5. The price of trade Suppose that Italy and Switzerland both produce jeans and stained glass. Italy's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained glass is 3 pairs of jeans while Switzeriand's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained glass is 9 pairs of jeans. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing stained glass in the two countries, you can tell that has a comparative advantage in the production of stained glass and has a comparative advantage in the production of jeans. Suppose that Italy and Switzerland consider trading stained glass and jeans with each other. Italy can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of jeans for each pane of stained glass it exports to Switzerland.

5. The price of trade Suppose that Ireland and Liechtenstein both produce beets and wheat. Ireland's opportunity cost of producing a bushel of wheat is 5 bushels of beets while Liechtenstein's opportunity cost of producing a bushel of wheat is 11 bushels of beets. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing wheat in the two countries, you can tell that Ireland production of wheat and Liechtenstein has a comparative advantage in the production of beets. Suppose that Ireland and Liechtenstein consider trading wheat and beets with each other. Ireland can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of beets for each bushel of wheat it exports to Liechtenstein.

9. Answer ALL parts of this question. Consider the standard trade model with two goods and two factors, labour and capital. (a) Suppose that a country experiences an increase in its labour force. Assume thatgood X is labour intensive and good Y is capital intensive. How would theproduction possibility frontier change as a result? Illustrate this with a simplediagram. (b) What does it mean for the “terms of trade” to improve and why might this matter interms of welfare? (c) Consider two countries: Home and Foreign. Each country produces two goods,cloth (C) and food (F). Assume Home is an exporter of cloth. Now suppose Homeimposes a 20 percent tariff on the value of food imports. What will be the effect ofthe food tariff on the relative price of cloth and terms of trade? Illustrate youranswer with a relevant diagram. You may assume that Home is large enough toaffect the world market.
