In the H-O model, a country that exports one product and imports a different product is called inter-industry trade. Although there is substantial inter-industry trade in the world, Intra-industry trade is also important today. Interpret what intra-industry trade is and demonstrate it with a product with two (2) trading countries and show how they can benefit from it.

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.

When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods.

This matrix involves 2 countries exchanging 2 commodities Wheat (Labor hours/Unit of Output ) Steel (Labor hours/Unit of Output) Germany 30 40 France 20 80 (Numerical values reflect labor hours per unit of output) Will trade occur? Identify the country having the advantage in wheat production and the one having the advantage in steel production. Identify the production possibility frontiers for both countries. along with the gains from trade.
In a world where transporting goods and services across borders is costless, it becomes much easier for firms to access foreign markets. This would eliminate a major barrier that many companies face when considering international expansion. Firms can now export their products to foreign markets without worrying about expensive shipping costs, making it financially viable to target new customers in different countries. The absence of trade barriers, such as tariffs, quotas, and regulatory restrictions, further enhances the feasibility of international expansion. Trade barriers typically increase the cost of doing business across borders and can limit market access. With no such barriers, firms can freely engage in cross-border trade, increasing their market reach and diversifying their customer base. In a world with significant variations in factor conditions, such as labor, capital, natural resources, technology and infrastructure, firms can benefit from international expansion by…
As per Ricardo, a nation has a comparative advantage in the production of a commodity in which it has Select one: a) Greater disadvantage b) Lesser disadvantage c) Greater advantage d) Lesser advantage e) Equal 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 ?
