Ricardo énonce la théorie des avantages comparatifs : tout pays a intérêt à être libre-échangiste même si un pays a un avantage absolu sur tous les autres pays dans tous les domaines. Le pays se spécialise dans la production où il possède un avantage relatif, c'est-à-dire là où il est relativement le meilleur ou le moins mauvais. Il faut savoir renoncer à ses avantages les plus faibles pour tirer parti de ses avantages les plus forts. 4, record 2, French, - th%C3%A9orie%20des%20avantages%20comparatifs

Según la teoría de la ventaja comparativa, aunque un país no tenga ventaja absoluta en la producción de ningún bien, le conviene especializarse en la producción de aquellas mercancías para las que su desventaja sea menor, y el país que tenga ventaja absoluta en la producción de todos los bienes debe especializarse en la producción de aquellos cuya ventaja sea mayor. 4, record 2, Spanish, - teor%C3%ADa%20de%20la%20ventaja%20comparativa

The Deutsches Studentenwerk-DSW-is the voluntary national association of all Studentenwerk organisations in Germany(organisations for student affairs). These organisations perform public responsibilities related to the economic, social, health-care and cultural support and promotion of students at German higher education institutions. Whereas, in Anglo-Saxon countries, these responsibilities are performed by departments which form an integral part of the respective university or college, the Studentenwerk organisations in Germany are completely autonomous and fully independent institutions which cooperate closely with the higher education institutions which they serve. Many Studentenwerk organisations are simultaneously responsible for several higher education institutions and, in some cases, for institutions at various locations. They contribute substantially to the realisation of equal opportunity. In collaboration with their higher education institutions and their towns, the Studentenwerk organisations contribute towards improving the framework conditions for higher education study and in so doing also have an important role in structuring the higher education living environment. 1, record 3, English, - Deutsches%20Studentenwerk
