a. You work for the U.S. president and are tasked with understanding the effect of population aging in China on trade between China and the U.S. You are told that you can assume that China and the U.S. trade a continuum of goods produced with only labor in both countries. Markets are perfectly competitive and the unit labor requirements differ across goods and countries. Use a suitable diagram to illustrate the effect of a decline in labor L in China on a) the set of goods made in China; b) the relative (nominal) wage in the two countries. Explain the intuition behind your findings.

Assume a Ricardian model. The following table shows the amount of output produced by each unit of labor in Germany and France and also the amount of labor available in those countries. Wheat (W) Computers (C) France 5 8 Germany 2 4 (a) Under free trade each country completely specializes in the good in which it has comparative advantage. Germany has 90,000 units of labor. Germany consumes 105,000 tons of wheat whether it is in autarky (no trade) or in free trade. Suppose under free trade the terms of trade are 1W = 1.75C. How many computers does Germany gain when its economy moves from autarky to free trade? Fermany produces Comparative wheat 525d = 0) once advantage. trade

If one assumes that automobile transportation costs from South Korea to France surpass the price differential in autos that existed before trade between South Korea and France, then, in similar cases trade is:a. Unattainableb. Probablec. Very profitabled. Marginally profitable
One reason that a large share of the trade between high-income industrial economies is intra-industrytrade is becauseA) Intra-industry it is more advantageous than inter-industry tradeB) high-income industrial economies compete with each other with the same good.C) high-income industrial economies have very different factor endowments in absolute terms.D) it allows firms to take advantage of economies of scale.
If firms are in a competitive market, firms use marginal cost=price as a price-setting rule. Why multinational firms do not follow the price-setting rule like the firms in the competitive market (or why exporting firms do not follow the price-setting rule)? Your answer should be based on the characteristic market and the internal economies of scale. What is the price-setting rule for multinational firms?

In Ecuador, cut roses are one of the country’s leading exports. Prior to advancements in the air transportation industry, this would have been impossible as roses must be sold within three to five days once cut. Today Ecuador is one of the world’s top producers of roses. What are the various trade theories that help explain ecuador’s competitive position in exporting roses? Then consider how well the Ecuadorian rose industry has balanced exporting success with socially responsible business practices.
lescription is incorrect ( ) A According to the overlapping demand theory, the intra-industry trade between countries with large income gap will be less. 0307 The theory of comparative advantage helps to explain the intra-industry trade between developed countries. The smaller the difference of factor endowments between two countries, the greater proportion of intra-industry trade should be.
Indian exports of computer software have grown rapidly since the early 2000s. In the early 2000s, the cost to employ programmers in India was about half the cost of programmers with comparable skills in the United States. In 2013 the cost in India was about two-thirds the cost in the United States. What trade theory or theories help us to understand the change?
John Ring, argues that closing the country's borders to international trade will create employment. Use a diagram to explain this scenario.
Problem 2.1: Suppose that Domestic's market demand is given by the equation P = 47 3*Qd and market supply is given by P = 14+ 7*Qs (where P is the price, Qd is the quantity demanded, and Qs is the quantity supplied). Domestic markets are perfectly competitive. Domestic faces export supply given by the equation P = 28 + 0*Qe (where Qe is the quantity exported) and is considering imposing a per-unit import tariff. Calculate consumer surplus in autarky. Please report your answer rounded to two decimal places (e.g., 4.256 becomes 4.26).
