Answer to Question 1

The three types are:
(1 ) Gains due to comparative advantage and economies of scale.
(2 ) Gains due to inter-temporal trade, which is the exchange of goods and services for claims to future goods and services, which is for assets.
(3 ) Gains due to trades of assets for assets, such as the exchange of real estate located in London for U.S. Treasury bonds.
