Suppose an economist develops an international trade model based on the assumption that there are only two countries and two goods. We can say that the model O is worthless, since the actual world has many countries trading many goods. can be useful in the classroom, but has no use in the real world. can be useful only in situations involving two countries and two goods. can be useful in helping economists to understand the complex world of international trade involving many countries and many goods.

The following graph shows a fictional world economy that consists of only two countries, Greenberg and Baxton. Both countries produce airplanes under increasing-cost conditions. Note that the left-hand part of the diagram is a mirror image of a standard supply-demand diagram, and therefore the supply and demand curves slope in directions opposite their usual directions. Greenberg Baxton 30 27 24 +18 + + 15 12 In the absence of trade (that is, autarky), the equilibrium price in Greenberg is $ and the equilibrium price in Baxton is |. (Hint: Enter all monetary values in full. For example, $7,000 rather than $7.) In the absence of trade, which of the following statements is correct? O Greenberg has the comparative advantage in production of airplanes. O Greenberg and Baxton are equally good at producing airplanes. O Baxton has the comparative advantage in production of airplanes. Now suppose both countries open up to international trade with each other. For each country, use the previous…
The table below shows one of the most preferred trade exercises in your class, according to your classmates' votes. Refer to it to answer the following question. Burrito 40/hr Bowl 44/hr Chipotle Hot Head Burritos 36/hr 42/hr Chipotle has comparative advantage in (type either burritos or bowls).
(g) Explain how is the production structure (i.e. which goods are produced) affected in each country by opening up to trade. Is this consistent with the empirical evidence we observe in reality? How can this model be modified to produce a less stark result?

Suppose Kenya is open to free trade in the world market for wheat. Because of Kenya's small size, the demand for and supply of wheat in Kenya do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic wheat market in Kenya. The world price of wheat is Pw =$250 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer surplus (CS) when the economy is at the free-trade equilibrium. Then, use the purple triangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing producer surplus (PS). (? 490 Domestic Demand Domestic Supply 460 CS 430 400 370 PS 340 310 280 Pw 250 220 190 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 QUANTITY (Thousands of tons of wheat) If Kenya allows international trade in the market for wheat, it will import tons of wheat. Now suppose the Kenyan government decides to impose a tariff of $60 on each imported ton of wheat. After the tariff, the price Kenyan consumers pay for a ton of wheat is s and Kenya will import tons of…
Many trading partners trade the same goods and services with one another. The U.S. exports automobiles to Europe and Europe exports automobiles to the United States. In fact, that's true for food, appliances, computers and many other goods. Does intra-industry trade contradict the theory of comparative advantage? Why or why not?
Economic Use the graph below and the following information to answer the next question. The world price of soybeans is five dollars per bushel and the importing country is small enough to not affect the real price. Suppose the government puts a tariff of one dollars per bushel on soybean imports how much revenue will the government raise from a one dollar per bushel tariff on soybean imports.
Finally, Canada and Australia are both English-speaking countries with not-too dissimilar population sizes. However, Canada’s trade is twice as large as that of Australia’s. to what extent, does comparative advantage help explain this?
Suppose that Georgiania was a thriving empire in its golden age. Business was booming and it was the center of international trade under the leadership of Emperor Raphael III. His empire's pride and joy was the trading of green and black tea, and he decreed that their entire economy should be built around it. However, in the mid 1800s, Georgiania experienced a severe economic downturn when the other nations of the world created an embargo on tea from Georgiania, which led to civil strife due to thousands of workers being laid off. A downward fluctuation in the economy like this is known as economic growth. a recession. the invisible hand. market failure. The correct term is a key component of macroeconomics. both microeconomics and macroeconomics. microeconomics.
The following statement is true about comparative advantage. The principle was developed by the British Economist Henry Ford. A country with fewer environmental regulations and lower wages has a comparative advantage in modern manufacturing. Silicon Valley has a comparative advantage in high-technology due to a local abundance of silicon dioxide. The principle of comparative advantage is used to justify self-sufficiency and local production of goods.
An economy is said to have a comparative advantage in the production of a good if it can: produce that good with more resources than another economy. produce that good with a higher opportunity cost than another economy. produce that good outside its production possibilities curve. produce the good at a lower opportunity cost than another economy.
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)? **
