Suppose there are two countries for analyses, the United States and Indonesia. Assume that 2000 man hours are available in the United States and 36000 in Indonesia. The following table provides information on how many man-hours are needed to produce one unit of the same goods. Indonesia United States Cloth 50 3 Machines 100 5 2.4 With the aid of a graph, explain why both countries benefit from trade when prices are within the range of 1.666675 cloths per machine and 2 cloths per machine.
Gains from trade Consider two neighboring island countries called Bellissima and Felicidad. They each have 4 million labor hours available per month that they can use to produce jeans, corn, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or corn that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Country Jeans Corn (Pairs per hour of labor) (Bushels per hour of labor) Bellissima 8 16 Felicidad 5 20 Initially, suppose Bellissima uses 1 million hours of labor per month to produce jeans and 3 million hours per month to produce corn, while Felicidad uses 3 million hours of labor per month to produce jeans and 1 million hours per month to produce corn. Consequently, Bellissima produces 8 million pairs of jeans and 48 million bushels of corn, and Felicidad produces 15 million pairs of jeans and 20 million bushels of corn. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each…
When Oz land closes off to trade, it notices that the number of firms in an industry double in size. What economic theory would help us explain this phenomenon?
Consider two neighboring island countries called Felicidad and Bellissima. They each have 4 million labor hours available per week that they can use to produce jeans, rye, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or rye that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Country Felicidad Bellissima Jeans (Pairs per hour of labor) 4 6 Rye (Bushels per hour of labor) of rye. Therefore, advantage in the production of rye. 16 Initially, suppose Bellissima uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 3 million hours per week to produce rye, while Felicidad uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce jeans and 1 million hours per week to produce rye. Consequently, Felicidad produces 12 million pairs of jeans and 16 million bushels of rye, and Bellissima produces 6 million pairs of jeans and 36 million bushels of rye. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country…
Assuming that there are only two countries in the world, Indonesia and ROW (Rest of the World) which both produce Cloth (C) and Food (F) using labor as factor production. The following table shows the number of hours of work needed to produce one unit of C and F in both countries: Cloth (C) Food (F) Indonesia 1 hour per meter 2 hour per kg ROW 6 hour per meter 3 hour per kg Please answer the followings: a. If we use the Smithian Absolute advantage, can both countries gain? Why? b. Eventually, these countries can still trade, please explain c. Please show the gains from trade for producers and consumers in both countries d. Can we see a catching up (factor price) pattern for both countries?
Consider an economy with two producers, Sidney and Connor. Each allocates 8 hours per day between the production of chocolate and bananas. Given 8 hours of labour, Sidney can produce 80kg of chocolate or 16kg of bananas. Connor can produce either 2kg of chocolate or 4kg of bananas per hour. A) No Trade i) In separate diagrams, show the production possibilities frontier for both Sidney and Connor. Put bananas on the horizontal axis and chocolate on the vertical axis. ii)What is the opportunity cost of bananas for both Sidney and Connor if there is no trade?
Suppose there exist two imaginary countries, Denali and Congaree. Their labor forces are each capable of supplying four million hours per week that can be used to produce almonds, shorts, or some combination of the two. The following table shows the amount of almonds or shorts that can be produced by one hour of labor. Country Almonds Shorts (Pounds per hour of labor) (Pairs per hour of labor) Denali 6 12 Congaree 4 16 Suppose that initially Denali uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce almonds and 3 million hours per week to produce shorts, while Congaree uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce almonds and 1 million hours per week to produce shorts. As a result, Denali produces 6 million pounds of almonds and 36 million pairs of shorts, and Congaree produces 12 million pounds of almonds and 16 million pairs of shorts. Assume there are no other countries willing to engage in trade, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries,…
