Capital Goods ch U A 0 N Consumer Goods B D Suppose two countries have exactly identical PPC, depicted by the curve AB above. Country Zebra chooses point Z, and country Xavier chooses point X. Other things being equal, which country do you expect to have a LOWER growth rate? Country Zebra. Country Xavier. O Since both countries have identical PPC, their growth rate will be exactly the same. O We do not have enough information to answer this question.
Suppose that two countries have the following endowments of Labor and Capital. Country A: 4000K 2000L Country B: 2000K 400L Which statement is true? Country B has less Labor and is relatively Capital-Endowed. Country B has more Capital and is relatively Capital-Endowed. Country A has more Labor and is relatively Capital-Endowed. Country A has less Capital and is relatively Capital-Endowed.
Assume that Trinbago is a small country that produces wine and motor vehicles, where motor vehicles are capital intensive. Trinbago is also capital intensive, and the standard Heckscher -Ohlin (H-O) assumptions hold. The other country in the model is Vincyland. What recommendations would you give?
Suppose that there are two countries; Country 1 and Country 2. Country 1 is capital abundant and country 2 is labor abundant. X is capital intensive and Y is labor intensive. Assume that Country 1 is a large country and country 2 is a small country. Answer the following question: Suppose that Country 1’s capital stock increases. Show the pregrowth and after growth production and consumption points on a figure. Clearly explain how the production and consumption of commodity X and Y would change after growth.
In the Heckscher-Ohlin-Vanek model, labour productivities in the production of a good in the different countries must be equal to each other must be equal to productivity of capital in producing the same good must be equal to each other and the capital productivities for the same good in different countries none of the above.
Two countries, Richland and Poorland, are described by the Solow model. They have the same Cobb-Douglas production function F(K, L) = AK"L¹-ª, but with different quantities of capital and labor. Richland saves 32% of its income, while Poorland saves 10 percent. Richland has population growth of 1% per year, while Poorland has population growth of 3% per year. (The numbers in this problem are chosen to be approximately realistic descriptions of rich and poor nations.) Both nations have technological progress at a rate of 2% per year and depreciation at a rate of 5% per year. Answer the following questions about Richland and Poorland. a. What is the per worker production function ƒ(k)? ƒ(k) = b. Solve for the steady-state value of output y*. y* : = units
Consider two countries, labeled 1 and 2. Each has the production function Y =A;K/3L2/3 i= 1, 2. If the only difference between the two countries is that A1>A2. O A. Country 2 will not produce anything, ceteris paribus. B. Country 2 will produce more than Country 1, ceteris paribus. O. Country 1 will produce more than Country 2, ceteris paribus. D. each will produce the same amount, ceteris paribus. O E. Not enough information is given.
Lucas paradox indicates that Labor productivity should increase in poor countries in low rates. The law of diminishing marginal productivity of labor indicates that an extra $1 of capital per worker will increase labor productivity more in a poor country where capital stock per worker is low. This implies that capital should flow from rich countries to the poor. The observation that capital doesn't flow from the rich to the poor countries hence contradicting the above theory is called the Lucas paradox. poor countries have the lowest level of inflation. poor countries grow fast but remain poor.
Suppose there are two contrasting impacts of a massive war, where a large number of countries were involved (e.g. World War II), on two large countries (Ping and Pong) in the world. Ping suffered a massive destruction of its capital stock relative to its population, while Pong suffered a huge loss of its population relative to its capital stock. That is, capital labour ratio suddenly fell in Ping and rose in Pong. For simplicity that all other things remained same. Assuming that both the country were in steady-state before the war, show the impact of the war on these two countries using a Solow diagram (i.e., capital labour ratio on the horizontal axis and output and savings on the vertical axis). Clearly draw and write your answer
Consider two countries, A and B. Assume that both countries have identical physical endowments of iron ore. In country A, any profits made from mining the iron ore are subject to confiscation by the government. While in country B, there is no such risk. How does the risk of expropriation affect the economic success of the two nations? Which nation would you think would be richer? Why? Use vocabulary learned in our textbook chapters to explain. Given your answer to the above, why is there widespread political support for government policies that expropriate resources from some groups for the sole purpose of handing them out to other groups? Consider this: How do uncontrolled ransomware attacks destabilize the rule of law?
According the Harrod-Domar and Solow models, what should countries do if they want to grow?
Suppose an economy uses only two inputs in production: capital and labour. The following table describes a production function, where y stands for output per worker and k is capital per worker.Suppose there are two countries, A and B. The economies of the two countries can be described by this production function. If Country A has initially a capital–labour ratio k = 0.167 and Country B has k = 0.412, show that an equal increase in capital produces more extra output in country A than in Country B.
