In Home and Foreign, there are two factors each of production, land and labor, used to produce only one good. The land supply in each country and the technology of production are exactly the same. The marginal product of labor in each country depends on employment as follows: Number of Workers Employed Marginal Product of Last Worker 1 20 2 19 3 18 4 17 5 16 6 15 7 14 8 13 9 12 10 11 11 10 Initially,...
The standard trade model. Home and Foreign have two factors of production, land and labor, with which they produce two goods, wheat and wine. Technology is the same in the two countries. Wheat is land intensive, and Home is land abundant. Graphically analyze the effects on the terms of trade and welfare of the two countries of the following: (a) An increase in Home’s amount of land. (b) An increase in Home’s labor supply. (c) An increase in Foreign’s amount...

The Heckscher–Ohlin model. Home and Foreign have two production factors, skilled and unskilled labor and produce two goods, textiles and computers. 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 computers at Home and in Foreign? (b)...

Consider two countries (Home and Foreign) that produce goods 1 (with labor and capitalj and 2 twith labor and land) according to the production functions described in problems 2 and 3 Initially, both countries have the same supply of labor (100 units each), capital, and land The capital stock in Home then grows. This change shifts out both the production curve for good 1 as a function of labor employed (described in problem 2) and the...
1-Home produces 2 goods X and Y . Home country has two factors of production, Labor and Capital. All consumers at Home have preferences over two goods that can be represented by the utility function U(X,) =XY . The factor requirements per unit of output of the two goods are also fixed and they are shown in the following table: Good X Good Y Labour 1/3 2/3 Capital 2/3 1/3 Home country has 360 units of Labour and 600 units...

Labor and capital are used to produce an airline flight. The production function is given by f(L, k)minl,k). In words, it takes two workers (pilots) and one plane to produce a trip. Safety concerns require that every plane has two pilots (a) Describe the isoquant map for the production of air trips. (b) Explain why the cost per trip is 2w +r, where w is the wage and r is the price of capital. (c) Suppose that the company wants...
