Theoretical aspects of trade

Trade involves countries exchanging goods and services to benefit from their comparative advantages, leading to increased efficiency and consumer choices. Theoretically, it’s driven by concepts like specialization—where nations focus on producing what they do best—and the idea that trading partners can both gain from trade through better prices and quality. Models like Comparative Advantage explain why countries benefit from trading even if one is more efficient at producing everything. Overall, trade fosters economic growth, innovation, and improved standards of living by enabling countries to access a wider variety of goods and services more efficiently.
