1. Consider a world in which there are two countries: Big Industrialized Country (BIC) and Small Developing Country (SDC). BIC has a labor force of 500,000 and SDC has a labor force of 80,000. There are two types of goods in this world—food (F) and manufactures (M), and they are both produced using only labor. The technology for producing each of these goods in each country is described by the unit labor requirements in the following table
 

Food Manufactures
BIC 2 5
SDC 4 20
The world relative demand for food is given by: !!

(b) Calculate the opportunity cost and relative autarky price of food in each country.Then determine the goods in which each country has an absolute and comparative advantage. Record your answers in the table below.
 
BIC SDC
Opportunity CostF
(PF/PM) in autarky
Absolute Advantage in
Comparative Advantage in
 

(c) On the graph below, construct the world relative supply curve describing the amount of food produced relative to the amount of manufactures. (Be clear about the intercepts, the points at which the RS curve is bent or kinked, and the point at which it intersects the relative demand curve RD).

(d) Assuming the countries do trade, will they completely specialize? Using your answers from (b) and (c), briefly explain why or why not.
 

• What will the pattern of specialization be?
BIC produces ______________
SDC produces ______________
• What will the world relative price be?

(f) Sketch and label the
consumption possibility frontiers after trade on the graphs in part (a).
 

(g) Suppose BIC considers SDC’s ruling elite to be brutal dictators, and to punish them,BIC refuses to trade with SDC. Leaving aside the question of whether this would in fact weaken SDC’s rulers, would it reduce SDC’s consumption possibilities?
 

Yes / No
Would BIC sacrifice its own consumption in doing so?
Yes / No

Case Approach

Scientific Methodology

We use best scientific approach to solve case study as recommended and designed by best professors and experts in the World. The approach followed by our experts are given below:

Defining Problem

The first step in solving any case study analysis is to define its problem carefully. In order to do this step, our experts read the case two three times so as to define problem carefully and accurately. This step acts as a base and help in building the structure in next steps.

Structure Definition

The second step is to define structure to solve the case. Different cases has different requirements and so as the structure. Our experts understand this and follow student;s university guidelines to come out with best structure so that student will receive best mark for the same.

Research and Analysis

This is the most important step which actually defines the strength of any case analysis. In order to provide best case analysis, our experts not only refer case materials but also outside materials if required to come out with best analysis for the case.

Conclusion & Recommendations

A weak conclusion or recommendations spoil the entire case analysis. Our expert know this and always provide good chunks of volume for this part so that instructors will see the effort put by students in arriving at solution so as to provide best mark.

2. In a Ricardian world, with labor the only paid factor of production, the following table gives the constant labor requirements per unit of producing different commodities in countries X and Z.
 
Airplanes(A) Bicycles(B) Fertilizer(F) Radios (R) Shoes (S) T-Shirts(T)
 
Country
X
10,000 30 20 20 10 18
Country
Z
120,000 45 225 180 15 18
 

(a) Suppose the wage rate in country X is wX =$10, in country Z is wZ =$2, and that there are no transportation costs. In a free-trade equilibrium
 

• Which goods are produced only by country X?
• Which goods are produced only by country Z?
• Which goods, if any, may be produced by both countries but may still be traded?
• Which goods, if any, are non-traded?
 

(b) Now suppose that it costs $1,000 to transport one airplane, and that it costs $150 to transport one unit of any other good from one country to the other. Now
 

• Which goods are produced only by country X?
• Which goods are produced only by country Z?
• Which goods, if any, may be produced by both countries but may still be traded?
• Which goods, if any, are non-traded?

3. Assume that labor is the only factor in the production of electronics and clothing in the U.S. and Mexico. Suppose that unit labor requirements in each industry, for each country, is as shown in the following table
 
Computer
Chips
Shirts
U.S. 2 4
Mexico 20 10
Suppose that the wage rate in the U.S. is wUS = 5 $/hr.
 

(a) For what range of Mexican wages will the two countries trade?
(i.e. what is the range of possible equilibrium wages in Mexico under perfect competition and free trade?) (Express in terms of $.)
 

Suppose that Mexican labor productivity doubles in both industries.
 
(b) Now what is the range of Mexican wages under free trade and perfect competition?
(c) TRUE OR FALSE (Explain your answer briefly). After the rise in Mexico’s
productivity, Mexico will have a cost advantage in both industries, and therefore, the
U.S. will not be able to export anything unless U.S. wages are reduced.

4. Migration.The graph below shows the MPL as a function of the amount of labor for two economies: Home and Foreign. Home’s origin is at the bottom left corner and Foreign’s is at the bottom right. Home country workers initially earn a real wage of 20.
 

What would be the effect of free labor mobility on
 

• Home’s wage.
• Foreing’s wage.
• Aggregate output.
