Assume that there are two Countries, Gabon and Togo. Togo can either produce 100 tons of Palm oil or 120 meters of cloth using their resources to the maximum and most efficiently. Gabon on the other hand can produce either 180 tons of palm oil or 50 meters of cloth using all their resources to the maximum and most efficiently. Assume that both countries experience constant opportunity cost in production: i) Draw PPF for each country placing palm oil on the y-axis. ii) Identify the comparative advantage for each country. Explain in terms of opportunity cost. iii) Indicate the trend of trade if the two countries had to trade
As you may have heard, Russia decided to invade its neighbor, which has led to international condemnation (albeit not on all fronts). The EU, a former major importer of gas from Russai, went ahead with sanctions. Imagine, if you will, that the respective heads of state get together and try to negotiate a trade agreement to end sanctions. They each have three possible choices: (a) Maintain tariffs against the other nation (T); (b) Seek mediation from the WTO, which would implement an international trade agreement at a small cost (M); (c) Unilaterally remove tariffs (F). The payoff matrix is as given below. Is there a dominant strategy for either player? Find all the (pure strategy) Nash equilibria in the game. How would this change if, instead, the mediation is costless and yields a payoff of 50 to each nation (assuming mutually successful mediation) and a payoff of 0 (if the other nation chooses otherwise)? **
Suppose that France and Denmark both produce fish and olives. France's opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 3 pounds of fish while Denmark's opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 11 pounds of fish. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing olives in the two countries, you can tell that has a comparative advantage in the production of olives and has a comparative advantage in the production of fish. Suppose that France and Denmark consider trading olives and fish with each other. France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of fish for each crate of olives it exports to Denmark. Similarly, Denmark can gain from trade as long as it receives more than of olives for each pound of fish it exports to France. Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of olives in terms of fish) would allow both Denmark and France to gain from trade? Check…
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.

Two planets, Endor and Kamino, both produce two goods, blasters and radio devices. The below graphs show the PPF curves of each planet before specialization. Initially, each planet produces 50,000 radio devices and 5,000 blasters. In total, 100,000 radios and 10,000 blasters are produced. Which planet has a comparative advantage in producing radios and which planet has a comparative advantage in producing blasters? If each planet was to fully specialize in producing one good, how many radios in total would be produced and how many blasters in total would be produced? Suppose that the two planets trade 5,000 blasters for 90,000 radios. Graph and label the new points on each planet’s PPF using the graphs above. What is the outcome of specialization and trade for each planet?
When a country has a comparative advantage in the production of a good, it means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partner. Then the country will specialize in the production of this good and trade it for other goods. The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers (PPFs) for Glacier and Rainier. Both countries produce corn and basil, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade) producing 18 million pounds of corn and 9 million pounds of basil, as indicated by the grey stars marked with the letter A.

The U.S. and Canada both produce aircraft engines and tons of chemicals, which are sold for the same price in both countries. Suppose that with one unit of labor and one unit of capital, the U.S. can produce either 20 engines or 38 tons of chemicals and Canada can produce either 15 engines or 35 tons of chemicals. Which country has an absolute advantage producing chemicals?
Explain, with a two-country, two-good model, why the Heckscher-Ohlin model predicts only partial specialisation in the production of two goods, while Ricardo's comparative advantage model predicts full specialisation when opening up to international trade. You can opt to present your explanation with the aid of diagrams.
Assume that two countries Alpha and Beta use a variety of inputs in their production Alpha exports excavating equipment and imports solar cells. Assume furthermore no economies of scale. Select the correct statement from the ones below: Even though there is trade, Alpha has a lower opportunity cost for excavating If the countries did not trade, Alpha would have a lower opportunity cost for excavating Neither country can consume at a point outside its production possibility frontier. Alpha avoids producing solar cells while B avoids producing no excavating
4.3 Suppose that Britain can produce 10 units of cloth or 5 units of food per day (or any linear combination) with available resources and that Greece can produce 2 units of food per day or 1 unit of cloth (or any combination). Britain has an absolute advantage over Greece in producing both goods. Does it still make sense for these countries to trade? Explain.
Answer the next question(s) on the basis of the following information. Assume that by devoting all its resources to the production of X, nation Alpha can produce 40 units of X. By devoting all its resources to Y, Alpha can produce 60Y. Comparable figures for nation Beta are 60X and 40Y. Refer to the above information. The terms of trade will be at or within the 1X=1¹/2Y to 1X = ²/3Y range. Select one: True False
advantage. The countries decide to exchange 24 million pounds of peas for 24 million pounds of pistachios. This ratio of goods is known as the price of trade between Yosemite and Congaree. The following graph shows the same PPF for Yosemite as before, as well as its initial consumption at point A. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate Yosemite's consumption after trade. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes. The following graph shows the same PPF for Congaree as before, as well as its initial consumption at point A. As you did for Yosemite, place a black point (plus symbol) on the following graph to indicate Congaree's consumption after trade.
