In the specific factors model, assume that the price of agricultural (land-using, i.e., good 2) good decreases exogenously while the price of manufactured (capital-using, i.e., good 1) good is unchanged.
Arrange the following terms in order of their magnitude:
- change in rental rate of land
- change in rental rate of capital
- change in price of good 1
- change in price of good 2
- change in wage
Order of given terms as per magnitude-----
Change in price of good 2
Change in rental rate of land
Change in wage
Change in rental rate of capital
Change in price of good 1
In the specific factors model, assume that the price of agricultural (land-using, i.e., good 2) good...
4. In the specific-factors model, assume that the price of agricultural goods decreases while the price of manufactured goods is unchanged in the HOME country (APAPA 0 and APMPM 0). HOME country exports the manufacturing goods. a. Based on the prediction of the specific-factors model, who (The owner of capital or owner of land) is better off? b. Arrange the following terms in ascending order (Please show the steps clearly): APM PM APAPA ARK RK ARTRT AWIW (A diagram like...
4. In the specific-factors model, assume that the price of agricultural goods decreases while the price of manufactured goods is unchanged in the HOME country (APA/P40 and AP MPM= 0). HOME country exports the manufacturing goods. a. Based on the prediction of the specific-factors model, who (The owner of capital or owner of land) is better off? b. Arrange the following terms in ascending order (Please show the steps clearly): ΔΡΑ/ΡΑ APMPM ART/RT ARK/Rk AW/W (A diagram like Figure 3.5...
2. Specifie-factors model Suppose that land is specific to com, capital is specific to automobiles, labor is mobile between sectors, and payments are as follows: Automobiles: Sales revenue = 200; Payments to labor = 100; Payments to capital = 100 Corn: Sales revenue = 200; Payments to labor = 40; Payments to land - 160 Suppose price of corn increases by 20%, the price of automobiles increases by 5%, and the wage increases by 10%. a. The relative price of...
1.Consider China that produces manufacturing and agricultural products. Assume that land is a factor used specifically in the agricultural sector, and capital is used in manufacturing sector only. If the price of agricultural products on the world market decreases, rent in which sector will increase the most? A.agriculture B.manufacturing C.both will lose D.nominal rent increase in agriculture but real rent not change 2.If in the specific factor model the prices of both manufactured and agricultural products decrease, then A.China fully...
Part II. The Specific-Factors Model 1. Assume under the Specific-Factors Model, home country export manufacturing goods to foreign country. Use the following information to answer the questions below: Manufacturing: Sales revenue Pm x Qm = 150 Payments to labor = W x Lm = 100 Payments to capital = Rkx K = 50 Sales revenue Pax Qa 150 Payments to labor W x La 50 Agriculture: Rt x T 100 Payments to land Holding the price of agriculture constant, suppose...
Specific Factor Model
3. Specific factor model a. Why is the specific-factors model referred to as a short run model? b. An economy can produce good 1 using labour and captal and good 2 using labour and land. The total supply of labour is 100 units. Given the supply of capital, the output of the two goods depend on labour input as follows: Labor Input to GoodI Labor Input to Good 2 Output of Good 2 0.0 39.8 52.5 61.8...
In the two-sector (manufacturing and agriculture) specific-factors model, an increase in the price of the manufactured good will cause: A) a decrease in nominal wages in both the agricultural and manufacturing sectors. B) an increase in real wages in both the agricultural and manufacturing sectors. C) an increase in both nominal and real wages in both the agricultural and manufacturing sectors. D) an increase in nominal wages in both the agricultural and manufacturing sectors. Which statement below is correct? A)...
Use the specific factors model. There is an increase the price of the manufactured good by 10%. The nominal wage will O Increase by 10%. O Decrease. O Increase by less than 10%. O Increase by more than 10%.
Think about an extension of the specific-factors model, in which, in addition to their wage, labour also earns some part of the rental on specific factor in their industry, i.e., farmers who own their own land and manufacturing workers who salary includes a profit-based bonus. Discuss how this extension affects the conclusion of the model. *This is not about the regular ambiguous nature of the mobile factor. The question is asking if labour was earning income from capital as well...
in the specific factors model, suppose that the price for food increased by 5% and the price of cloth increased by 10%. explain the effects on labor allocation and production. also, explain the welfare effect on labor, capital and land owners. assume that land is specific to food production, while capital is specific to cloth production.
