Suppose initially that the United States is consuming 2 boots
and 18 shirts and Canada is consuming 12 boots and 2 shirts, as
indicated in the figure. Then, suppose the United States and
Canada specialize by each only producing the good for which they
have a comparative advantage and then trade. In particular,
suppose the United States trades Canada half of its production for
half of what Canada produces.?
