Answer to Question 1

Country similarity theory, product life cycle, and new trade theories are all firm-based theories. Mercantilism, absolute advantage, comparative advantage, and relative factor endowments are all country-based theories. Firms-based theories help explain trade in differentiated products. Country-based theories help explain trade in undifferentiated goods such as wheat, sugar, and steel.
