QUESTION 19 The difference between the Ricardian model of trade and the immobile factor model is that: O Ricardo assumed one factor of production while the immobile factor model assumed two factors of production, labor and capital. O Ricardo considered the countryâ s workforce as an endogenous variable, while the immobile factor model considered labor supply as exogenous. O Ricardo assumed a barter economy while the immobile factor model introduced money into the system. O Ricardo assumed labor was immobile between industries, while the immobile factor model considered labor to be immobile only between countries. O Ricardo assumed labor employed in each sector to be endogenous, but the immobile factor model assumed labor employed in each sector to be exogenous.

NEWS WIRE NORTH KOREA'S ROCKETS DEEPEN FOOD CRISIS North Korea's Rocket Launches Cost $1.3 Billion North Korea's rocket program is costly. In December 2012 North Korea successfully launched a long-range rocket carrying a satellite into space. That feat cost $300 million. The entire cost of the rocket program last year - including the failed launch in April - totaled about $1.3 billion according to estimates by South Korea experts. With that much money North Korea could have purchased 4.6 million tons of corn - enough to feed its population for 4-5 years. North Korea's ambitious nuclear program costs nearly triple that amount. The burden of North Korea's military program is evident in widespread poverty and periodic starvation. Source: News accounts of December 2012 - January 2013.
