production in the country?

electric cars from the United States to Vietnam where labor is less expensive applies the absolute
advantage theory.

benefit from minimized production costs associated with lower labor and dedicated manufacturing
operations as they scale up to mass production.

advantage against other multinational companies in their industry through activities such as research
and development.
