Consider international trade in a world with two countries, Home and Foreign, and a single good. At Home, the demand is D = 500 - 2P and the supply is S = 200 + 4P. At Foreign, the demand is D* = 600 - 2P and the supply is S* = 360 + 2P.

How do I find the consumer and producer surplus in autarky?

International Economics Question!! Home and Foreign are two countries that produce cloth and food, and trade these goods with each other. Both goods require labor as an input. Capital is an input for cloth production, and land is an input for food production. In other words, capital and land are specific factors for cloth and food production respectively. There are diminishing returns to labor. Suppose that the capital stock of Home increases due to an external shock. a) How would...

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...

Consider a specific-factors world consisting of two countries, Home (H) and Foreign (F), and two goods, coffee (C) and doughnuts (D). Home has 120 units of labour that are mobile between industries and immobile internationally, some capital owners that are involved in doughnut production and some landowners that are involved in coffee production. Capital and land is immobile between industries and internationally. The marginal product of labour in each industry is given by MPLC = 120 − LC and MPLD...

Consider the following model of trade between Home and Foreign. Assume throughout that those two countries are the only two countries in the world, at least for purposes of trade. There are two goods: Corn and Radio. Consumers always spend one-third of their income on Corn and the remainder on Radios. The only factor of production is labour. Each home country worker can produce 2 units of Corn or 3 units of Radios per unit of time, while each foreign...

Assume that there are two countries in the world: Home and Foreign. Home’s demand curve for wheat is D = 125 - 25P and supply curve is S = 20 + 40P. Suppose that Foreign is a much larger country, with domestic demand D* = 1100 - 300P and supply S* = 650 + 200P. a) What would the price of wheat be in case of no trade in Home? b) What would the price of wheat be in case...

Consider two countries, Home and Foreign, trading two goods, Rice and Car. The Home country is endowed with abundant capital relative to labor and hence has a comparative advantage to specialize in Cars; whereas the Foreign country is endowed with abundant labor and specializes in Rice. Once they start trading, the price of cars decreases, and the price of rice increases in the Foreign country. How would the increase in the price of rice affect the income of each of...

Consider two countries, Home and Foreign, with variables in Foreign denoted by asterisks ("*"). Let Y = 2,000, M = 400, P = 1.25; and Y* = 1,500, M* = 300, P* = 2.00. Suppose the demand for liquidity takes the same form in both countries, that is, L(R, Y) = L* (R, Y) = 2Y/100R (notice that the functions have the same form, but in each country the values of Y and R are different). (Advice: once again, don't...

There are two countries, Home and Foreign. The two countries are identical except that Home has a labor force of 100 and Foreign has a labor force of 200. Given this allocation of labor across Home and Foreign, the value of the marginal product of labor in Home is 30 and the value of the marginal product of labor in Foreign is 20. If labor were to be free to move, the wage in both countries would be25. fi mmigration...
