Consider the two investments shown below, only one of which can be chosen. They are one-shot investments. Calculate AW_2-1 assuming 14.7914 interest rate.

Consider the Heckscher-Ohlin model with two countries, Home and Foreign, and two goods, carpets and tableware. There are two factors, capital and labour, each of which can be used in the production of either good. Home is capital abundant whereas Foreign is labour abundant. Let PC and PT represent the prices of carpets and tableware, respectively. Assume that under autarky we have (PC/PT) Home < (PC/PT) Foreign. Moreover, assume that there is some degree of substitutability in production between capital and labour.

(a) Given the information above, which good is capital intensive and which good is labour intensive?

(b) Consider free trade between Home and Foreign. What is the trade pattern, i.e., which country exports and imports which good?

(c) As a result of trade, what happens to production of carpets and tableware (increase or decrease) in each country?

(d) As a result of trade, explain what happens to wage/rental ratio in each country as well as labour/capital ratio in each industry in each country?

(e) Who will support and who will oppose to free trade in each country?

(f) Now suppose that some of the workers from Home country migrate to Foreign country. (Assume that both goods continue to be produced after migration and goods prices are constant, i.e., does not change). Which factors benefit and which factors lose in each country? What happens to the production of each good in each country?

The Central Bank is keeping a fixed exchange rate at E_par such that the domestic currency is overvalued by purchasing domestic currency. What does the Central Bank do to demand and/or supply of foreign currency?   Does this resemble the case of Lebanon or China?

Consider a simple financial market for a closed economy with government, such as might be crudely representative of the world as a whole. a) Construct a diagram to represent this market and note and explain your choice of the variables on the vertical and horizontal axes.

b) Draw the saving supply curve and the investment demand curve, indicating and explaining which variables shift them to the right and left and why.

c) Imagine that this market faces simultaneous pessimism shocks. There are declines in what level of future income is expected by households and in the net rate of return on new physical capital that is expected by investors. Illustrate and explain how these shocks change the diagram and how you would expect the yield on long maturity assets to change.

d) Then use your diagram to further explain how this result might be affected in the short run by a rise in government spending, and hence a decline in government saving or an increase in sovereign debt.
