21. In the neoclassical model of trade, the movement of a country from autarky to free trade generally results in partial specialization in production, unlike the situation in the Classical model.
22. If two countries have identical productiin-possibilities frontiers but different tastes, it is possible for each country to gain from trade with the other country
B. In the neoclassical model but not in the classical model.
According to neo classical theory two countries with identical production possibility frontier can benefit from trade but this does not hold true in classical theory. Different demand conditions in the two countries in the presence of increasing opportunity cost characterize this situation in the neoclassical theory.

Matching the concepts with their explanations A model shows that bilateral trade is directly based on economic sizes but indirectly affected by distance between two countries. A Ricardian Model A model states that international trade is a zero-sum game 2 Adam Smith view of International Trade and a country should maintain a positive trade balance. A trade model states that a country should export the goods for which it has the comparative advantage (lower opportunity cost) Neoclassical Model 3 Also...
15. Which of the following does not contribute to a basis for trade between two countries? a. different tastes and preferences b. different technologies c. different relative factor endowments d. different absolute factor endowments, but the same relative endowments 16. Given the following graph showing production-possibilities frontiers for country A and country B in a situation where both countries are on the same community indifference curve S, in autarky: good Y Px/Py in country B, and, when trade begins, country...
Starting from an autarky (no-trade) situation with Heckscher-Ohlin model, if Country His relatively labor abundant, then once trade begins: c. wage/rent ratio rises in H wage/rent ratio falls in H wage/rent ratio remains constant in H. None of the above.
There will be no gains from specialization and trade between two countries if 1) neither country has an absolute advantage in the production of any good; 2) neither country has a comparative advantage in the production of any good; 3) opportunity costs differ too much between the two countries. O A. 1 only O B. 2 only OC. 3 only O D. 1 and 2 O E. 2 and 3

Question 1 Use the 2-country Ricardian model with free trade (graphically, using standard graphs) to work out the effects of the following changes (one at a time) on the Home and Foreign terms of trade and welfare. Assume that two goods, Food and Cloth, are produced and consumed, Home country has a comparative advantage in Food, and that in the initial equilibrium, both countries specialize completely. Assume that preferences are identical and homothetic in the two countries. (a) A decrease...
Consider a 2-good 2-country Ricardian model of trade where
labour productivity differences are due to different levels of
“institutions”. The 2 goods are airplanes and frozen chicken and
the 2 countries Japan and Mozambique. The unit labour requirements
are given in the table below. a. Give one reason why “institutions”
may affect labour productivity differently for the 2 goods. b.
Which country has a comparative advantage in frozen chicken?
Explain which steps you take to find this answer. c. Assume...
4. Specialization and tradeWhen a country specializes in the production of a good, this
means that it can produce this good at a lower opportunity cost
than its trading partner. Because of this comparative advantage,
both countries benefit when they specialize and trade with each
other.The following graphs show the production possibilities frontiers
(PPFs) for Maldonia and Lamponia. Both countries produce potatoes
and coffee, each initially (i.e., before specialization and trade)
producing 18 million pounds of potatoes and 9 million...
Chapter4 just introduced what
is Dornbusch-Fischer-Samuelson mode, no other information.
Explain the effect of an increase in country 2's productivity on the pattern of trade, relative wages, and real income in each country using the Dornbusch-Fischer-Samuelson model (appendix to chapter 4). A good answer will be a carefully written explanation supplemented by graphs. In a five country-two commodity Classical model of trade, where the autarky price ratios in all five countries are different, can you conclude a priori that all...
