• free trade increases production and competition, lowers prices and gives consumers greater choices in products
• raises income levels and the standard of living in all countries that are open to trade

• U.S., Canada and Mexico signed NAFTA
• All five countries have trade agreements with the U.S. that minimize trade barriers
• All five countries are members of the World Trade Organization
![Page 14: GLOBALIZATION. Educators are challenged with introducing, explaining, teaching, and selecting meaningful instructional lessons and activities to help.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e5c5503460f94b5445c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
An important concept related to trade is…
Comparative Advantage
Trade between people, firms, and nations occurs because of comparative advantage….
they can produce a product at a lower opportunity cost than other individuals and nations.
![Page 15: GLOBALIZATION. Educators are challenged with introducing, explaining, teaching, and selecting meaningful instructional lessons and activities to help.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e5c5503460f94b5445c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
For example,
• Unskilled labor in China and Mexico makes the cost of production less costly.
![Page 16: GLOBALIZATION. Educators are challenged with introducing, explaining, teaching, and selecting meaningful instructional lessons and activities to help.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e5c5503460f94b5445c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
It is important students understand…
Comparative advantage and trading
patterns can change because of changes in
1. technology
2. labor productivity
3. income,
4. consumer taste
5. political factors affecting each nation

and…
events that occur in each nation.
