Investment Language 101 Series: TERM OF THE DAY: -- What Is: ' Absolute Advantage ' | E.29 | Trading Candle Cheat Sheet Incl. Each Episode.

in #money7 years ago (edited)


A series designed to help all the new people flooding into & entering Crypto/Investments daily who get thrown into the rabbit hole so to speak and everything is new to them.

It is a TLDR / Short Form Series, covering ONLY one thing each episode in blue collar, easy to understand language to give a SHORT OVERVIEW of the term or lesson of the day.

It is specifically designed this way to keep it short and simple.

People can then search out extra info if they wish.

I've never seen a regular series or resource running on Steemit to continually address this basic need so I decided to do it.


TERM OF THE DAY:


What is....

' Absolute Advantage '?

--

Absolute advantage is the ability of a country, individual, company or region to produce a good or service at a lower cost per unit than the cost at which any other entity produces that same good or service.

Entities with absolute advantages can produce a product or service using a smaller number of inputs and/or using a more efficient process than other entities producing the same product or service.

Breaking Down...

' Absolute Advantage ':

--

Absolute advantage is predominantly a theory of international trade in which a country can produce a good more efficiently than other countries.

Countries that have an absolute advantage can decide to specialize in producing and selling that specific product or service, using the funds generated to purchase other goods and services that it does specialize in producing.

-- The idea of absolute advantage was pioneered by Adam Smith in the late 18th century as part of his division of labor doctrine.

General Examples of Absolute Advantage:

--

For example, the United States may produce 700 million gallons of wine per year, while Italy produces 4 billion gallons of wine per year. Italy has an absolute advantage because it produces many more gallons of wine – the output – in the same amount of time – the input – as the United States.

Using another example, Jane can knit a sweater in 10 hours while Kate can knit a sweater in eight hours. Kate has an absolute advantage over Jane because it takes her fewer hours to produce a sweater.

However, absolute advantage also explains why it makes sense for countries, individuals and businesses to trade with one another. Since each has advantages in producing certain products and services, they can both benefit from trade.

So, if Jane can produce a painting in five hours while Kate needs nine hours to produce a comparable painting, Jane has an absolute advantage over Kate in painting. Remember Kate has an absolute advantage over Jane in knitting sweaters. If both Jane and Kate specialize in the products they have an absolute advantage in and buy the products they don't have an absolute advantage in from the other entity, they will both be better off.

Specific Examples of Absolute Advantage:

--

Almost all countries have an absolute advantage for at least one good or service. Absolute advantage is achieved through low-cost production.

For example, China and other Asian countries are known to have an absolute advantage with manufactured goods, because they can take advantage of low unit labor costs.

Canada is known to have an absolute advantage in agricultural production, thanks to its large areas of low-cost undeveloped land. (subjective at times, Canada is turning into an over-regulated police state with Big Government interference)

I am leaving these images I made here until I figure out one that fits properly and looks right for the first/main image for the post/series.

Since Steemit dev's changed the size of the picture frame that shows, it has honestly been a real problem getting images to match the screen, it was perfectly fine months ago before they messed around with it.

SMH.

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, trying to build community, put out content and engage people, help and donate to people, and I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.
