Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Free trade can result in job losses for workers in sectors where the economy has a comparative disadvantage (choice A) because they cannot compete with foreign producers. However, on aggregate, free trade can make an economy better off (choice B) by enabling the country to specialize in the production of goods and services that they are best at producing and import goods and services that they are less efficient at producing. It can lead to lower prices, a wider range of goods for consumers, and increased efficiency. Therefore, choices A and B together are the most accurate choice. Workers in each sector may not necessarily see an improvement in their welfare (choice C) as some may experience job losses while others gain from the increase in trade. Capital may move across borders (choice D), but that is not necessarily a direct impact of free trade.
