QUESTION 19 The difference between the Ricardian model of trade and the immobile factor model is that: O Ricardo assumed one factor of production while the immobile factor model assumed two factors of production, labor and capital. O Ricardo considered the countryâ s workforce as an endogenous variable, while the immobile factor model considered labor supply as exogenous. O Ricardo assumed a barter economy while the immobile factor model introduced money into the system. O Ricardo assumed labor was immobile between industries, while the immobile factor model considered labor to be immobile only between countries. O Ricardo assumed labor employed in each sector to be endogenous, but the immobile factor model assumed labor employed in each sector to be exogenous.

Use the circuit of production to explain the efficiency of the capitalist mode of production.
Economists John Maynard Keynes and John Hicks argued that, if hedgers tend to holdshort positions and speculators tend to hold long positions, the futures price of an assetwill be below the expected spot price. This is because speculators require compensationfor the risks they are bearing. They will trade only if they can expect to make money onaverage. Hedgers will lose money on average, but they are likely to be prepared toaccept this because the futures contract reduces their risks This is from John Maynard Keynes. My question is i dont understand this statement. Why is the future price of an asset to be below the expected spot price if speculators are the main determinant of the future price, they have a long contract which means they will earn money if the spot price is above the expected spot price

14. For this question, assume that equilibrium output is determined in the zZ - Y diagram. Further assume that policy makers' goals are (1) to achieve balanced trade (i.e., NX = 0); and (2) to achieve a target level of output, say Y". Now, suppose that the initial level of equilibrium output is equal to Y' (i.e., Y = Y") and that a trade deficit exists at this initial level of output. Which of the following policy actions would most likely enable the policy makers to achieve their two goals simultaneously? A) a reduction in government spending B) convince the country's trading partners to pursue policies that will cause an increase in foreign income (Y *) C) a reduction in the real exchange rate D) a reduction in taxes E) a simultaneous increase in government spending and reduction in the real exchange rate F) none of the above
Apply the The Ricardian model of international trade to the following questions Suppose that the investor (whose name is Avril) is risk loving with b = and 5 utility-of-money function v (c) = c². Let p = 2, t = 3,8 = 1, re = ₁ 13 (a) What is Avrilís contingent consumption if x = 0? (b) What is Avrilís contingent consumption if x = 10? (Express the consumption level in each state as a fraction, not a decimal.) (c) Draw Avriliş budget constraint in a CC diagram. Be sure to ex-plain how you constructed your Ögure. (d) Show that Avril has the same expected utility at x = 10 and x = 0. Add an indifference curve to your diagram to illustrate this fact. | (e) Using your diagram, explain why Avril will choose x = 0 if the 5 tax rate increases above t = and will choose x = 10 if it and w = 10. decreases below t = 5 13
