Law of Comparative Advantage

Definition

The law of comparative advantage states that a country tends to export those economic goods in the production of which it has a comparative advantage and to import those economic goods in the production of which it has a comparative disadvantage.

If a country has no comparative advantage, then it should tend to produce those products for which it has the least comparative disadvantage.[1]

See Wikipedia on comparative advantage for more information.
