Suppose Egypt wants to open its trade borders tothe world market for natural gas. What will determine whether Egypt becomes a net-exporter ornet-importer of natural gas? If Egypt becomes anet-exporter, will domestic supply be equal to, lessthan, or greater than domestic demand?
home cheese alc=1hr/kg wine alw=2hrs/gallon foreign cheese alc*=6hrs/kg wine alw*=3hrs/gallon Calculate the Home country's opportunity cost of producing cheese. In which product does the Home (Foreign* ) country has an absolute advantage? Show in which product does the Home (Foreign* ) country has comparative advantage? Calculate the relative supply (RS) With trade, what is the equilibrium range that the relative price of cheese to wine will settle? Supposing that the intersection of RS and RD occurs at PC /PW = 1, what is the implication?

The country Autarka does not allow international trade.In Autarka, you can buy a wool suit for 3 ounces ofgold. Meanwhile, in neighboring countries, you can buythe same suit for 2 ounces of gold. This suggests thata. Autarka has a comparative advantage inproducing suits and would become a suitexporter if it opened up trade.b. Autarka has a comparative advantage inproducing suits and would become a suitimporter if it opened up trade.c. Autarka does not have a comparative advantagein producing suits and would become a suitexporter if it opened up trade.d.

Consider a small country that exports steel. Supposethat a ''pro--trade'' government decides to subsidizethe <:xport of s teel by paying a certain amount for eachton sold abroad. How docs this export subsidy affectthe domestic price of steel, the quantity of steel produced,the quantity of steel consunuxS, and the quantityof steel exported? How docs it affect consumersurplus, producer surplus, g·ovemment revenue, andtolal surplus? Is it a good policy from the standpointof oconomic efficiency? (Hint: The analysis of anexport subsidy is similar to the analysis of a tariff.)
Two countries, Korea and Vietnam, are engaging in international trade.They produce two goods: automobiles and cloth. We observe a relativeabundance of cheap labor in Vietnam and a relative abundance of capitalin South Korea. a. Assume that automobiles are capital-intensive and cloth are cheaplabor-intensive. Using the Hecksher-Ohlin theory, explain what willhappen in trade between these two countries, in terms of export andimport. c. Draw a graph that shows the above situation in South Korean economy with a P P F and two relative prices (one before trade and theother after trade). The quantity of automobiles (QAuto) is on thehorizontal axis and the quantity of cloth (QCloth) is on the verticalaxis.

Pat and Chris can spend their nonleisure time working either in the marketplace or at home (preparing dinner, taking care of children, doing repairs). In the marketplace, Pat earns a higher wage, wp= $20, than Chris, wc= $10. a. Show their combined budget constraint and identify who has the comparative in working in the marketplace and who has a comparative advantage in working at home. b. Discuss how living together can affect how much each of them works in the marketplace. Can you think of a shock that would significantly affect their choices? Briefly explain the shock and its effects. Illustrate your answer with a numerical example different from the textbook solution.
Suppose an economyuses two resorces (labor and capital) to produce two goods (wheat and cloth). Captial is relativley more useful in prducing cloth, and labor ir relativley more useful in prducing wheat. If the supply of cpatial falls by 10% and the suppy of labor increases by 10%, how will the PPF for wheat and cloth change?
Brazil is one of the world’s largest exporters of beef and China is a major purchaser of that beef (an estimated 30% of China’s beef imports in 2016 came from Brazil). However, in March 2017, China, South Korea, the European Union, and Chile suspended imports of meat products from Brazil as a precautionary measure in response toallegations that meat inspectors and politicians had received bribes to overlook improper meat packing practices and allow sales of tainted food. How would the closing of export markets for a country’s beef products together with a fall in domestic sales of beef products and an increase in the domestic equilibrium quantity be reflected in supply-anddemand diagrams of that country’s foreign and domestic markets for beef in the short run?
Suppose that Egypt produces cotton and lamb, and that it has comparative advantage in cotton. Draw Eqypt's non-linear (i.e., concave) PPF and FTBL, with cotton on the horizontal axis and lamb on the vertical axis. Be sure to label the axes, the PPF, the FTBL and the autarky and free trade prices. Also show the quantities of imports and exports. (Note, there are no values for the prices, so just show the price ratio and how it's represented in the graph.)
