Transcribed Image Text:Question 3
How does the Specific-Factors model discussed in this chapter differ from the Ricardian model we
covered in Chapter 2?
The Ricardian model assumes labor is the only factor of production, while the Specific-Factor model assumes
labor, land, and capital are all factors of production.
The Factor-Specific model assumes constant opportunity cost, while the Ricardian model does not.
O The Specific-Factor model contends that trade generates gains for some factors and losses for others. On the
other hand, the Ricardian model assumes trade generated gains for all workers.
O The PPF in the Specific-Factors model is bowed outwards, while in the Ricardian model it is a straight line.
