Consider the world with two countries: Country A and Country B.
There are two
states of the world: State 1 and State 2, and the probability of
realization of each
state is 50%. In State 1, output of Country A is $100 billion, and
output of Country
B is $80 billion. In State 2, output of Country A is $90 billion,
and output of
Country B is $120 billion. Assume that the share of labor income in
output is 60%
for both countries.
(a) Derive the income distribution in each country in each state
when
there is no foreign direct investment.
(b) Consider foreign direct investment such that residents in
each coun-
try hold 50% of domestic capital stock and 50% of foreign capital
stock. Derive
the income distribution in each country in each state in this
case.
(c) Derive deviation from mean of capital income, labor income
and
total income for both countries.
(d) Based on your answers in parts (a)-(c), does foreign direct
invest-
ment help residents in the two countries diversify income risk?
Explain your
reasoning.

Suppose that there are two countries in the world economy countries A and B. The countries possess the following marginal propensities MPC (A) = 0.7, MPM (A) = 0.1, MPC (B) = 0.8, MPM (B) = 0.2. There is no government sector. using the formula for the open economy multiplier with foreign repercussions calculate the effect on country A's income of rise n autonomous investment in country A of $35 billion.

The world comprises two countries, A and B. There is only one good, whose price is normalized to 1; hence nominal and real measures coincide. These two countries differ with respect to their production technology. In particular, MPKA = 10 - 0.8KA and MPKB = 7 - 0.7KB , where MPKi denotes the marginal product of capital and Ki the capital stock in country i = Α, Β.The total capital stock in the world is 10 units. a) The initial...

Consider a world with two countries, Home and Foreign, both able to produce two goods: cloth and tablet computers. The production of both goods uses capital and labor in fixed proportions, with the tablets industry using more capital per worker than the cloth industry. The units of each input needed to produce one unit output are given by: capital Labor Cloth 1 2 Tablets 2 1 Both countries have 150 units of capital available for production, but the Home country...

Problem 5 Consider two countries A and B that have the same income distributions. In country A there is a strong credit market (well developed financial system that extends credit to most) and the government supported network of co-insurance (think unemployment benefits) funded by taxation. In country B there is not a well developed credit market and the government decides spend money on public goods like parks, education, and roads. 1. Draw consumption functions for both countries without government (assume...
