You are watching the nightly news. A political candidate being interviewed says, "I'm for free trade, but it must be fair trade.

1. Analyze the following two countries with linear production technologies and one factor of production. The production technology is given by the following labor requirements: Hot Dogs (labor per unit) Maple Syrup (labor per gallon) USA Canada 1 3 2 1 Each country has 600 hours of labor. a. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing hot dogs? Explain. b. What is the opportunity cost of hot dogs in the US? In Canada? c. Which country has a comparative advantage in each good? Explain. d. What is the range of prices for each good under which both countries will gain from trade? Explain. e. Suppose that the world price of a unit of hot dogs is 1 gallon of maple syrup. Draw a large, clear new graph for each country (put hot dogs on the X axis) showing the autarky equilibrium and the free trade equilibrium (including the trade triangle showing the levels of imports and exports). f. Who gains from free trade in this model? Briefly explain why or why not.
