Khan Academy: Terms of Trade and the Gains From Trade

Curated by ACT

In this video, we explore how we can use opportunity costs to determine who has comparative advantage in producing a good. By specializing in the production of a good that a country has comparative advantage in, and trading for the other good, both countries have the potential to benefit from the exchange. We can also figure out a trading price (also known as the 'terms of trade') which would make both countries willing to trade.
