Transcribed Image Text:1. Solving the Heckscher-Ohlin Model - Trade Between Two Countries.
Your answer to this question should be qualitative and motivated by graphical analysis.
We look at trade between Japan and China Consumers in the two countries have identical,
homothetic preferences over two goods, textiles (t) and electronics (e). The two goods are
produced using labor (L) and capital (K) as inputs, according to the following production
functions:
Y. =
Y, =
where Y. (Y;) denotes the output produced in the electronics (textiles) sector, K. (K;) denotes
the amount of capital used for electronics (textiles) production, and Le (Lt) denotes the amount
of labor used for electronics (textiles) production. The technologies described by the production
functions are common across countries. The factor endowments of the two countries are given
by:
LC = 1000 ; K© = 200
L' = 100 ; K' = 200.
(d) Does opening to trade necessarily imply complete specialization? Why?
(e) How does opening to trade affect factor prices? Explain the intuition behind your answer.
For each country, draw a picture describing the equilibrium in the factor markets (in the
(*) plane). Indicate the equilibrium before and after trade opening.
(f) Who gains and who loses from trade liberalization?

- Only typed answer and don't use chat gpt and please answer correctly Suppose that you can sell as much of a product (in integer units) as you like at $61 per unit. Your marginal cost (MC) for producing the qth unit is given by: MC=9q This means that each unit costs more to produce than the previous one (e.g., the first unit costs 9*1, the second unit (by itself) costs 9*2, etc.). If fixed costs are $50, what is the optimal output level? Please specify your answer as an integer. Also, assume that a competitive firm has the total cost function: TC = 1q3 - 40q2 + 710q + 1700 Suppose the price of the firm's output (sold in integer units) is $550 per unit. Using tables (but not calculus) to find a solution, what is the total profit at the optimal output level? Please specify your answer as an integer.arrow_forwardI need typing clear urjent no chatgpt use i will give 5 upvotesarrow_forwardSolve from C to Earrow_forward

Also, the firm's average total cost is ATC = 100/Q + Q+ 10. (Price and costs are in dollars per tonne of coal, while quantity is in thousands of tonnes.) Calculate the monopolisť's profit-maximizing quantity, price, and profit. For a monopoly, profit maximization occurs where the marginal revenue equals the marginal cost. a. b.
