Q. 4
The Services sector has been steadily rising in relative importance in GDP of the United States, as well as elsewhere around the world. Since "services" have been identified as "non-tradable" (e.g., it is difficult to export haircuts), it may be argued that this trend will likely slow the rapid growth in international trade. Discuss.
Q1. Suppose that Brazil initially has a higher capital rental rate (r) than the United
States.
a. What would be the direction of foreign direct investment (FDI)?
b. Use a world-capital-market graph to show the effects of FDI on the two countries'
rental rates of capital, GDP, and return to labor owners.
c. Identify the net change in world output in the above graph.
d. How would the wage rate and the rental rate of capital in the recipient country be
affected in the long run?
e. Discussion: what other effects could FDI cause in the recipient and source countries
that are not captured in the model?
How would I answer this?

Which industry is capital intensive? Is this a realistic scenario (i.e., are some industries capital-intensive in some countries and labor- intensive in others)?b. Given the percentage changes in output prices above, calculate the percentage change in the rental on capital.c. How does the magnitude of this change compare with that of labor?d. Which factor gains in real terms, and which factor loses?arrow_forwardIn the 1990s, developed countries agreed to double their aid to Africa by 2015. A report by the United Nations conference on Trade and Development noted that sceptics had raised concerns about how much effect the doubling of aid would have on output and incomes in Africa, if the quantity of other inputs such as human capacity and institutions were to remain fixed. It also pointed to the divisions between the sceptics with some suggesting the return would diminish when aid reached only 4% of GDP, while others thought they would diminish only when it had reached 50%. It should be added that even if the returns do begin to diminish, they could still be very important.In 1887, Cecil Rhodes created the De Beers Consolidated mines Company, which controlled about 90% of the total world supply of rough uncut diamonds with its South African mines. Until 2001, De Beers produced about half of the world’s diamonds in its mines and marketed about 80% of the world’s diamonds. Diamond producing…arrow_forwardTrue or false?

- Based on article "Technology and economic growth: From Robert Solow to Paul Romer" by Rui Zhao, Romer has successfully opened the black box and explained how technology can be produced by an economy without having to rely on external (exogenous) technology. Using the central equations of the Romer’s model, technology (At) can grow to At + 1 due to efforts in R&D and technology spillover. Explain the role of three key sectors in the economy to drive technological-based economic growth.arrow_forwardSuppose that a vaccine manufacturing company owned entirely by U.S. citizens opens a new facility in Canada.

In each case, carefully explain your answer. a) What sort of foreign investment would this represent? b) What would be the effect of this investment on current Canadian Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and U.S. GDP? c) What would be the effect of this investment on future per capita incomes in Canada?arrow_forwardWhy Capital does not Flow from Rich to Emerging Countries? We assume that the production function in country i is 1 1 2 Yi = A ² k², (1) where y, and ki are output and capital per capita, respectively, in country i, and A is a measure of technology in country i. (a) Calculate the marginal product of capital (MPK) denoted by Ri in country i. (b) Express the MPK in terms of output per capita, yi, i.e., eliminate ki from Ri by using the production function (1). (c) We consider two countries, indexed by i 1 and i 2, whose production function is described by (1). Both are assumed to have the same level of productivity, i.e., A₁ A2. We assume y2 50y₁. Calculate the ratio R₁/R₂. (d) We keep assuming that y2 50y1, but now we assume that A2 educational attainment is higher in country 2. Calculate the ratio R₁/R₂ under 10A₁ because these assumptions.
