Assume that a country with a market economy produces capital goods and consumer goods, use the data that follows to answer the question that follows: Capital Goods Consumer Goods 50 0 40 20 30 35 20 45 10 50 0 51 Does the “law” of increasing opportunity cost apply in the…
Assume Mexico has the production possibilities to produce either 50 bottles of milk or 50 cartons of eggs using 100 worker hours. If Mexico decides to produce 30 bottles of milk, how many cartons of eggs can it produce? Place the moveable point at the coordinate that shows this production possibility. Make sure that the point's coordinates are exactly correc t.
The Heckscher-Ohlin model predicts that trade in goods leads to convergence in prices of factors between different countries. True False
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.
How do you know that the equillibrium prices are lower, the quantities produced are higher and the profits produced are lower in the merged scenario

The gravity model is frequently used to explain why two countries do not trade. Give examples and causes for this abnormality.
Describe (in symbols) the datum and variables of the economy. Express the definition of the Walrasian equilibrium for this economy using vector notation.
The Gravity model predicts that two countries trade more the bigger they are and the closer they are to the equator. True False
The gravity model implies that lower distance between two countries is associated to more trade between and higher tax revenue in both countries more trade between and higher welfare in both countries more trade between the countries and higher welfare in at least one of the countries None of the above.
The determinants of productivity Consider a simple economy whose only industry is fishing. In this industry, productivity—the amount of goods and services a worker can produce per hour—is measured by the number of fish one fisherman catches per hour. In the following table, match each example to the productivity determinant it represents. Examples Human Capital per Worker Natural Resources per Worker Physical Capital per Worker Technological Knowledge The fertile waters in which the fish feed and breed An advanced mapping system that determines the likelihood of finding fish schools in different depths and locations The skills workers develop through training before working on and piloting boats The boats in the fishing fleet
East Asian economies have expanded their proportion of global GDP over the last few decades. Likewise, intra-East Asian trade — that is, trade between East Asian countries – has increased as a share of global trade. Furthermore, East Asian countries are growing their commerce with one another. By using gravity model, explain why.
