The implication of Prebisch-Singer Hypothesis is: a) Raw materials and labour intensive goods are exported by the developing countries b) That because the price elasticity of demand for primary goods is relatively inelastic, it is pointless for developing countries to seek to export these. c) That because the income elasticity of demand for primary goods is inelastic, over time there will be a decline in primary commodity prices and therefore the incomes derived from primary goods. d) Trade will always be mutually beneficial between a developed and a developing country as long as they both seek to exploit their comparative advantages.

Romer’s (1986, 1990) approach to endogenous growth laid out a model which appeared to show that there were increasing returns to scale from technology and the accrual of savings to this technology. At a firm level, this seemed to imply that monopolies within a country would emerge. However, in reality, this is not the case. What is the reason that competition still survives in endogenous growth models (and, by extension, in reality)?

Refer to Table 4.4 “Measuring TFP So the Model Fits Exactly”. The “implied TFP (A_bar)” in the last column is 0.710 for Spain. What does this value mean? A. Spain’s per capital GDP is 71% of that of the U.S. B. Spanish workers tend to have longer holidays and shorter working days than U.S. workers C. At any given level of per capita capital, Spanish workers produce 71% of the output of U.S. workers D. This number refer to the margin of error in producing the statistics in the table
Which of the following is correct? Nominal GDP uses the price level from the benchmark year to adjust for inflation / deflation. According to Doug Irwin, the 'limit to globalization' arises due to the large size of the service sector. Conventional (non-PPP adjusted) GDP per capita overstates the true extent of income levels of poorer countries. Small countries tend to have small openness (i.e., (exports+imports)/GDP). Ad valorem equivalent of specific tariffs are not affected by inflation / deflation.

Country A has a natural climate that is perfect for growing strawberries - long sunny seasons and plenty of rich, well drained soil. Country A also has a big labor force with agriculture knowledge and can produce 80,000 baskets of strawberries in one growing season. By contrast, Country B’s climate is less well-appointed for strawberries - a shorter summer season with large areas of red clay. They also have a smaller population trained in agriculture. Country B can only produce 30,0000 baskets of strawberries in one growing season. In this scenario and with this information, Country A has Group of answer choices Absolute advantage for producing strawberries Comparative advantage for producing strawberries The lowest synthetic advantage for producing strawberries Elastic advantage for producing strawberries
In climate change models, the A2 scenario represents a differentiated world. The A2 scenario is characterized by high population growth, high energy use, medium economic growth rates, lower trade between countries, and slower rates of technological change and innovation. The A2 world "consolidates" into a series of economic regions. Economic growth is uneven-some countries grow fast and others not at all-and the income gap between now-industrialized and developing parts of the world grows through time. Environmentally-oriented political activism and civic engagement varies by country. In the context of climate change forecasts, the use of scenarios reflects: uncertainties about what causes climate change Ouncertainties about the total forcings of each atmospheric component uncertainties about future greenhouse gas emissions uncertainties about feedbacks in the climate system
