jerylewis demand (import) meets supply (domestic + export)
tany "with free international trade, the price (terms of trade) is determined where the export supply curve intersects the import demand curve"(quote from CFA readings)
aravinda I am not sure if my understanding of this practically is correct...I think if a country A needs to supply 100,000 units of food every day to support its consumption...but due to the comparative advantage, lets say Country A now produce only 80,000 units of food ...and in turn it produces more of clothing and exports them. But note that country A needs the remaining 20,000 units of food which it will import (demand for 20,000 units of food in the international market) so that there is equilibrium between the demand-supply of food in Country A...I think this is why " the import demand curve intersects the (domestic + export) supply curve
StJohnDale Not sure I understand this question?
