2. Consider a model with two countries, France and Germany. France exports wine to Germany,and Germany exports beer to France. In each country, the demand for wine is given by the demandcurve QP = 100 - P", where QP is the quantity demanded and P" is the price of wine. In eachcountry, the demand for beer is given by the same demand curve, i.e., Q = 100 - PB, where QP isthe quantity demanded and P³ is the price of beer. The supply of wine in France is given by QS =2P", where QS is the quantity supplied, and the supply of wine in Germany is given by QS = pw.The supply of beer in France is given by QS = P², and the supply of beer in Germany is given byQS=2PB. Suppose the government of France imposes a $10 per unit import tax on beer. Find theworld price of beer, the domestic price in France, and the tariff revenue collected by the Frenchgovernment under this policy.

Consider the Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson model for the US producing 2 goods (digital cameras and baskets) using 2 factors (capital and labor). Let the production of digital cameras be relatively capital-intensive. If foreign owners of domestic capital decide to decrease their investment in the US, how would that affect the output in each industry?
3. It has been argued that the Heckscher-Ohlin model defines comparative advantage as the outcome of variances in countries':a. Degree of technological sophisticationb. Relative richness of resourcesc. Labor costsd. Important production activities
Assume Indonesia and China are trading partners. Indonesia initially exports palm oil to and imports lubricants from China. Using the standard trade model, explain how an increase in the relative price of palm oil, in relation to lubricant prices, would affect production and consumption of palm oil for Indonesia (assuming that the taste for both goods is the same in both countries). If the income effect of price change of palm oil is greater than the substitution effect, what would happen to palm oil consumption in Indonesia?
In the Heckscher-Ohlin model, suppose the two factors of production are: high-skilled labor (H) and regular labor (L). The two sectors are manufacturing and business services. Manufacturing uses regular labor more intensively, and business services uses high-skilled labor more intensively. The two countries are the U.S. and China, and the U.S. has a comparative advantage in business services. a. Illustrate the effect of opening up to trade on the U.S. with the PPF and indifference curve diagram. Make sure you clearly label everything. What happens to the relative price of business services in the U.S.? Show clearly the gains from trade. b. What happens to the relative wage of high-skilled labor? Does inequality (the skill premium) increase? Show all work and explain. 2. Evidence for or against Heckscher-Ohlin model Leontieff Paradox i.

The Scenario : Suppose that the market for good X is small in Malaysia and in Thailand , relative to the world market for good X . Both these markets are currently open to free trade . Suppose also that , relative to the rest of the world , Malaysia has a comparative advantage in producing good X whilst Thailand has a comparative disadvantage in producing good X. Malaysian consider good X a normal good , whereas Thais consider good X an inferior good . The Question : Using a set of appropriate diagrams ( with demand and supply curves ), show the comparison between the Malaysian and Thai markets for good X (side by side) - when an economic recession hits both Malaysia and Thailand simultaneously. Explain what happens to the price of good X in each country, as well as the quantity demanded, quantity supplied, and the quantity imported/exported. make sure that you include welfare tables and briefly explain the welfare effects on consumers, producers, and society as a whole - for each…
Suppose that research finds a link between high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and obesity, which then leads American consumers to switch from HFCS products to pure cane sugar products. The graphs show the markets for cane sugar in Haiti and the United States before the studies were divulged. Shift the curves in the graphs, including the horizontal world price curve, to describe the new trade equilibrium that results after the switch in preferences of American households, and then answer the follow‑up question. Assume that the United States and Haiti are the only non‑HFCS sugar trading parties in the world and that there are no quotas, subsidies, or tariffs distorting these markets. According to your graphs, at the new equilibrium a. all Haitian cane sugar consumers benefit. b. cane sugar producers in Haiti benefit. d. cane sugar producers in the United States are worse off.
Q1. Assume that a country produces two goods, agriculture (which requires land and labor) and manufactured goods (which requires labor and capital), and is currently in autarky equilibrium. The country just finds that the international price ratio of agriculture relative to manufactured goods, i.e., PA/PM, in the world market is higher than the price ratio in its domestic market. Should this country trade? If so, which product should it export? Will it gain from trade? Illustrate your answer graphically using production-possibilities frontier (PPF) and indifference curves. In the same graph, identify the trade triangle, including export and import quantities. How will the size of the trade triangle, i.e., the levels of export and import quantities, in the above question change when PA falls in the world market? Illustrate your answer graphically. How will the nominal wage rate in this country be affected by trade? What about real wages? Illustrate your answer graphically. Your…
Q2. Suppose that there are two countries (A and B) and two goods (a labor-intensive good X, textile, and a capital-intensive good Y, electronics). The two countries have identical demand for the two goods but different labor and capital endowments. Suppose (Px/Py)A < (Px/Py)B in autarky. Identify the capital-abundant country and the labor-abundant country, respectively. Use a PPF-indifference-curve graph to identify the autarky equilibrium for country B. In the same graph, show country B's gains from trade when the two countries trade at a level of Px/Py that is between the two countries' autarky price ratios. In the above graph, identify the trade triangle (including export and import quantities) for country B. What would be the effect of trade on country B's relative nominal wage rate, i.e., the ratio of nominal wage rate relative to nominal capital rental rate (w/r)? Illustrate your answer graphically. Your answer:
22. A critical element of the Heckscher-Ohlin model is that a. Different goods display different factor intensities in their production. b. Some countries have no comparative advantage in anything. c. Trade may not be beneficial. d. Some countries have no absolute advantage in anything.
Explain, with a two-country, two-good model, why the Heckscher-Ohlin model predicts only partial specialisation in the production of two goods, while Ricardo's comparative advantage model predicts full specialisation when opening up to international trade. You can opt to present your explanation with the aid of diagrams.
"The Heckscher-Ohlin Model suggests that the basis of comparative advantage lies primarily in a difference in factor endowments between countries, and that if countries enter into international trade based on that comparative advantage, they will be better off compared to other theories." Discuss this statement
Assume that country A can use its resources to produce 320 computers or 320,000 books, while country B can produce 16 computers or 32,000 books. Can we determine which country has an absolute advantage in producing computers? Who has the comparative advantage in producing computers? Draw the possibility frontiers for both countries and find their slopes. In the case the two countries trade, which country exports what? Show graphically if country A benefits from trade.
