B) Continuing form part A above, does our country gain or lose? Why? C) If a foreign country subsidizes the production of a good exported to the United States, who bears the burden of their mistaken policy?

? Q 5. The price of trade Suppose that Hungary and Luxembourg both produce boo and shoes. Hungary's opportunity cost of producing a pair shoes is 4 pairs of boots while Luxembourg's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is 12 pairs of boots. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing shoes in t two countries, you can tell that has a comparative has a A+ advantage in the production of shoes and comparative advantage in the production of boots. Suppose that Hungary and Luxembourg consider trading shoes and boots with each other. Hungary can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of boots for each pair of shoes it exports to Luxembourg. Similarly, Luxembourg can gain from trade as long as it receives more than of shoes for each pair of boots it exports to Hungary. Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of shoes in terms of boots) would allow both Luxembourg and Hungary to gain from trade?…
? illustrate an example of trade induced by comparative advantage. They assume that China and France each have 1,000 production units. With one unit of production (a mix of land, labor, capital, and technology), China can produce either 10 containers of toys or 7 cases of wine. France can produce either 2 cases of toys or 7 cases of wine. Thus, a production unit in China is five times as efficient compared to France when producing toys, but equally efficient when producing wine. Assume at first that no trade takes place. China allocates 800 production units to building toys and 200 production units to producing wine. France allocates 200 production units to building toys and 800 production units to producing wine. Trade at France’s Domestic Price. France’s domestic price is 2 containers of toys equals 7 cases of wine. Assume China produces 10,000 containers of toys and exports 400 containers to France. Assume France in turn produces 7,000 cases of wine and exports 1,400…
