Specialization © Brain Wrinkles
Why Trade? • Voluntary trade occurs when different countries choose to engage in the exchange of goods with one another. • Countries trade goods because no country has all the resources necessary to produce every single thing its people need. • Voluntary trade is good for countries because it lets a country sell its own resources and buy the resources it needs. © Brain Wrinkles
Specialization • Because countries cannot produce all of the goods/services that they need, they must specialize in what they do best. • Specialization is an efficient way to work, and the cost of items produced is lower. • It increases trade because a country can get what it needs at the lowest cost when produced by someone who specializes in producing that item. © Brain Wrinkles
Specialization • Specialization encourages trade among countries, because no country produces everything it needs. • The country selling the product makes a profit, and the country buying the product gets what it needs. © Brain Wrinkles
SW Asia • Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and Kuwait specialize in oil production and export millions of barrels of oil every day. • There are plenty of countries around the world that import Middle Eastern oil, and in turn, they export food, medicine, and raw materials, to this region. • Petroleum accounts for 90% of Saudi Arabia’s exports, which means that the country specializes its economy in the oil industry. © Brain Wrinkles
