The real wage in Mexico is lower than in Canada. The countries have a free trade agreement. Each nation will produce according to its comparative advantage. Which one of these statements correctly describes the benefits both countries receive from trade? Canada, being an industrialized nation, benefits from trade at the expense of Mexico, a developing country. Mexico, having cheaper labor, benefits from trade at the expense of Canada, which has higher labor costs. Neither of these two nations benefits from trade.
