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...

Heckscher-Ohlin model Country A produces cellphone (C) and food (F) with capital and labor. Both sectors are perfect competitive. Capital (K) and labor (L) are not substitutable with each other. Thus, unit capital requirement and unit labor requirement are fixed. ??? = 3, ??? = 1, ??? = 2, ??? = 4, where ??? is the number of units of K-capital required to produce and unit of C-cellphone. a. Which sector is relatively capital intensive? Which sector is relatively labor...
