A great area of concern is the supply of hospital ventilators. Clearly, the number of available ventilators falls far short of the projected number needed. Why is this the case? Were hospitals justified in carrying the inventory of ventilators that they did? Things to consider:
• What do you suppose the demand curve looks like for ventilator demand? Is it Normally distributed like most of our examples from class? What service level do you think would be appropriate? What are the associated costs?
• What is the lead time for new ventilators? Why is it so long and is there anything that can be done about this? What effect does this lead time have on inventory levels?

COVID-19 makes us recognize those people whose jobs are indispensable to the functioning of society, including front-line health-care workers, grocery workers, and delivery workers. Many earn low incomes while bearing the risk of becoming infected to meet other people’s living and medical needs. What new perspective does COVID-19 give you on the different importance of the essential/non-essential jobs to our economy? (You may want to refer to the material on care from Nancy Folbre earlier in the semester.) Feel free to reflect on how COVID-19 may have altered your future career plans.

Question
This question will ask you to use the Heckscher-Ohlin model to analyze the effect of trade
liberalization between two countries. Assume that there are two production factors (capital and
labor) and two goods (cars and clothes). Assume furthermore that the car industry is capital
intensive and that the clothing industry is labor intensive. The two countries differ in their
relative endowments of capital to labor.
a) Explain how real factor prices (the real return to capital and labor) are determined in
autarky in the two countries. How do the relative factor prices differ between the two countries
depending on their relative endowments of capital and labor?
b) Now, explain how and why trade liberalization affects real factor prices in the two countries.
c) Which country will export what good and why?
d) Owners of different factors of production can differ in attitudes to trade liberalization
depending on how much they benefit in real terms. In the two countries that you have analyzed,
who will benefit and who will lose from trade liberalization?

In a far away country called Neverland, the economy
has the following structure:
Goods Market:
C = 200+ 0.8Y – 500r
I = 200 – 500r
G = 196
T = 20+ 0.25Y
Asset Market:
MP = 0.5Y – 250i
MS = 9890
T = 0.10
Labor Market:
Y = 1000
(a) Find the equilibrium real and nominal interest
rates, price level, consumption and investment.
(b) Suppose a deadly epidemic hits Neverland and the
government imposes a curfew in the evenings. The consequence of
this policy is a drop of 60 in autonomous consumption, that is the
consumption function is now C = 140 + 0.8Y – 500r. How will the
real and nominal interest rate, consumption and investment change
in the short-run (In the short-run prices are sticky at the level
you have found in part (a).)
(c) Yiğit, a prominent economic advisor to the
president of Neverland, believes in markets. He suggests an
immediate increase in government spending from 196 to 220 to boost
the economy. He also argues that such an increase in government
spending has to be financed later on by increasing taxes and fine
people of Neverland knows this fact. He claims that they will their
supply of labor that in turn will increase the full-employment
level of output to Y = 1025. He argues that people reach almost
same consumption level as before. What will be effects of this
policy on consumption, investment, the real and nominal interest
rates?
(d) Sena, also a prominent economist, but an advisor
to the opposition party in Neverland, is known for her Keynesian
tendencies. She argues that the wages are fixed at efficiency wage
level and no fine people of Neverland is willing to work for lower
real wages and no good firm in Neverland will be hiring more
workers. If she is right, what will happen to consumption,
investment, the real and nominal interest rate?

Suppose you have been tasked with regulating a single monopoly firm that sells 50-pound bags of concrete. The firm has fixed costs of $30 million per year and a variable cost of $6 per bag no matter how many bags are produced.
Instructions: Enter your answers as whole numbers. In part e, round your answer to 2 decimal places.
a. If this firm kept on increasing its output level, would ATC per bag ever increase?
(Click to select) Yes No
Is this a decreasing-cost industry?
(Click to select) Yes No
b. If you wished to regulate this monopoly by charging the socially optimal price, what price would you charge?
___ per bags
At that price, what would be the size of the firm’s profit or loss?
At that price, the firm's ___ equals ___ million
Would the firm want to exit the industry?
(Click to select) Yes No
c. You find out that if you set the price at $7 per bag, consumers will demand 30 million bags. How big will the firm’s profit or loss be at that price?
Answer: ___
d. If consumers instead demanded 40 million bags at a price of $7 per bag, how big would the firm’s profit or loss be?
At that price, the firm's ___ equals ___ million
e. Suppose that demand is perfectly inelastic at 40 million bags, so that consumers demand 40 million bags no matter what the price is. What price should you charge if you want the firm to earn only a fair rate of return? Assume as always that TC includes a normal profit.
