QUESTION 17 Consider two countries: Ireland and Belgium. Each country has 40 workers, each supplying 5 units of labour time each. The only goods in the world are chemicals and automobiles. The following table gives the amount of labour time required to make each good: Chemicals Automobiles Ireland 8 20 Belgium 10 If both countries are producing chemicals in a free trade equilibrium, the relative demand curve intersects the relative supply curve at what Pc/Pa? What is the world relative price of chemicals? is the free trade equilibrium is the world relative price of chemicals
Suppose the United States can produce cars at an opportunity cost of two computers for each car it produces. Suppose Mexico can produce cars at an opportunity cost of eight computers for each car it produces. Discuss how both countries can gain from free trade.
from the image, can you help answer whether the trade action for Felicidad: jeans is import 18 or export 18, Felicidad: corn import 54 or export 54, and Contente: jeans import 18 or export 18 and Contente: corn import 54 or export 54.
Suppose Canada can produce cars at an opportunity cost of 2 computers for each car it produces. Suppose Mexico can produce cars at an opportunity cost of 8 computers for each car it produces. Indicate how both countries can gain from free trade.
3. Gains from trade Consider two neighboring island countries called Contente and Euphoria. They each have 4 million labor hours available per month that they can use to produce jeans, corn, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or corn that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Jeans Corn Country (Pairs per hour of labor) (Bushels per hour of labor) Contente 16 Euphoria 20 Initially, suppose Contente uses 1 million hours of labor per month to produce jeans and 3 million hours per month to produce corn, while Euphoria uses 3 million hours of labor per month to produce jeans and 1 million hours per month to produce corn. Consequently, Contente produces 8 million pairs of jeans and 48 million bushels of corn, and Euphoria produces 15 million pairs of jeans and 20 million bushels of corn. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of jeans and corn…
There are two countries, Atlantis and Thule, and two goods, Clothing (C) and food (F) In Atlantis, it takes 3 units of labour to produce a unit of Clothing and 3 units of labour to make a unit of Food. In Thule, a unit of Clothing requires 2 units of labour, and a unit of Food requires 5 units of labour. Assume that Atlantis has 300 units of labour, and Thule has 500 units of labour. (a) What is the opportunity cost of Food in terms of Clothing in each country? (b) Which country has an absolute advantage in which good? (c) Which country has a comparative advantage in which good? Why? (d) Draw the production possibilities frontier for each country (put Food on the horizontal axis). Label axes and slopes. (e) Draw the world production possibilities frontier (assuming labour does not move between countries). Again, put Food on the horizontal axis. Label axes and important points on - 2 - the diagram. (f ) Draw the world relative supply curve (labelled RS) for F/C with the relative price…

Suppose that a worker in Country A can produce either 6 units of corn or 2 units of wheat per year, and a worker in Country B can produce either 2 units of corn or 6 units of wheat per year. Each nation has 10 workers. Without trade, Country A produces and consumes 30 units of corn and 10 units of wheat per year. Country B produces and consumes 10 units of corn and 30 units of wheat. Suppose that trade is then initiated between the two countries, and Country A sends 30 units of corn to Country B in exchange for 30 units of wheat. Country A will now be able to consume a maximum of Select one: a.30 units of corn and 30 units of wheat. b.40 units of corn and 20 units of wheat. c.40 units of corn and 30 units of wheat. d.10 units of corn and 40 units of wheat.
Choose four countries. One country in North America, another country in Central America, another country in the Caribbean and another country in South America and indicate, using the gravity model, which factors should increase or reduce trade between those countries. After that, choose a country in Europe and indicate, using the Gravity Model, how the intensity of trade changes with five countries. You must take into account the concept of the gravity model and the factors that affect trade such as language, culture, trade agreements, among others. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

In 2020, Spain had a population of 46 million and its capital stock was US$90,000 billion. The corresponding figures for Australia were 26 million and US$75,000 billion. Suppose computer-chips manufacturing is capital-intensive relative to food processing. As such, in a two-factor, two-commodity and two-country world, Australia would have exported computer-chips to Spain and imported processed foods from Spain. Do you agree? Justify your answer using an appropriate trade model
