Comparative Advantage: Suppose that the United States and Switzerland produce bicycles and chocolate bars: Bicycles per worker/year Chocolate Bars per worker/year 10,000 20,000 Switzerland 1 United States 5 a. The United States has an absolute advantage in both bicycles and chocolate bars, but which country has a comparative advantage producing bicycles? Chocolate bars? b. Assume there are 10,000 workers. Draw the production possibilities frontier for the United States prior to trade. Assume the two countries agree to exchange 7,000 chocolate bars per bicycle. Illustrate the effect of specialization and trade on the U.S. production possibilities frontier (put bicycles on the x-axis and millions of chocolate bars on the y-axis). c. Assume there are 10,000 workers. Draw the production possibilities frontier for Switzerland prior to trade. Assume the two countries agree to exchange 7,000 chocolate bars per bicycle.

1. Analyze the following two countries with linear production technologies and one factor of production. The production technology is given by the following labor requirements: Hot Dogs (labor per unit) Maple Syrup (labor per gallon) USA Canada 1 3 2 1 Each country has 600 hours of labor. a. Which country has the absolute advantage in producing hot dogs? Explain. b. What is the opportunity cost of hot dogs in the US? In Canada? c. Which country has a comparative advantage in each good? Explain. d. What is the range of prices for each good under which both countries will gain from trade? Explain. e. Suppose that the world price of a unit of hot dogs is 1 gallon of maple syrup. Draw a large, clear new graph for each country (put hot dogs on the X axis) showing the autarky equilibrium and the free trade equilibrium (including the trade triangle showing the levels of imports and exports). f. Who gains from free trade in this model? Briefly explain why or why not.
3. The table below shows output per hour worked in production of wheat and cloths in theUnited States and United Kingdom, respectively.US Wheat (bushels per hour) 12 Cloths (yards per hour) 6 UK Wheat (bushels per hour) 6Cloths (yards per hour) 18 Assess all the statements below and judge which of them is true and which is false.Provide a short justification for your assessment.a) The US has an absolute advantage in the production of wheat.b) The UK has an absolute disadvantage in the production of cloths.c) The opportunity cost of cloths in the US is one-half bushels of wheat.d) The UK has an absolute and comparative advantage in cloth, whereas the US a comparativeadvantage in wheat.e) There is no basis for trade between these two countries because the UK would benefit morethan the US.
With a given amount of labor and other resources, producers in the nation of Germany can produce either 100 SUVs or 50 sedans. Thus, two SUVs must be given up to produce each sedan. Using the same amount of labor and resources, producers in Japan can produce 40 SUVs or 40 sedans- so one SUV must be given up for each sedan produced. Based on this information, Japan has a comparative advantage in the production of sedans. () a) True b) False
1-Analyze the following (2x2) matrices. Identify the countries having certain advantages. Moreover, specify the benefits of trade for both countries. A (2x2) matrix involves (2 countries exchanging 2 commodities or products) Matrix A Wheat (bushels/labor Cloth (yards/labor hour) hour) United States U.K. 3. (Numerical values reflect output per unit of input) a. Will trade occur??? Identify the country having the absolute advantage in wheat and the one having the absolute advantage in cloth. b. Identify the production possibility frontiers for both countries. c. Show me the gains of trade if we assume that the U.S. exchanges 6 units of wheat for 6 units of cloth.
Gains and Losses from Trade in the Specific-Factors Model - End of Chapter Problem Home produces two goods, computers and wheat, for which capital is specific to computers, land is specific to wheat, and labor is mobile between the two industries. Home has 100 workers and 100 units of capital but only 10 units of land. a. Suppose that when Home opens up to international trade, the price of computers rises. In the accompanying diagram, shift the appropriate curve to show this change, holding the price of wheat constant. b. The increase in the price of computers causes the Wage amount of labor used in wheat production a given quantity of labor 0 W The amount of labor used in computer production the change in the wage.

In the Heckscher-Ohlin model, suppose the two factors of production are: high-skilled labor (H) and regular labor (L). The two sectors are manufacturing and business services. Manufacturing uses regular labor more intensively, and business services uses high-skilled labor more intensively. The two countries are the U.S. and China, and the U.S. has a comparative advantage in business services. a. Illustrate the effect of opening up to trade on the U.S. with the PPF and indifference curve diagram. Make sure you clearly label everything. What happens to the relative price of business services in the U.S.? Show clearly the gains from trade. b. What happens to the relative wage of high-skilled labor? Does inequality (the skill premium) increase? Show all work and explain. 2. Evidence for or against Heckscher-Ohlin model Leontieff Paradox i. Briefly describe the paradoxii.We discussed several explanations for the paradoxical result in class. Briefly describe two explanations. Inequality…

Group of answer choices The United States has both a comparative and an absolute advantage in the production of beef. The United States has an absolute, but not a comparative advantage in the production of beef. France has an absolute advantage in the production of beef. France has a comparative advantage in the production of beef.
