Specialization and trade allow individuals to consume beyond their production possibilities frontiers (this is true for individual people and individual nations). For what types of goods/services do you think the U.S. has a comparative advantage, and if t ...
The estimates for the highest earner (or variations thereof) indicate whether individuals in different-sex couples specialize and take advantage of each other’s comparative earnings advantage. The estimates interacted with the same-sex dummy indicate whether individuals in same-sex couples specialize ...

In general, when a country moves to more open international trade and specialization, everyone in the country becomes better off. True False Economies of scale may be associated with the ability to use more specialists in business. True False Specialization and trade all...
Further, the method of independent contrasts can extend the reconstruction approach and allow the statistical testing of whether nonrandom associations exist between the phylogenetic distributions of different traits (e.g., between particular host associations and plant toxins). This allows the evaluation...
We recorded individuals that had completed development in each treatment as survivors. Temperature- and species-specific survival probabilities during development were subsequently modelled using a logistic model (Methods). Additionally, we reared diapausing pupae (12 families from each species) that were ...
In contrast to results in some other models, we find that consumption of goods that are not purchased with money (analogous to leisure services or credit goods) can either rise or fall with a rise in the money growth rate. Finally, we allow for costly barter and examine individuals' ...
to connect these associated trophic compartments15. But ecologists are becoming increasingly aware that many generalist species are composed of individual specialists that use only a subset of the available habitats and prey16,17,18,19. Individuals may function as specialists while the population and ...
Trade-offs Low specificity increases the number of individual hosts available, probably enhances the geographic range that the enemy can occupy, reduces the time required to search for new hosts and lowers the risk of extinction should any one host be unavailable (Table 1). However, all plant...
Lee and Clarke (2019) find a smaller but still positive multiplier in UK. In this case, those individuals who gain the most are unskilled workers. Gagliardi (2014) uses a different approach and different indicators. She studies the impact of innovation on LLMs by exploiting information on the...
