In the Specific Factors Model, assume that in Country A, "wheat" is produced by using land and labor, "leather" is produced by using capital and labor. Assume that price of leather (PL) increases by 7% while and price of wheat (Pw) stays constant. Wage rate (increases by 7 percent / decreases by 7 percent /increases by less than 7 percent/ increases by more than 7 percent/ decreases by less than 7 percent / decreases by more than 7 percent)

Consider an H-O economy in which there are two countries (US and France), two goods (wine and cheese) and two factors (capital and labor). In each question below you are given partial information about the model and asked to infer some other part. Treat each question separately and independently. 1. Suppose a decrease in the price of cheese causes a decrease in the wage rate in the US economy. Which factor is used intensively in cheese production in France? Which H-O theorem is used to get this answer? Explain. 2. Suppose France exports wine, the capital-intensive good. Which factor benefits from free trade in the US? Explain. 3. Suppose workers in France benefit when tariffs are increased on cheese imports. Which factor is used intensively in cheese production? What is France's abundant factor? Explain.

Show the necessary graphs to fully explain all requested effects. Ensure to label graphs andgive brief detailed explanations. "Assume that Trinbago is a small country that produces wine and motor vehicles, where motorvehicles 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."
Question 2 In answering the question, you should emphasize the line of reasoning that generated your results; it is not enough to list the results of your analysis. Include correctly labeled diagrams, if useful or required, in explaining your answer. A correctly labeled diagram must have all axes and curves clearly labeled and must show directional changes.

Ghana’s government wants to shift from agriculture to manufacturing. To do so, the government plans to implement a policy of import substitution industrialization (ISI). About half of Ghana’s population depends on agriculture, but Ghana still imports some of its food. The majority of Ghana's people live in rural areas and exist on a subsistence way of life. Ghana has one of the highest rates of income inequality in the world. Nearly half of the population is employed in agriculture. Ghana’s president’s ISI strategy is to ask Switzerland to adopt a voluntary export restraint (VER). He believes that this is likely to increase Ghanaian welfare. Using two diagrams (one for each country) explain the Ghanaian welfare consequences of this policy.
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. What recommendations would you give?
cost data:Assembly: Total cost of production = 400Earnings of High-Skilled Labor = 100Earnings of Low-Skilled Labor = 200Earnings of Capital = 100R&D: Total cost of production = 400Earnings of High-Skilled Labor = 175Earnings of Low-Skilled Labor = 125Earnings of Capital = 100A) In which factor is assembly intensive? In which factor is R&D intensive? Suppose that due to the opening of trade, the price of assembly falls by −20%, the price of R&Dremains unchanged, 0%, and capital’s share earnings remains constant. What has happened to the relative wage of high-skilled/low-skilled labor? Does this match the predictions of the offshoring model?
