Suppose countries A and B produce and consume (assuming convex preferences) apples and bananas using only labour. Unit labour cost for apples in country A are 2 and 1 in country B. Unit labour cost for bananas are 5 in country A and 4 in country B. The labour force is the same in both countries, and given by 100 in each country. Which three of the following statements are true? Each country has an absolute advantage. Allowing for international trade, the production of 100 apples and 20 bananas can occur in a global market equilibrium, but not in a market equilibria under autarky. Country A will produce apples, with or without international trade. Under autarky, the relative price for apples (price for apples/price for bananas) equals 0.4 in country A and 0.25 in country B. Country B has an absolute advantage in producing bananas. Allowing for international trade, the production of 60 apples and 40 bananas is feasible, but…

B Allowing for international trade, the production of 50 apples and 50 bananas can occur in a global market equilibrium feasible, but not in market equilibria under autarky. C Each country has an absolute advantage. D Allowing for international trade, the production of 50 apples and 50 bananas is feasible, but not under autarky. E Under autarky, the relative price for apples (price for apples/price for banans) equals 0.5 in country A and 0.4 in country B. F Country A will produce bananas, with or…
Compared with autarky (where each economy consumes only from what they produce themselves), the combination of specialisation and trade is likely to: a. Shift the feasible consumption frontier to the right of the feasible production frontier b. Shift the feasible consumption frontier inwards c. Shift the feasible production frontier inwards d. Shift the feasible production frontier outwards.
Comparative advantage does not address Question 10 options: whether specialization and trade benefit more than one party to a trade. whether absolute advantage or comparative advantage that really matters. how are the gains from trade shared among the parties to a trade. whether it possible for specialization and trade to increase total output of traded goods.
In this problem, we want to think about the difficulties that governments face in agreeing to significantly reduce CO2 emissions in order to control climate change. In the context of climate change, what phenomenon does China’s utility function capture? What does this exercise tell us about the limitations of the first welfare theorem? What do you think is an important aspect of trade in reality which is not captured by this model? Provide detailed analysis
Which statement is true? Group of answer choices If one party is more productive in producing both products, it has a comparative advantage in producing both goods None of the listed statements are true A party can have a comparative disadvantage in producing both goods A party has the comparative advantage in producing a good if it has the absolute advantage in producing the other good If parties specialise and trade, it is only the less productive party that can experience any gains from trade
If John can produce a good in less time than Fred then he has an absolute advantage in producing that good. Group of answer choices True False
Using the Heckscher-Ohlin model, if a nation can shift its factors of production from the production of one good to another it produces... A) A concave PPF B) A smooth upward sloping relative supply function C) An optimal mix of production (tangency of PPF with Py/Px) D) All of the above
Show full solutions of the following Identify and interpret the opportunity costs values for Nation 1 and Nation 2. Find the Autarky Equilibrium quantities of production/consumption for Nation 2. What is the value of utility at the equilibrium in (2)?
For each good produced in a market economy, demand and supply determine Comparative advantage The price of the good sold in the market, but not the quantity bought and sold in the market The quantity of the good bought and sold in the market, but not the price Both price and quantity of the good bought and sold in the market Neither price nor quantity is determined by demand and supply because prices are ultimately set by producers

As a result opportunity cost of producing this good will __________ because productive resources ___________________ in their suitability for producing different kinds of goods. A. increase; differ B. decrease; are the same C. increase; are the same D. decrease; differ
In the Pure Specific Factors model with two sectors, Cars (C) and Wheat (W), Capital (K) is specific to C and Land (A) is specific to W.
