Comparative Costs Revisited

Gerald M. Meier ; Stanford University

Abstract

The theory of comparative advantage is the oldest – and most fundamental – principle in international economics. Its empirical significance, however, changes with the times. Given the intensification of the forces of globalisation, the importance of comparative costs should now be revisited in order to consider dynamic changes in the global economy, the connection between a country’s comparative advantage and a firm’s competitive advantage, and the effects on more developed countries of trade with less developed countries

Keywords
