Try to describe the global economic crisis on world trade and commodity prices because of the COVID and use the Stopler-Samuelson theorem to predict the effect on income distribution in Australia. It should be imagined Australia is a specific factor economy with 'mining' in Queensland and Western Australia on the one hand, and a sector included manufacturing, agriculture and services in the other states. Assume that there is mobile labour between these two sectors, that there is no unemployment, and that Australia is a price taker for its exports.
- Ricardian Model) In class we worked through the trade example where Home had a comparative advantage in cheese (alc /alw < alc* /alw*). The result was that world price ratio was between the autarky price ratios of the two countries. We showed for the Home country that the opening of trade resulted in the workers’ real wage in terms of cheese remaining the same while the real wage in terms of wine increased. (There is no need to use diagrams to answer the questions below.) (a) With the opening of trade what will the nominal wage W* be in the Foreign country? (You will not be able to find a numerical value here.) Briefly explain. (b) What will happen with the opening of trade to the Foreign country’s real wage in terms of cheese and wine? Briefly explainConsider the production productivity matrix of two goods from the US and India: United States of America India Labor force 200 800 Labor per unit corn 8 50 Labor per unit automobile 10 40 6. In India, how many units of corn is it willing to give-up to produce a unit of automobile? Group of answer choices 0.8 1.25 Both 0.8 and 1.25 Not enough data 7. The US, to achieve comparative advantage in producing a unit of corn, need to give-up how many unit(s) of automobile? Group of answer choices 0.8 1.25 Both 0.8 and 1.25 Not enough data(Comparative Advantage) Suppose that each US worker can produce 8 units of food or 2 units of clothing daily. In Fredonia, which has the same number of workers, each worker can produce 7 units of food or 1 unit of clothing daily. Why does the US have an absolute advantage in both goods? Which country enjoys a comparative advantage in food? Why?
