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...

International Trade Case
Countries measure the health of their economies in many ways such as unemployment rates, consumer confidence, and Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Gross Domestic Product is a measurement of the amount of goods produced by a country in one year. If that number increases, our economy is growing, whereas a decrease would indicate a shrinking economy. To calculate expenditure GDP we add up all of the groups who buy goods in the economy (GDP = C + I + G +...
