Consider a Specific Factors model of a competitive economy in which 2 goods (Manufacturing products and Agricultural products) are each produced with a specific input (capital and land respectively) and labour is an input in the production of both goods.

  2. Illustrate the impact on the equilibrium of an increase in the relative price of manufacturing goods that does not eliminate the economy’s comparative advantage in agricultural goods . Again, show amounts produced, consumed and traded.
  3. Will this increase raise or lower the return to land? Explain your answer in detail.
