In the following table, select the amount of each good that each country exports and Imports In the boxes across the row marked "Trade Action," and enter each country's final consumption of each good on the line marked "Consumption." When the two countries did not specialize, the total production of jeans was 17 million palrs per week, and the total production of rye was 46 million bushels per week. Because of specialization, the total production of jeans has increased by 3 million pairs per week, and the total production of rye has increased by 18 million bushels per week. Because the two countries produce more jeans and more rye under specialization, each country is able to gain from trade. Calculate the gains from trade-that is, the amount by which each country has increased its consumption of each good relative to the first row of the table. In the following table, enter this difference in the boxes across the last row (marked "Increase in Consumption"). Dolorium Arcadia Jeans Rye…
3. Gains from trade Consider two neighboring island countries called Felicidad and Arcadia. They each have 4 million labor hours available per month that they can use to produce jeans, corn, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or corn that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Jeans Corn Country (Pairs per hour of labor) (Bushels per hour of labor) Felicidad 5 20 Arcadia 8 16 Initially, suppose Arcadia uses 1 million hours of labor per month to produce jeans and 3 million hours per month to produce corn, while Felicidad uses 3 million hours of labor per month to produce jeans and 1 million hours per month to produce corn. Consequently, Felicidad produces 15 million pairs of jeans and 20 million bushels of corn, and Arcadia produces 8 million pairs of jeans and 48 million bushels of corn. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of jeans and…

The United States and Canada have the production possibilities curves shown above. It is determined that the United States has the comparative advantage in peanuts. Will both nations gain from trade if the terms of trade that are offered are 1 Peanut= 3 Corn? Why or why not? Show your work.
9. Gains from trade Aa Aa Consider two neighboring island countries called Euphoria and Arcadia. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce rye, jeans, or a combination of both. The following table shows the quantity of rye or jeans that can be produced using one hour of labor. Rye Jeans (Bushels per hour of labor) (Pairs per hour of labor) Euphoria 5 20 Arcadia 16 Initially, suppose Arcadia uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce rye and 3 million hours per week to produce jeans, while Euphoria uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce rye and 1 million hours per week to produce jeans. Consequently, Euphoria produces 15 million bushels of rye and 20 million pairs of jeans, and Arcadia produces 8 million bushels of rye and 48 million pairs of jeans. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the quantity of rye and jeans it produces.…

You are watching the nightly news. A political candidate being interviewed says, "I'm for free trade, but it must be fair trade. If our foreign competitors will not raise their environmental regulations, reduce subsidiaries to their export industries, and lower tariffs on their imports of our goods, we should retaliate with tariffs and import quotas on there goes to show them that we won't be played for fools!"

How does specialization and trade make individuals and countries wealthier? Think about why countries benefit from foreign trade. Also consider a scenario where Country A is more productive than Country B at producing all goods. Why is it still in Country A’s best interest to trade with Country B?
