Comparative Advantage:Absolute Advantage :: Specialization:?

Comparative advantage is the ability of a person or country to produce a good or service at a lower opportunity cost than others, while absolute advantage is when someone can produce more of a good or service with the same resources. Specialization is related to these concepts because it means focusing on one specific task or product to become more efficient. For example, if a farmer is really good at growing apples and another is better at growing oranges, they should each specialize in what they do best. By doing this, they can trade with each other and both benefit from having more fruit than if they tried to grow both. So, just like comparative advantage relates to how efficiently resources are used, specialization is about focusing efforts to maximize productivity.
