- Assume that Trinbago is a small country that produces wine and motor vehicles, where motor vehicles are capital-intensive. Trinbago is also capital intensive, and the standard Heckscher -Ohlin (H-O) assumptions hold. The other country in the model is Vincyland.

Ensure to label graphs and give brief explanations.

- Question 13 a Please help awnser the following question: Question: It is sometimes argued that, if a government protects a domestic industry (forexample, using tariffs or subsidies) that is facing import competition from a moreefficient foreign industry, this would be a net gain for the country as a whole, evenif the foreign industry is itself protected. Give arguments for and against this pointof view, drawing on Ricardo’s theory of trade, the Standard Model, and other theorythat you consider relevant. Finally, does the size of the country matter?Assume that Trinbago is a small country that produces wine and motor vehicles, where motor vehicles are capital-intensive. Trinbago is also capital intensive, and the standard Heckscher -Ohlin (H-O) assumptions hold. The other country in the model is Vincyland. Questions: Give a short background on the Heckscher-Ohlin Trade model and then answer the following questions. (a) Based on the H-O assumptions, which good should Vincyland export, and why? (b) What trade pattern would occur if the Leontief Paradox holds? Which two (2) explanations of the Leontief Paradox most strongly support the H-O theory? Give the reasons.

A business man wants to do trade between the two countries. If Syria produces maximum of 2 million kilograms of tomato and maximum of 4000 kilograms of Halwa, then draw the production possibility frontier What is the absolute value of the slope of this production possibility frontier?
