From the trade model, we found that in most cases, trade creates value. Where do we see that conclusion in the Supply and Demand model? You should be able to answer this in a few sentences.
Economists consider the effects of free trade on income distribution to be less important than the effects on overall welfare because those who are harmed can be compensated by those who gain.
Indicate whether the above statement is True or False, AND with a couple of sentences explain why.
In 2005, manufacturing workers in the United States earned an average wage of $23.65 per hour. That same year, manufacturing workers in Mexico earned an average wage of $2.63 per hour. How can U.S. manufacturers possibly compete? Why isn’t all manufacturing done in Mexico and other low-wage countries?

- Consider two countries (Home and Foreign) that produce goods 1 (with labor and capital) and 2 (with labor and land). Initially, both countries have the same supply of labor (250 units each), capital, and land. The capital stock in Home then grows. This change shifts out both the production curve for good 1 as a function of labor employed and the associated marginal product of labor curve. Nothing happens to the production and marginal product curves for good 2. a. Show how the increase in the supply of capital for Home affects its production possibility frontier. Using the three-point curved line drawing tool, draw a new PPF for Home that reflects the increase in the supply of capital. Properly label the curve. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required object.

The economies of the countries are described by the following Cobb–Douglas production functions: North Economy: Y = AK^0.7 L^0.3 South Economy: Y = AK^0.3 L^0.7 If half of workers (L) in North immigrated to South, explain how would total output, marginal produc- tivity of labor, and labor’s share of income in the two economies change?arrow_forwardThe principle of comparative advantage does not provide answers to certain questions. One of those questions is Do specialization and trade benefit more than one party to a trade? Is it absolute advantage or comparative advantage that really matters? How are the gains from trade shared among the parties to a trade? Is it possible for specialization and trade to increase total output of traded goods?arrow_forward
