Which country has the absolute advantage in machinery? Food? EXPLAIN HOW YOU KNOW. 3. Which country has the comparative advantage in machinery? Food? EXPLAIN HOW YOU KNOW. 4. Using your graph from #1, demonstrate how the US and Japan would be better off specializing according to their comparative advantages and trading rather than producing both food and machinery for themselves.
