4. Assume a two-country two-good two-input model. Let the countries in the model be Vietnam andMyanmar and the goods be shirts and natural gas. The two factors of production are labor and land.Further, Vietnam is labor-abundant and shirts production is labor-intensive. Suppose, in the absenceof trade, Vietnam operates at a point on its production-possibility curve where it produces andconsumes 20 units of shirts and 25 units of natural gas. Once it engages in free trade, the internationalprice of one unit of natural gas is .8 units of a shirt. In response to the opening of trade, Vietnammoves along its production-possibility curve to a new point where it produces 100 units of shirts and10 units of natural gas. Assume that with free trade, Vietnam chooses to consume 52 units of shirtsand chooses to trade all of its remaining surplus of shirts.a. Demonstrate the gains to trade for Vietnam.

5) Suppose that the United States has an absolute advantage over Mexico in producing both agriculturaland manufactured goods. In the U. S., the opportunity cost of 1 unit of agricultural output is 2 units ofmanufactured goods. In Mexico, the opportunity cost of 1 unit of agricultural output is 1.5 units ofmanufactured goods. Total production in the U. S. and Mexico will be maximized ifa. the U. S. specializes in both types of outputb. Mexico specializes in both types of outputc. the U. S. specializes in agricultural goods and Mexico specializes in manufacturedgoodsd. the U.

What factors does Paul Krugman identity that supported expanding international trade in the 1800s?
Table 33.15 shows how the average costs of production for semiconductors (the chips In computer memories) change as the quantity of semiconductors built at that factory increases. Based on these data, sketch a curve with quantity produced on the horizontal axis and average cost of production on the vertical axis. How does the curve illustrate economies of scale? If the equilibrium quantity of semiconductors demanded is 90,000, can this economy take full advantage of economies of scale? What about if quantity demanded is 70,000 semiconductors? 50,000 semiconductors? 30,000 semiconductors? Explain how international trade could make it possible for even a small economy to take full advantage of economies of scale, while also benefiting from competition and the variety offered by several producers.
The idea that an action should be undertaken if and only if the benefits exceed the costs is known as the concept of Oeconomic efficiency. O public welfare maximization. marginal comparative advantage. O monetary construction of values.
