Discuss and explain the difference between the two.

The principle upon which Adam Smith first claimed that free trade benefits all countries. It holds that a country benefits from trade when it produces a particular good at a lower cost (in terms of labor input) than it costs to produce the good in any other country. By specializing the in the production and export of this good and importing goods whose production costs are higher than in other countries, the country can consume more of both goods. In trade theories, this principle was later replaced by the principle of comparative advantages.

Comparative Advantage is first fully stated by David Ricardo in the early nineteenth century, this concept holds that a country has a comparative advantage in a good if it can produce that good more cheaply than it can produce other goods. By specializing in the production of goods in which it holds a comparative advantage and importing the other goods, the country can consume more of all goods. In contrast to Adam Smith, therefore, this principle states that a country need not have an absolute advantage in any good to benefit from trade. The principle provides a powerful justification for liberal international trade by asserting that all countries benefit from such trade.

1. True or False: Increases in imports will always lead to NET job losses in the U.S. domestic economy.

Would this be false?

2. True or False: If all countries could restrict imports and promote exports, world output would rise.

Would this be false as well?

3. Which of the following statement is FALSE?
A.Quotas restrict the quantity of a good that is imported into a country.
B.One result of quotas is that consumers of the good facing the quota will pay a higher price for the good.
C.Domestic producers of the good will benefit because they face less foreign competition.
D.Government collects the revenue from quotas.

Is it B?

4. True or False: If country A has an absolute advantage in producing many goods and services over another country B, then country A will NEVER have an incentive to trade with country B.

I want to say its False because regardless if country A has an absolute advantage it still needs to trade with country B. I think?
