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...

The specific factors model
1) Consider a family of farmers. Grandma owns the machinery
necessary to produce corn, while Grandpa owns the machinery
necessary to produce soybeans. Their children carry out the work
required to produce both corn and soybeans. Assume that production
functions for the two goods are concave in labor.

Consider a specific-factors model with two industries, automobiles (A) and mining (M). Suppose that automobiles are produced using the following production function: QA = K1/2 0 L1/2 A , (1) where K refers to capital that are specific to the auto industry
(a) [12 marks] Draw a specific-factors diagram with the origin for mining in the bottom
left and the origin for autos in the bottom right respectively. Illustrate an initial allocation of workers across the two industries and use your diagram to calculate the nominal
wage, w. For this part, you can assume that the country’s firms are able to offshore production, so that the total endowment of labour available to them is 96. Hint: recall that
in an equilibrium in...

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.

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

Let us assume a 2x2x2 model (country H & F, good A & B, factors L & K). The two countries are identical except L < L* and K > K* More over good A is labor intensive and good B is capital intensive. (a) Draw the production possibility frontier of the two countries. (You need to measure A on the horizontal axis). (b) Using factor prices w & r, commodity prices Pa & Pb, derive the relation between the...

7. We know that well-defined preferences over two goods have the properties that () indifference curves are negatively sloped, and (ii) that indifference curves are convex (so that chords between two points on the indifference curve lie in the set ((c, y) such that (c,y)(coyo) when (co. o) is a point on the indifference curve). Suppose that good y is "clean air" and good c is consumption of all other goods. This problem gets you to determine what these two...
