The Ricardian proposition that international trade will benefit any country (gains from trade) as long as the world terms of trade do not equal its autarkic relative prices is a straightforward and powerful concept.
 
  Nevertheless, it is impossible to demonstrate empirically. Why?

Question 2

The experience of Chile's foreign sector in the last two decades of the 20th century supports the proposition that economic growth is supported by
 
  A) import substitution.
  B) industrialization policies.
  C) trade liberalization policies.
  D) intra-industry trading.
  E) trade embargoes.

C
