- Consider a two country, two goods, one factor (labor) model of international trade. Suppose home country require 1 units of labor to produce a unit of cloth and 1 unit of labor to produce a unit of wine (regardless of output levels). Foreign country requires 2 unit of labor to produce 1 unit of cloth and 1.5 units of labor to produce 1 unit of wine (regardless of output levels). (a) Which country has the comparative advantage in producing wine? Justify your answer. (b) Which country has the absolute advantage in producing wine? (c) Which country will have higher autarky price of wine in terms of cloth?Consider a two country, two goods, one factor (labor) model of international trade. Suppose home country require 1 units of labor to produce a unit of cloth and 1 unit of labor to produce a unit of wine (regardless of output levels). Foreign country requires 2 unit of labor to produce 1 unit of cloth and 1.5 units of labor to produce 1 unit of wine (regardless of output levels). (a) Which country has the comparative advantage in producing wine? Justify your answer. (b) Which country has the absolute advantage in producing wine? (c) Which country will have higher autarky price of wine in terms of cloth? (d) Suppose after trade, the international relative price settles at a level strictly between the autarky relative prices of the two countries. At the trade equilibrium, show which country will produce wine and which country will produce cloth.Argentina and Brazil are considering the potential gains of trade. There is only one factor of production: labor. There are only two goods being produced in either economy: coffee and wine. Argentina can employ 10,000 hours of labor per month. Producing 1 lb. of coffee requires 2 hours of labor, and producing 1 bottle of wine requires 4 hours of labor, in Argentina. Similarly, Brazil can employ 10,000 hours of labor per month. Producing 1 lb. of coffee requires 1 hour of labor, and producing 1 bottle of wine requires 5 hours of labor, in Brazil. A). Which country has an absolute advantage in the production of coffee? B). Which country has an absolute advantage in the production of wine? C). Draw the Production Possibilities Frontier for the two countries.
- Which of the following describe technical barrier to trade? Select all that apply. Government controls imposed on the flow of capital into or out of the country ☐ Two prospective trading partners being very distant from one another O Trading partners struggling to made trade deals because of the inability to communicate seamlessly and effectively ☐ Imposition by a country of a numerical limit on how much sugar can be imported under a low tariff ☐ Agricultural subsidies provided by the U.S. government to corn farmers Two countries agreeing to eliminate all tariffs on goods traded between themSuppose France charges 2 Euros tariff on imports of a particular product. It can domestically produce this product at 8 Euros. There are only 2 other countries that produce this product: Turkey at 7 Euros, and Brazil at 5 Euros. Without any regional integration agreement, France would consume (French/Brazilian/Turkish) products. When it enters into a customs union agreement with Turkey, it would consume (French/Brazilian/Turkish) products. This is (beneficial/harmful) to the economies involved.Economic integration is now a common practice around the world. The world is currently divided into four blocs – namely North American Free Trade Alliance, European Union, Asian Pacific Rim, and the rest of the world. The rest of the world are those countries that have no power to impact the world market. Explain why the rest of the world may affect trade given the recent wave of technology and COVID-19. Do you think trade diversification, creation, and retaliation may have an impact on trade flows? If so explain.
- Create a diagram similar to Figure 1.4 in which demand in both countries is identical and trade arises because of differences in supply. Do another diagram in which supply is identical across nations but differences in demand lead to trade.choose two transactions at random that result from international tradeIf Argentina imports manufacturing parts from Guatemala, and Guatemala imports delivery trucks from Argentina, how could you best describe the pattern of trade? Group of answer choices Guatemala must have an absolute advantage in producing manufacturing parts. The opportunity cost of producing delivery trucks is higher in Argentina than it is in Guatemala. Argentina is protecting its delivery truck production industry. The opportunity cost of producing manufacturing parts in Argentina is higher than it is in Guatemala.
- 30. If the Portuguese were to insist on consuming 90 bottles of wine, what does that imply for trade between these countries? There would be no trade. The Portuguese would be consuming beyond their production possibilities frontier. The English would benefit from producing their own wine. Both countries would benefit more. None of the above.A country will gain relatively more from trade whenA) the world price is much greater than the country's opportunity cost for the good.B) the world price is below the country's opportunity cost of the good.C) the world price is close to the country's opportunity cost of the good.D) trade is regulated.Consider the Heckscher-Ohlin model of international trade. There are two goods, shoes and computers, produced with labour and capital. The production process features diminishing returns to each factor of production. The production of shoes is labour-intensive and the production of computers is capital-intensive. There are two countries, the UK and India. Denote the labour force and the capital stock of the UK and India by LUK and KUK, and LIN and KIN , respectively. The UK is capital-abundant and India is labour abundant. Describe India’s factor markets: on a graph with the labour-capital ratio (L/K) on the horizontal axis and the wage-rental ratio (W/R) on the vertical axis, depict India’s no-trade economy-wide relative demand (RD) and relative supply (RS) of labour-to-capital. Show the no-trade equilibrium wage-rental ratio.
