Please show work with explanation! I’m not really sure what to do.
![Heckscher-Ohlin Model and Intertemporal Trade. There are two countries, Brazil and Saudi
Arabia, and two goods, consumption today (Cp) and consumption tomorrow (Cf). Assume Saudi
Arabia “exports" current consumption", and Brazil “exports" future consumption.
a) Which country is a net lender today? Net borrower today? What does that mean in terms
of capital flows between these two countries today? And in terms of their current
accounts today?
b) Graph the intertemporal production possibilities frontier for Brazil under the assumption
above. Toward which good is Brazil's PPF biased?
c) If the world interest rate were r, show, on the graph above, how much current
consumption (Cp) and future consumption (C) Brazil would produce. Label these
quantities qip and qıs.
Cp
d) Show how much current consumption (Cp) and future consumption (C) Brazil consumes
on the graph above. Label these quantities dip and dif. Draw as many indifference curves
as you need to.
e) If the world interest rate increases, show, on the graph above, how the production of
current consumption (Cp) and future consumption (C) would change in Brazil. Label
these quantities q2p and q2f.
f) Show how much how much current consumption (Cp) and future consumption (C)
Brazil consumes now that the world interest rate in higher (i.e, the "tems of trade" have
deteriorated for Brazil). Label these quantities dzp and dzf. Draw as many indifference
curves as you need to.
g) Did the change in the world interest rate, increase or decrease, welfare in Brazil?
h) What happened with the current account and net capital flows today in Brazil after the
world interest rate increased?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F5a4ed3fb-9f81-4b9b-8a04-aebb2da8bc36%2F886759ca-7792-41bd-b88f-dc3b3f5b9598%2F9uqcdws_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
