Absolute Advantage
- Absolute advantage = “If a foreign country can supply us with a commodity cheaper than we

industry employed in a way in which we have some advantage”
o Adam Smith 1977, 424
- The ability of a country
o to produce a good or service with fewer real resources or inputs than another
country OR to produce more of a good or service with the same real resources or
inputs than another country
- A pattern of absolute advantage implies a potential pattern of trade
- The principle of absolute advantage is a policy suggestion that countries should import
goods from other countries where they are produced more efficiently
