The figure to the right illustrates the causes and effects of international labor mobility between two countries, Home and Foreign (*). The horizontal axis represents the total world labor force. The workers employed in Home are measured from the left, the workers employed in Foreign from the right. The left vertical axis shows the marginal product of labor in Home; the right vertical axis shows the marginal product of labor in Foreign. Suppose the initial allocation of labor has OL³ workers in Home and 0*L³ workers in Foreign. Given this initial allocation, labor can be expected to O A. migrate from Home to Foreign. O B. remain situated where it currently resides. OC. migrate from Foreign to Home. OD. migrate toward the higher nominal wage. From the perspective of the world economy, this migration of labor is desirable since O A. total world output rises by BAC. OB. total world output rises by L²L³DA. OC. total world output rises by DAE. O D. Foreign rids itself of disgruntled workers. MPL D E B MPL 0 Home employment L³ L²L¹ Foreign - Total world labor force 0 employment Q

Suppose Anguilla and Barbuda intend to trade 250 bananas (B) for 300 cocoa beans (C). In Anguilla, there are 30000 workers and 1B requires 10 workers while 1C requires 15 workers. Barbuda, with a labour force of 45 000, each banana requires 45 workers while harvesting cocoa beans requires 15 workers. From the information provided, answer the following questions. If both countries refuse to trade and allocates half its resource to each good, calculate each country’s production. With the intention to trade, determine which country holds the absolute and comparative advantage in each good. Determine the production of each country undertakes with the intention to trade.
