Briefly differentiate between constant returns to specialization and diminishing returns to specialization.

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: Assuming constant returns to specialization is just.. unrealistic. We don't have an indefinite amount of any resource, and assuming that you do is a bad decision in the long-term. A diminishing return to specialization assumes that your resources are finite, and that one day it may be a better economical decision to import a good that you used to export. Considering things from this perspective allows a country to make better strategic decisions in terms of its allocation of resources, and future trade capabilities.
