7、 important feature to keep in minds that the opening of a country to international trade means exposing the country to a new set of relative prices.When these different prices are available,the home countrys producers and consumers will adjust to them by reallocating their production and consumption
8、 patterns.The ultimate source of gain from international trade is the difference in relative prices in autarky between countries.In order to derive the pattern of trade between the countries,we proceed by first establishing what the relative product price is in each country without any trade,or in a
