There are two countries, Home and Foreign. High - skill labour and low - skill labour are the only factors of production. The Home country is high - skill abundant and the Foreign country is low-skill abundant, i. e. H/L > H*/L* where H and H* denote the high - skill workers in the Home and Foreign countries, respectively, and L and L* denote the low- skill workers in the Home and Foreign country, respectively. There are two goods, smartphones and clothes. The production of clothes is intensive in low - skill labour. When smartphones are produced in a single location, their production is intensive in high-skill labour. The production of a smartphone can be split into separate activities. Some of these activities require high skills (R&D, microchips) and some require medium skills ( case, assembly). Depict the effects of free trade on the two graphs that describe the labour market of the Home and the Foreign countries. Does the relative demand for high - skill labour increase or decrease in the Home country? What about the Foreign country? What is the effect of free trade on the relative wage of high skill workers in each country?

In the specific factor model with labour as a mobile factor, introducing trade lowers the welfare of workers increases output and consumption in the world. increases the welfare of all the owners of specific factors in Home. induces a Pareto improvement for the economy that exports more.
Economics Suppose output per worker in the US is four times (4.0) output per worker in China. Suppose capital per worker in the US is twice that of China. You should assume that the share of capital in income is 40 percent for both countries. Total factor productivity (A) for the U.S is. A)Four times higher (4.0) than China B)U.S TFP is beľow China. C)US TFP is twice (2.0) as high. D)U.S TFP is equal to China. EJU.S TFP is 3.2 times higher than China.
