comparative advantage  

Définition

  • Comparative advantage is one of the principal ideas used in economics to explain the potential for gains from trade between countries. The theory of comparative advantage—developed by 19th-century economist Robert Torrens but usually attributed to David Ricardo—asserts that a country should focus on producing those goods it can make most efficiently while importing goods which the country can make relatively less efficiently.
