Ah okay thank you.
By Ben Borich•September 18, 2018
Lets say a nation produces both good X and good y. What would happen to the PPF curve over time? Does it stay the same or would it change eventually?
By Siyan Pu•April 6, 2018
Could you give more detailed explanations about these two terms? Thanks
By Taichi Ishikawa•November 10, 2015
For example 6 in the video, I understood why USA has comparative advantage in making computers but I still don't get why India has comparative advantage in making cars aside from the fact that there can't be two comparative advantages.
Thank you

Using less workers to produce a good is better for that country. This shows the input, not output; so the smaller then number, the more advantage it gets.
