Gains from Trade
Even if a country is less efficient at producing both goods, it can still benefit from trade. For instance, if one country is much better at producing one good and the other country is better at producing a different good, both can benefit by specializing and exchanging goods.
Lower Prices and Greater Variety of Goods
Comparative advantage is the reason why consumers get lower prices because it allows for producing goods in large quantities, which would otherwise be impossible to produce. As countries specialize and trade, they provide consumers with a wider variety of goods and services at lower prices than they would have otherwise.
Advantages of Comparative Advantage
Advantages of comparative advantage are extensive and extend from the individual producer level to whole economies:-
It increases efficiency. Countries, companies, or individuals can concentrate on goods for which they are most efficient, thus getting the most from their resources. It thus leads to more production overall and a greater wealth base.
Maximization of total output: Specialization maximizes the total output. By concentrating on the production of goods in which a party has a comparative advantage, it can produce more goods than if they had attempted to produce everything by themselves.
Lowered opportunity cost: By specializing and trading, the parties will be able to lower the opportunity cost of producing goods. This results in better resource utilization.
It enables access to more varied goods and, thereby improves consumers' choice and their level of living standards. Growth in and development of economics can also be achieved due to the principle of comparative advantage; because this principle supports countries that pr
