficiently. Comparative advantage is the ability of a country to produce a good at a relatively lower cost than another country can. Countries sometimes try to protect their economies by setting up trade barriers, such as tariffs and quotas.
