How does comparative advantage lead to gains from trade?
France and Tunisia both have Mediterranean climates that are excellent for producing/harvesting green beans and tomatoes. In France it takes two hours for each worker to harvest green beans and two hours to harvest a tomato. Tunisian workers need only one hour to harvest the tomatoes but four hours to harvest green beans. Assume there are only two workers, one in each country, and each works 40 hours a week. Draw a production possibilities frontier for each country. Hint: Remember the production possibility frontier is the maximum that all workers can produce at a unit of time which, in this problem, is a week. Identify which country has the absolute advantage in green beans and which country has the absolute advantage in tomatoes. Identity which country has the comparative advantage. How much would France have to give up In terms of tomatoes to gain from trade? How much would it have to give up in terms of green beans?
In Japan, one worker can make 5 tons of rubber or 80 radios. In Malaysia, one worker can make 10 tons of rubber or 40 radios. Who has the absolute advantage in the production of rubber or radios? How can you tell? Calculate the opportunity cost of producing 80 additional radios in Japan and in Malaysia. (Your calculation may involve fractions, which is fine,) Which country has a comparative advantage in the production of radios? Calculate the opportunity cost of producing 10 additional tons of rubber in Japan and in Malaysia. Which country has a comparative advantage in producing rubber? In this example, does each country have an absolute advantage and a comparative advantage in the same good? In what product should Japan specialize? In what product should Malaysia specialize?
10. We have focused on the case of trade involving only two countries. Suppose that thereare many countries capable of producing two goods, and that each country has onlyone factor of production, labor. What could we say about the pattern of productionand trade in this case? (Hint: Try constructing the world relative supply curve.)

Suppose Malaydia's production possibilities include a maximum of 150 units of rice and 250 units of lumber, and Canada's production possibilities include a maximum of 300 units of rice or 160 units of lumber. Then suppose each country initially allocates 50% of it's labor to producing each product. a. Total produxtion by the 2 countries equal of rice and lumber? b. Now suppose Malaysia increases the labor it allocates to kumber by 10%. Its lumber production rise by and it's rice production falls by. C. If Canada reallocates it's labor to increase its rice production by exactly the amount that Malaydia's rice production fell, by how much must it's lumber production fall? d. State the combines effects on total production of the reallocations in part b and c. Total production of rice changes by Total production of lumber changes by ____.
Assume the U.S. and Mexico do not trade and that both countries need some combination of cars and trucks. Look at the production possibilities frontier for both countries. What level of production of cars and trucks would you recommend for each country if they did not trade? Assume both cars and trucks are needed. (Look at a few different points to evaluate.). Provide at least a one sentence explanation of why you chose the point you chose for each country. What would you suggest each of these countries produce? Explain your answer. (Make sure to include the number of cars and trucks each country should produce.)
SUVs (millions per year) 5 4 3 2 A 2 B ו 3 5 6 Compact cars (millions per year) The figure above shows the production possibilities frontier for a country. In order for it to move from producing at point A to producing at point B, the country would need to: Select one: a. decrease compact car production by 3 million. O b. acquire more resources and/or more advanced technology. C. decrease SUV production by 4 million. d. decrease SUV production by 1 million.
The graphs below show the production possibilities frontiers for sugar and corn in South Africa and the United States. Instructions: Round your answers to two decimal places. First, assume the countries do not trade and can only consume what they produce. a. If South Africa produces 1 million tons of sugar, how much corn will it be able to produce? ____ million tons of corn b. If the United States produces 3 million tons of corn, how much sugar will it be able to produce? _____ million tons of sugar Now suppose the countries are considering trading. c. Which country has the comparative advantage in producing each good? South Africa has the comparative advantage in the production of _____ . The United States has the comparative advantage in the production of ______ . d. If South Africa fully specializes based on comparative advantage, how much will it produce? ____million tons of sugar and ____ million tons of corn e. If the…

The table below shows production per man-hour for each country. United Canada States Cameras 6 Milk 1 The United States has a labor force of 1,000 workers, and Canada has a labor force of 500 workers. a) Graph the world supply curve for cameras. b) Show a possible world demand curve and price (assuming that both countries completely specialize).
