![Suppose there are two nations (A and B) which have the same technology, identical tastes but differing factor endowments, two commodities (X and Y) produced under increasing costs conditions, and no barriers to trade. Nation A is labour-abundant and Nation B is capital abundant. X is the labour-inten?ive good and Y is the capital-intensive good. Prove geometrically that mutually advantageous trade between the two nations is possible. Your answer should show the autarky and free-trade points of production and consumption for each nation, the gains from trade of each nation, and the equilibrium condition that should prevail when trade stops expanding.

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...
