Consider an economy that produces food and houses. Assume the economy is working efficiently. We can produce more houses without reducing food production if there is a technological improvement in the growing of crops (ex. better genetic technology that allows the economy to produce more food for a given quantity of resources like land and labor)
True
False
Homework Answers
True
since we are given that the
economy is producing efficiently,therefore the production
combination lies on the Production Possibility Frontier (PPF).
Suppose initially the economy is producing at point A. Given that
there is a technological development in food production, we pivot
the PPF and increases the amount of food it can produce. The
economy has options to produce at a point where the food production
remains the same as before but the house production goes up. One
example of such a point is point B. There the given statement is
true.

Ricardo’s theory of trade suggests that it makes sense for a country to specialize in the production of those products that it produces most efficiently and to buy the products that it produces less efficiently from other countries, even if this means that the country is buying products that in reality, it could produce more efficiently itself. This means that Ricardo showed that a country can derive advantages by trade even though it has an absolute advantage in producing all products. The Heckscher-Ohlin theory of ...
