This exploration of comparative advantage in production between Ireland and Puerto Rico focuses on two key goods: crystal and rum. By analyzing production possibilities and opportunity costs, we demonstrate how specialization benefits both countries. Ireland has a clear advantage in crystal production, while Puerto Rico excels in rum. Through their distinct capabilities, each country can engage in advantageous trade, maximizing overall welfare. This analysis not only clarifies production strategies but also emphasizes the gains from trading based on comparative advantages.

Know the definition of comparative advantage One entity can produce something at a LOWER MARGINAL OPPORTUNITY COST than another entity. 2. Set up a table: Ireland Puerto Rico 1 Rum = __Crystal 1 Rum = __Crystal 1 Crystal = __ Rum 1 Crystal = __Rum 3. Go to the Xtremes (X and Y Games)

How much crystal should Ireland produce? 1 million cases How much rum should Puerto Rico produce? 80,000 barrels Should Ireland just hold onto its cases of crystal and Puerto Rico just hold onto its barrels of rum? NO! What should each country do after specialization? Trade

  9. Terms of trade • Cost Ratio • Ireland: 1 R = 10 C • Puerto Rico: 1 R = 1 C • Must get more than this ratio, or why trade? • Actual terms depend on supply and demand (more later)
