In the Heckscher-Ohlin model the factor that a country is abundant in will gain from trade, i.e. its income will increase. True False
Assume our standard model. In any hour, Andreas can knit 5 scarves or 2 hats. In any hour, Katya can knit 6 scarves or 1 hats. What is the opportunity cost of knitting 100 hats (in terms of number of scarves) for the person with the comparative advantage in scarf production? Note: If neither has a comparative advantage, then we can say that both has a comparative advantage.
An examination of the Ricardian model of comparative advantage yields the clear result that trade is (potentially) beneficial for each of the two trading partners since it allows for an expanded consumption choice for each. However, for the world as a whole the expansion of production of one product must involve a decrease in the availability of the other, so that it is not clear that trade is better for the world as a whole as compared to an initial situation of non-trade (but efficient production in each country ?
true or false Economic models must mirror reality or they are of no value. When economists make normative statements, they are more likely to be acting as scientists. If a country's worker can produce 5 hamburgers per hour and 10 bags of fries per hour, then absent trade with other countries,the price for 1 bag of fries is 2 hamburgers. If trade benefits one country, it's trading partner must be worse off due to the price of trade. If an advanced country has an absolute advantage in the production of everything(relative to certain less developed countries), the advanced country will benefit if it eliminates trade with less developed countries and becomes self sufficient.
In a world where the only goods are cell phones and cereal: Jennereelam can produce: 80m kilos of cereal, and 200k cell phones, while Jonathannadu can produce: 30m kilos of cereal, and 15k cell phones. Even though Jennereelam is a bigger economy and can produce more of each product than Jonathannadu, this guy named Ricardo insists that they will both benefit if they trade. What is Ricardo's argument called, and why does he make the claim?
If countries specialize according to their absolute advantage then the Ricardian model statesthata. the. trade is beneficial for all trade partners.b. trade is a stupid idea anyway.c.it is ambiguous whether trade is beneficial for all trade partners.d. trade is only beneficial for those who have absolute advantage as well
a.) Looking at these graphs, suppose that the good 'X' is labour-intensive, while 'Y' is capital-intensive. Which nation is relatively more capital abundant? Why? b.) What is likely to happen to wages in the capital abundant nation when it trades with other nations? c.) Will the outcome of the above question change if capital was immobile in the nation?
Two workers are currently trying to produce both pens and pencils for a company named We R' Write. Worker A can produce 100 pencils per day or 50 pens. Worker B can produce 100 pencils per day or 20 pens. If the workers continue to try and produce both, how many pencils will each worker produce, and how many pens will each worker produce? What is the opportunity cost of producing pencils and for producing pens for each worker? After specialization, how many pencils will be made in total by both workers? After specialization, how many pens will be made in total by both workers? What is the difference in the total number of pencils made by both workers after specialization? What is the difference in the total number of pens made by both workers after specialization?
Using the one factor Ricardian model concept and the unit labor requirements information in the table below, determine d) In what commodity production, foreign has a comparative advantage.Explain.e) Which country has an absolute advantage. Explainf) If PC is the price of Cheese and PW is the price of Wine, and PC = PW, thenWhat commodities will domestic specialize in?g) If PC is the price of Cheese and PW is the price of Wine, and PC = PW, thenwhat commodities will foreign specialize in?h) Using the comparative advantage information above, determine the commodity thatexported and imported by domestic and foreign respectively?i) If PC = PW or PC/PW = 1, what is the gain from trade obtaineddomestic and foreign if each country specializes inwhich production has a comparative advantage? Explain.j) If if PC = PW = $9, what is the wage relative to trade.Which country's workforce benefits from the trade?
First state if true or false then always explain your answer please. a) A curved PPF is the result of different factor endowments for the two countries. b) Technology assumption is the same both in Classical and HO Model. c) The workers will oppose free trade in a labor abundant country.
Which statements are true or false? 1. S1: The equilibrium nations want to achieve ideally is the stableequilibrium. S2: The general idea of an equilibrium is one in which allparticipants are doing what is best for them, given what they expect othersto do, which in turn matches what others are actually doing.
Let suppose in the world there is two-country, Country X and Country Y. In country X there is only one worker A while in country Y the worker is B. And both can produce sugar and wheat. But the country B is specialized in producing wheat and the other one in sugar. Suppose that the A and the Beach work 40 hours a week and can devote this time to growing sugar, raising wheat, or a combination of the both. Person A can produce a pound of sugar in 10 hours and a pound of wheat in 20 hours. The B, who is more productive in both activities, can produce a pound of Sugar in 8 hours and a pound of meat in 1 hour. (a) Draw the Production Possibilities Frontiers for both workers? (b) Whose have an absolute and comparative advantage? (c) Why they move toward trade? (d) Graphically shows the gain from trade.
