Consider two outcomes in a pure exchange economy: Outcomes 1 and 2. Outcome 1 is Pareto efficient. Outcome 2 is not Pareto efficient. If outcome 2 (not pareto efficient) moves to outcome 1 (pareto efficient), is it true that moving from outcome 2 ( outcome 2 is not pareto efficient) to outcome 1 (outcome 1 is pareto efficient) is a pareto improvement?

In the Pure Specific Factors model with two sectors, Cars (C) and Wheat (W), Capital (K) is specific to C and Land (A) is specific to W. The government imposes a tariff on the imports of W then owners of A benefit. Why is this so ?
explains that specialization and trade makes people (and the world) better off. Please explain this in your own words and give one example each, one from the film and one of your own that helps clarify the importance of specialization and trade as key underpinnings of successful economic systems.
Suppose that there are two countries, the North and the South. Given the North's resources, it can produce 4 Cars in an hour or 1 unit of wheat in an hour. Given the South's resources, it can produce 1 car per hour or 4 units of wheat in an hour. Both countries have forty hours in total to produce wheat and cars. Finally, the goal of each country is to have the most possible cars and wheat, but also to always have an equal amount of each. In other words, 10 cars and 10 wheat is just as valuable as 11 cars and 10 units of wheat, or 10 cars and 11 units of wheat, but 11 cars and 11 wheat would make the country even better off. The question below relates to the PPF for the North and the South. While you do not need to turn in a graph of the PPF, they may be helpful to answer these questions. Finally, the first set of questions refers to a world where the North and South cannot trade, while the second set of questions refers to a world where they can trade. In the latter set of…
In the specific factor model with labour as a mobile factor, introducing trade lowers the welfare of workers increases output and consumption in the world. increases the welfare of all the owners of specific factors in Home. induces a Pareto improvement for the economy that exports more.
As you may have heard, Russia decided to invade its neighbor, which has led to international condemnation (albeit not on all fronts). The EU, a former major importer of gas from Russai, went ahead with sanctions. Imagine, if you will, that the respective heads of state get together and try to negotiate a trade agreement to end sanctions. They each have three possible choices: (a) Maintain tariffs against the other nation (T); (b) Seek mediation from the WTO, which would implement an international trade agreement at a small cost (M); (c) Unilaterally remove tariffs (F). The payoff matrix is as given below. Is there a dominant strategy for either player? Find all the (pure strategy) Nash equilibria in the game. How would this change if, instead, the mediation is costless and yields a payoff of 50 to each nation (assuming mutually successful mediation) and a payoff of 0 (if the other nation chooses otherwise)? **
When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFs) for Glacier and Rainier. Both countries produce corn and basil, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 18 million pounds of corn and 9 million pounds of basil, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.

Consider the specific factors model. There are two countries (Home and Foreign), two industries (Manufacturing and Agriculture) and three factors (labour, land, and capital.) Assume that home has comparative advantage in agriculture. Using a figure, show the impact of trade on earnings of labour, capital and land. Who will be in favour of trade and who will be against it?
Suppose you have a team of two workers: one is a baker and one is a chef. Your baker is talented but is inexperienced. Your chef is not only an elite chef but is also faster at baking. If your kitchen specialized according to absolute advantage, who would do the cooking? Who would do the baking? If your kitchen specialized according to comparative advantage, who would do the cooking? Who would do the baking? Which approach above is more efficient? Explain your answer.
