In the Melitz (2003) model gains from trade only increase producer rents (make firms more profitable). True False
If firms are in a competitive market, firms use marginal cost=price as a price-setting rule. Why multinational firms do not follow the price-setting rule like the firms in the competitive market (or why exporting firms do not follow the price-setting rule)? Your answer should be based on the characteristic market and the internal economies of scale. What is the price-setting rule for multinational firms?
International trade Consider an H-0 economy in which there are two countries (US and France), two goods (wine and cheese) and two factors(capital and labor). Q1:Suppose a decrease in the price of cheese causes a decrease in the wage rate in the US economy. Which factor is used intensively in cheese production in France? Which HO theorem is used to get this answer? Explain.
Three former Uruguayan presidents recommended the current administration that without abandoning Mercosur, it should look at major trade blocks associations but at the same time a strong self criticism is needed because maybe the problem is not in Mercosur but in Uruguay. The absence of conditions in the Uruguayan economy to compete for markets and investments, the wrong energy and foreign policies and the infinite tolerance with the bilateral mechanism imposed by Argentina and Brazil in the region are the main causes by which Mercosur has seen its rules and institutions erode and most probably leading it to a major failure. The three leaders are Julio Maria Sanguinetti (1985/1990 and 1995/2000); Luis Alberto Lacalle (1990/1995) and Jorge Batlle (2000/2005). The only living president missing at the conference was Tabare Vasquez (2000/2005), who belongs to the current ruling coalition. “We need powerful friends and partners but distant” said Lacalle who suggested Uruguay should reach…

When Korea moved to an export-oriented industrialization strategy in the mid-1960s it did not dismantle the protection of the existing infant industries. Infant industries were vigorously promoted alongside the export drive, the main thrust coming in the mid-1970s under the name of “heavy and chemical industrialization” policy. In the early 1980s, Korean industrial policy ceased to favor explicitly certain industries but had to cope with the legacy of previousindustrial policy. In summary, Korean infant industries were not allowed to live complacently behind the wall of protection but rather were driven to compete and improve performance. The process was not interrupted by foreign exchange crises. This should have also led to faster growth of output for infant industries. Protected infant industries failed to grow fast in most developing countries apparently for the same reasons they failed to mature a) What could have been the motivations of the Korean government for carrying out an…
Consider the (long run') effects of inward labor migration in the Heckscher- Ohlin Model. Assume that the country trades and the relative price of two goods X and Y stavs constant. Assume X is relatively labor intensive. Intuitively explain how the increase in labor supply affects (relative) output of X and Y and how it affects factor prices ('Rybczynski Theorem'). You may want to use graphs.
