Answer to Question 1

Intertemporal comparative advantage arises when a country can produce goods for future consumption at a relatively low cost in terms of current consumption when compared with its trading partner. This implies that the first country offers a relatively high return on investment when compared to the second. As a result, the first country will import goods for current consumption (investments or loans) and will export goods for future consumption (return on investment or interest). The resulting pattern of trade is one which will tend to equalize returns on investment in the two countries.
