QUESTION 11
Define International Trade in your own words.
International trade is the exchange of goods and services across national borders, involving both imports (buying from other countries) and exports (selling to other countries).

QUESTION 12
What are the two reasons for trade?

• Countries trade due to differences in resource endowments, meaning they have varying access to natural resources, labor, and capital.
• Countries trade to benefit from specialization and comparative advantage, allowing them to produce goods more efficiently and at a lower opportunity cost than others.

QUESTION 13
Differentiate between comparative advantage and absolute advantage.
Absolute advantage refers to a country's ability to produce a good using fewer inputs or more efficiently than another country. Comparative advantage, on the other hand, refers to a country's ability to produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than another country.
