Consider the Heckscher-Ohlin model of international trade. There are two goods, shoes and computers, produced with labour and capital. The production process features diminishing returns to each factor of production. The production of shoes is labour-intensive and the production of computers is capital-intensive. There are two countries, the UK and India. Denote the labour force and the capital stock of the UK and India by LUK and KUK, and LIN and KIN , respectively. The UK is capital-abundant and India is labour abundant. Describe India’s factor markets: on a graph with the labour-capital ratio (L/K) on the horizontal axis and the wage-rental ratio (W/R) on the vertical axis, depict India’s no-trade economy-wide relative demand (RD) and relative supply (RS) of labour-to-capital. Show the no-trade equilibrium wage-rental ratio.
Assume two countries, Thailand (T) and Japan (J), have one good: cameras. The demand (d) and supply (s) for cameras in Thailand and Japan is described by the following functions: QdT = 60 – P; QsT = –5 + 1/4 P; QdJ = 80 – P; QsJ = –10 + 1/2 P. P is the price measured in a common currency used in both countries, such as the Thai Baht. a. Compute the equilibrium price (P) and quantities (Q) in each country without trade. b. Now assume that free trade occurs. The free trade price goes to 56.36 Baht. Who exports and imports cameras and in what quantities?
Assume that the comparative-cost ratios of two products—baby formula and tuna fish—are as follows in the nations of Canswicki and Tunata: Canswicki: 1 can baby formula ≡ 5 cans tuna fish Tunata: 1 can baby formula ≡ 7 cans tuna fish a. In what product should each nation specialize? Canswicki should produce _____- , and Tunata should produce _____ b. Would the following terms of trade be acceptable to both nations? i. 1 can baby formula ≡ 4 cans tuna fish: yes or no ii. 1 can baby formula ≡ 8 cans tuna fish: yes or no iii. 1 can baby formula ≡ 5.5 cans tuna fish: yes or no
Suppose you are hired as a consultant by the government to determine the impact of trade policies. The government is suggesting a 10% nominal tariff on imported cars in order to limit competition against domestically assembled cars that incorporates only about 20 percent of domestic inputs in its total inputs. Discuss nominal tariffs and effective tariff rates. How much is the effective tariff rate? Why is the effective tariff rate different than the nominal tariff rate? Suppose the currency depreciation would lead to a higher price in the free market. However, the government wants to maintain the same amount of final price after tariffs. Determine the impact on the nominal tariff rate.
Consider a two country, two goods, one factor (labor) model of international trade. Suppose home country require 1 units of labor to produce a unit of cloth and 1 unit of labor to produce a unit of wine (regardless of output levels). Foreign country requires 2 unit of labor to produce 1 unit of cloth and 1.5 units of labor to produce 1 unit of wine (regardless of output levels). (a) Which country has the comparative advantage in producing wine? Justify your answer. (b) Which country has the absolute advantage in producing wine? (c) Which country will have higher autarky price of wine in terms of cloth? (d) Suppose after trade, the international relative price settles at a level strictly between the autarky relative prices of the two countries. At the trade equilibrium, show which country will produce wine and which country will produce cloth.
Suppose the Canadian government imposed import quotas on agricultural products. According to the foreign-currency exchange market diagram, which of the following outcomes would most likely result? a. Only the supply curve would shift right. b. Both the demand and supply curves would shift left. c. Only the demand curve would shift right. d. Both the demand and supply curves would shift right.
Consider the two countries of Syria and UAE. A business man wants to do trade between the two countries. If Syria produces maximum of 2 million kilograms of tomato and maximum of 4000 kilograms of Halwa, then draw the production possibility frontier What is the absolute value of the slope of this production possibility frontier? In the 2-factor, 2-good Heckscher-Ohlin model, why the two countries are different? What will happen when Syria's currency depreciates? What type of contract is he involved if he negotiates over the exchange rate for 30 days in future?
domestic supply and demand of rice is given by the following equations: QD=200–10p QS=20p–100 The world price of rice is pW=8 and is unaffected by the domestic market. (a) Suppose there are no trade barriers for importing or exporting rice. Find the resulting price, quantity purchased by consumers, quantity produced domestically, and the quantity of imports or exports. (b) What is the resulting consumer and producer surplus (domestic)? (c) If all international trade of rice is banned (no imports or exports allowed), what is the resulting domestic price and quantity? (d) What is the resulting CS and PS under the ban? What is the deadweight loss?
