Use the following assumptions to answer all questions:
• There are three countries – Argentina, Britain and
Canada.
• Each country produces and consumes two kinds of
goods – crude oil and beef.
• All countries make their goods from a single type of
input – labor – and each country has 700 hours of
labor available to produce crude oil and beef.
• Each country demands 5 (five) barrels of crude oil.
This assumption simply means that a country must
have exactly 5 barrels of crude oil – it may produce
them domestically, it may import them from abroad, or
it makes some domestically and imports the rest.
• Countries produce goods using the technology
described in the table below:
Technology
Hours of labor needed to produce one unit of good
Argentina
Britain
Canada
barrel of crude oil
pound of beef
60
50
70

Using the above assumptions, answer the following
questions:
• Calculate the quantities of crude oil and beef produced
in each country in autarky (when they do not trade and
each country produces its own crude oil and beef)
Quantities produced Argentina
barrel of crude oil
Britain
Canada
Total
Autarky
(No trade) pound of beef
• Order the countries according to their absolute
advantage in production of crude oil
• Order the countries according to their absolute
advantage in production of beef
• Consider the case where countries are free to specialize
and trade. In the table below calculate each country's
opportunity cost of producing one unit of each good.
Argentina
Britain
Canada

lọc of 1 barrel of oil

OC of 1 pond of beef
• Calculate the quantities of crude oil and beef produced
in each country, consistent with the country's
comparative advantage.
