Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

David Ricardo's 1817 theory of Comparative Advantage states that countries should specialize in producing goods and services in which they have a lower opportunity cost and trade with other countries for goods and services that have a higher opportunity cost. Outsourcing is based on this idea of specialization and trade, where a company outsources tasks or services to a third-party vendor that can perform them more efficiently or effectively. Therefore, outsourcing can be seen as a logical extension of Ricardo's theory of Comparative Advantage. The other choices (A, B, and D) are not related to Ricardo's theory or outsourcing.
