Comparative Advantage Live
Two countries discover that even when one is better at everything, both gain from specialising and trading according to comparative advantage.
About this simulation
Build the two-country, two-good, two-factor Heckscher-Ohlin model from first principles for the Costaria-Boravia pair.
Diagnose the trade pattern (Round 1), derive the Stolper-Samuelson distributional consequences and design a compensation mix (Round 2), then confront the model with the Leontief paradox and pick the right lens — Ricardo, H-O, Stolper-Samuelson, Krugman, Melitz, Grossman-Rossi-Hansberg — for each margin of the actual 2026 trade pattern (Round 3).
Who it is for
An advanced simulation for participants used to working with the main frameworks and trade-offs of the subject, designed for executive education and experienced professionals.
How a session runs
- The instructor creates a session from the Eureka dashboard and invites the participants.
- Participants play 3 rounds. In each one they submit their decisions and the simulation calculates the results.
- The simulation can be run in English, Español.
- The instructor follows each participant's progress and results from the dashboard, and uses the class results for the debrief.
