Which of the following is predicted by the models of intraindustry trade we have studied? Countries will export what they have a relatively low opportunity cost of producing and import what they have a high opportunity cost of producing. Trade will either help consumers or help producers in a given industry but never both. Trade may decrease the price and increase the variety in the same industry for two countries that begin to trade.

Which of the below statements does NOT reflect the ideas of Trade and Globalization. In short, with which of the below statements, in one form or the other, DOES NOT match the ideas expressed? Group of answer choices Trade is a zero-sum game. If trade is good for the industrially advanced countries in western Europe and the U.S. it must be bad for the poorer countries in the world. In the late 1970s a major profit-seeking Korean textile producertrying to avoid quotas imposed by Europe and the U.S. upon South Korea, contracted out the production of shirts to a Bangladeshi garment producer. To ensure that the shirts produced would be of global quality the Korean company trained the Bangladeshi workers -thus creating human capital. In recent years, though Bangladesh is still one of the poorer countries in the world, it has also emerged as one of the world's leading garment producers. Cheap exports were the path to prosperity for many Asian economies such as Japan, Singapore,…

Consider the following model of trade between Home and Foreign. Assume throughout that those two countries are the only two countries in the world, at least for purposes of trade. There are two goods: Corn and Radio. Consumers always spend one-third of their income on Corn and the remainder on Radios. The only factor of production is labour. Each home country worker can produce 2 units of Corn or 3 units of Radios per unit of time, while each foreign worker can produce 2 units of Corn or 4 units of Radios per unit of time. There are 30 workers in Home and 60 workers in Foreign. Find the autarky relative price of Radios in both countries (i.e., the price of Radio divided by the price of Corn).
