Suppose two countries, France and Germany, use only capital and labor for production. Factor endowments of the nations are presented in the table below. Capital | Labor France 2200 800 Germany 880 220 a. Which country is labor-abundant? Which country is capital-abundant? b. Assume that both countries produce two goods, cars and wine.

Suppose there is a policy debate over whether the United States should impose trade restrictions on imported ball bearings: A political pundit explains that it is necessary to impose trade restrictions, such as a tariff, on the ball-bearing industry to protect workers in the domestic ball-bearing industry. The pundit claims that without trade protection, there will be layoffs, causing many U.S. workers in the ball-bearing industry to be unemployed. Which of the following justifications is the pundit using to argue for the trade restriction on ball bearings? National security argument Employment argument Cheap foreign labor argument Infant industry argument

The production possibilities frontiers in the figure to the right show how many bananas and coconuts you (Y) and your neighbor (N) can consume without trade Suppose you are initially consuming 14 bananas and 3 coconuts and your neighbor is initially consuming 3 bananas and 9 coconuts. Now, suppose you and your neighbor specialize by each only producing the good for which you have a comparative advantage You give your neighbor half of your production for half of what he produces. (Enter all responses as integers) If you trade with your neighbor, then you will have additional coconut(s) after the trade and additional banana(s) At the same time, your neighbor will be able to consume additional banana(s) and will be as a result of trade.

The following graph shows the market for wheat in Canada, where Dc is the demand curve, Sc is the supply curve, and Pw is the free trade price of wheat. Assume that Canada is a relatively small producer of wheat, so changes in its output do not affect the world price of wheat. Also assume that Canada is currently open to free trade, and domestic consumers are able to purchase wheat at the world price with negligible transportation costs. Suppose a subsidy of $80 per ton is granted to exporters in Canada, allowing them to sell their products abroad at prices below their costs. Assume that trade restrictions are also put in place in order to prevent domestic consumers from buying wheat abroad at the world price. Use the grey line (star symbols) to indicate the world price of wheat plus the subsidy on the following graph. Then use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the price of wheat in Canada and the quantity demanded at that price. Finally, use the tan point (dash symbol) to…
