Answer to Question 1

The theory of comparative advantage was Ricardo's theory that specialization and free trade will benefit all trading partners (real wages will rise), even those that may be absolutely less efficient producers. Comparative advantage refers to instances where an individual or a company can produce something at lower opportunity cost than others can.
