    • @opencase9903
      @opencase9903 5 месяцев назад

      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)

    The 'market price' is cheaper than the price of making it yourself. That's a comparative advantage in a nutshell.

      @patgrabiec4406 4 года назад

      I know this was 6 Years ago, but for anyone still wondering:
      Both Charlie and Patty can produce 30 units of either cups/plates because that is the most efficient for them. But in order to increase their Production Possibility Frontier they trade with each other, so that both of them have 15 of each, exceeding their independent PPF.

    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.

      I’d rather have someone teach me something that they’re an expert in, while I teach them something I’m an expert in, than leaving both of us learning on our own. Teaching one another is a win-win situation.

    • @bradendredge6809
      @bradendredge6809 3 года назад

      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 3 года назад

      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.
