M2, Every country can produce two goods-masks and wheat, using only their citizens' time. Consider the countries of Northumbria and Wessex. ● ● . a) There is no trade. Northumbria produces more masks this year compared to last year because of a plague. Assume that the number of people in Northumbria and the time they spend in production stays the same during the plague. Claim: As Northumbria can increase mask production, it was not producing efficiently pre-plague. Agree, Disagree or It depends? Explain your reasoning. A diagram is not an explanation. Your explanation needs to be sufficient without a diagram. b) The plague is over. Northumbria trades with Wessex. With trade, Northumbria produces only wheat, and Wessex produces both wheat and masks. Claim: Wessex does not benefit from trade with Northumbria as it produces both goods. A country can only benefit from trade if it is fully specialized. Agree, Disagree or It depends? Explain your reasoning. A diagram is not an explanation. Your explanation needs to be sufficient without a. diagram.... c) Northumbria continues to trade with Wessex. A drop in Viking raids increases Wessex's productivity in wheat production. Claim: Wessex will now specialize in wheat production. Agree, Disagree or It depends? Explain your reasoning.
