- Consider the scenario. The country Global-Land is really small and only has 500 In 2023 in total, they spend ECD 200,000 per year on food, ECD 200,000 on clothing, and ECD 100,000 on public and private transport. The economy of Global-Land has three industries: Juice, Clothing and Furniture. The output of each industry is disposed either on the domestic market or exported. The institutional sectors of the economy are the Household, Government, Corporate and Rest of the World, which either purchase the products of the industries or provide the factor services. The Juice and Clothing industries just bought ECD 2,000,000 worth of new machinery. Meanwhile, the Furniture is the largest industry. This industry has increased its inventory by ECD 200,000 as compared to the previous year. In addition to that, a Global-Land resident buys a new house worth ECD 300,000. Of course, the government of Global-Land knows how important education is. Therefore, it spends ECD 1,000,000 a year to run a public school and pay all the teachers who work there. In addition to that, the government contributes ECD 500,000 to fix broken roads and highways throughout the year. In addition, Global-Land total domestically produced goods and services is worth ECD 1,500,000 this year. In the meantime, the country also purchase foreign goods and services is worth ECD 1,000,000.

Canada can produce 10 particle boards or 25 plywood sheets in 100 hours. China can produce 20 particle boards or 50 plywood sheets in 100 hours. a. Does any country have absolute advantage in the production of the goods? b. Does any country have the comparative advantage in producing the particle boards? c.

- Suppose that each country currently has 140 workers and each decides to transfer some amount of labor toward its area of comparative advantage. The United States transfers 15 workers away from socks toward producing cell phones. Thailand transfers 28 workers away from cell phones toward producing socks.

How would you explain why the US ratio is so much lower than the Canada ratio?arrow_forwardQ54 Does free trade improve the living standards of all residents of a country? a. No, because the losses in the import-competing industries outweigh the gains from trade in the new export industries. b. Yes, because inefficient import-competing industries are replaced with efficient export industries. c. Probably not. In principle, the net gains from trade could be divided such that every individual is better off, but in practice, some individuals are likely to be worse off. d. No, because the benefits from free trade are only theoretical. e. Yes, definitely, because the gains from trade outweigh the losses in the import-competing industries.arrow_forward
