Economics: The Global Trade Simulation Bundle

Bring international trade theory to life with this powerful two-in-one interactive pack. Students explore the gains from trade through the Comparative Advantage Simulator and analyze the real-time impact of tariffs using the Interactive Tariff Diagram—both designed for hands-on, visual learning that deepens economic understanding.

Comparative Advantage Trade Simulator:

“Discover why countries benefit from trade even when one is better at everything!”

Two fictional countries – Technologia and Rustica – are used to humanize economic theory and make abstract concepts tangible.

Step into the role of a global economist with this vibrant, interactive simulator that brings international trade theory to life!
Designed to excite, educate, and engage, this powerful tool transforms textbook theory into hands-on exploration through immersive visual storytelling.

The simulator dynamically tracks world output and trade gains, reinforcing the core principle: specialization = shared prosperity.

This HTML simulator is accompanied by a supporting PDF document, designed to help teachers integrate the resource effectively into the classroom with ideas for use, key discussion questions, and reflection prompts.

Learning Outcomes:

Mastery of comparative vs. absolute advantage

Understanding opportunity cost through production tables

Visualization of specialization effects

Practical experience with mutual gains from trade

Interactive Tariff Diagram Tool:

"See tariffs not as theory—but as impact, in real time"

A modern, visually compelling economics tool that transforms how students understand trade barriers, elasticities, and market distortions.

Control the tariff rate, world price, and elasticity of supply and demand. Watch the supply and demand curves morph live on the chart.

Learning Outcomes:

Clear understanding of how tariffs distort market equilibrium

Real-time analysis of welfare impacts and efficiency losses

Visual reinforcement of elasticity effects on market outcomes

Hands-on exploration of free trade vs. protectionism
