PROBLEM 1 Consider the typical HO setting: 2 countries, the United States and Canada, produce two goods, maiz (corn) and cloth, with two factors, land and labor. Both countries share the same tastes and the same technology. Maiz production is land intensive, and therefore cloth production is labor intensive. Furthermore, resource endowments are as follows: in the US there are 100 units of labor and 100 of land, in Canada there are 60 units of labor and 90 of land. Which...

We are in two good, two countries, where all of the assumptions of the Heckscher-Ohlin model of trade are satisfied. Suppose that in Japan there are 50 workers and 50 acres of land, while in the US there are 100 workers and 200 acres of land. Suppose furthermore that the two goods, rice, and cloth, are produced using land and labor. Rice is land intensive. Suppose workers in the US go on strike to protest free trade. why would they...

Suppose when Japan opens to trade, it imports rice, a labor intensive good. According to the Heckscher –Ohlin theorem, is Japan capital abundant or labor abundat? Explain. What is the impact of opening trade on the real wage in Japan? What is the impact of opening trade on the real rental rate on capital? What does the Heckscher Ohlin model assume about labor mobility across industries? Across countries? Which group (capital owners on workers) would support policies to limit free...

Suppose there exist 2 countries, Home and Foreign; 2 goods, X and Y; and 2 factors of production, labor (L) and capital (K). Each country can produce both goods. X is labor-intensive and Y is capital-intensive. Home is labor-abundant and Foreign is capital-abundant. Assume that the standard assumptions of the Heckscher-Ohlin model hold. When answering the following question, please support each of your arguments with detailed analysis and draw the relevant diagrams to support your answer. Consider a move from...

Production of TVs are relatively capital intensive, and tennis racquets are relatively labor intensive. Suppose Canada has $20 billion of capital and 30 million workers and Mexico has $15 billion of capital and 10 million workers. According to the Heckscher-Ohlin(-Samuelson) model: Canada will import TVs and import tennis racquets. Canada will export TVs and import tennis racquets. Canada will import TVs and export tennis racquets. Canada will export TVs and export tennis racquets.

1. The Heckscher–Ohlin model Home and Foreign have two production fac- tors, skilled and unskilled labor and produce two goods, textiles and com- puters. Home is skilled labor abundant, and computers are skilled labor intensive. Starting from a situation of autarky, the two countries liberalize trade. Assuming that the two countries produce both goods before and after trade liberalization, answer the following questions: (a) What is the effect of trade liberalization on the relative price of com- puters at Home...

1-Home produces 2 goods X and Y . Home country has two factors of production, Labor and Capital. All consumers at Home have preferences over two goods that can be represented by the utility function U(X,) =XY . The factor requirements per unit of output of the two goods are also fixed and they are shown in the following table: Good X Good Y Labour 1/3 2/3 Capital 2/3 1/3 Home country has 360 units of Labour and 600 units...
