Production and Consumption. This problem ilustrates an example of trade induced by comparative advantage. It assumes that China and France each have 1,000 production units. With one unit of production (a mix of land, labor, capital, and technology), China can produce either 8 containers of toys or 8cases of wine. France can produce either 2 containers of toys or 8 cases of wine. Thus, a production unit in China is four times as efficient compared to France when producing toys,...

Trade at France's Domestic Price. This problem illustrates an example of trade induced by comparative advantage. It assumes that China and France each have 1,000 production units. With one unit of production (a mix of land, labor, capital, and technology), China can produce either 12 containers of toys or 7 cases of wine. France can produce either 2 cases of toys or 7 cases of wine. Thus, a production unit in China is six times as efficient compared to France...
