In the context of international trade, when a country can produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than another country, it is said to have a __________ advantage.

In international trade, when a country can produce a good at a lower opportunity cost than another country, it is said to have a comparative advantage. This means that it sacrifices less of other goods to produce this particular good compared to others. For example, if Country A can produce wine by giving up 2 units of cheese, while Country B has to give up 4 units of cheese to make the same amount of wine, Country A has a comparative advantage in wine production. This concept helps countries specialize in producing goods where they are most efficient, leading to increased overall trade benefits. By focusing on what they do best, countries can trade and enjoy more goods than if they tried to produce everything themselves.
