Suppose that a worker in Boatland can produce either 10 units of wheat or 25 units of fish per year, and a worker in Farmland can produce either 25 units of wheat or 10 units of fish per year. There are 10 workers in each country. Political pressure from the fish lobby in Farmland and from the wheat lobby in Boatland has prevented trade between the two countries on the grounds that cheap imports would kill the fish industry in Farmland and the wheat industry in Boatland. As a result, Boatland produces and consumes 50 units of wheat and 125 units of fish per year while Farmland produces and consumes 125 units of wheat and 50 units of fish per year. If the political pressure were overcome and trade were to occur, each country would completely specialize in the product in which it has a comparative advantage. If trade were to occur, the combined output of the two countries would increase by

Suppose that a worker in Caninia can produce either 2 blankets or 8 meals per day,...
Suppose that a worker in Caninia can produce either 2 blankets or 8 meals per day, and a worker in Felinia can produce either 5 blankets or 1 meal per day. Each nation has 10 workers. For many years, the two countries traded, each completely specializing according to their respective comparative advantages. Now war has broken out between them and all trade has stopped. Without trade, Caninia produces and consumes 10 blankets and 40 meals per day and Felinia produces...

Japan and Korea both harvest wheat and fish. For each bushel of wheat Japan produces, it gives up the opportunity to catch 75 pounds of fish. Korea can harvest one bushel of wheat for every 50 pounds of fish it catches. Which of the follow is true regarding opportunity costs between the two countries? The opportunity cost of harvesting wheat is lower in Japan. Japan and Korea would not benefit from trade. If Japan and Korea were to trade, Korea...
