Consider two neighboring island countries, Charisma and Fiatstan. Each has 72,000 labor hours available per week that it can use to produce wheat, jeans, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of labor hours required to produce 1 bushel of wheat or 1 pair ofjeans. Wheat Jeans Country ( Labor hours per bushel) (Labor hours per pair) Charisma 80 16 Fiatstan 24 12 Fiatstan V has an absolute advantage in the production of wheat, and Charisma Y has an absolute advantage in the production of jeans. Initially, suppose Charisma uses 54,000 hours of labor per week to produce wheat and 18,000 hours per week to produce jeans, while Fiatstan uses 18,000 hours of labor per week to produce wheat and 54,000 hours per week to produce jeans. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of wheat and jeans it produces. Charisma's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of wheat is V of jeans, and Fiatstan's opportunity cost of producing 1 bushel of wheat is V ofjeans. Therefore, V has a comparative advantage in the production of wheat, and V has a comparative advantage in the production ofjeans. When neither country specializes, the total production of wheat is bushels per week, and the total production of jeans is pairs per week. Suppose that Charisma completely specializes in the production of the good in which it has a comparative advantage, producing only that good. It will produce V . Suppose also that Fiatstan does not specialize and uses 54,000 hours of labor to produce wheat and 18,000 hours of labor to produce jeans. It will produce bushels of wheat and pairs ofjeans. When neither country specializes, the total production of wheat is bushels per week, and the total production ofjeans is pairs per week. Suppose that Charisma completely specializes in the production of the good in which it has a comparative advantage, producing only that good. It will produce V . Suppose also that Fiatstan does not specialize and uses 54,000 hours of labor to produce wheat and 18,000 hours of labor to produce jeans. It will produce bushels of wheat and pairs of jeans. Suppose Charisma and Fiatstan agree to trade with each other, exchanging 1,100 bushels of wheat for 3,300 pairs ofjeans. In particular, Charisma will export the goods it produces, and Fiatstan will export the goods that Charisma does not produce. With trade, Charisma will Y wheat and V jeans. Fiatstan will V wheat and V jeans. When Charisma specializes and Fiatstan still produces the combination of goods using 54,000 hours of labor to produce wheat and 18,000 hours of labor to produce jeans, the total production of wheat becomes bushels per week, and the total production of jeans becomes pairs per week
