2. Answer the following question under the assumptions of the Heckscher-Ohlin model. There are two industries of production: clothing (Qd) and food (Qr). Clothing is capital-intensive and food is labor-intensive. There are two countries: Home and Foreign. Home is capital abundant and Foreign is labor abundant. (Same as in class) a.

PROBLEM 1 Consider the typical HO setting: 2 countries, the United States and Canada, produce two goods, maiz (corn) and cloth, with two factors, land and labor. Both countries share the same tastes and the same technology. Maiz production is land intensive, and therefore cloth production is labor intensive. Furthermore, resource endowments are as follows: in the US there are 100 units of labor and 100 of land, in Canada there are 60 units of labor and 90 of land. Which...

5 Heckscher-Ohlin Model. Suppose the production of cloth is labour intensive and the production of food is land intensive and suppose the United States (US) is labour abundant and Canada is land abundant. (a) Show how the US production possibility frontier (PPF) differs from the Canadian PPF. Briefly explain. (Use the general version of the PPF's) (b) Which country will have the lower price of cloth Pc relative...

Heckscher-Ohlin model Country A produces cellphone (C) and food (F) with capital and labor. Both sectors are perfect competitive. Capital (K) and labor (L) are not substitutable with each other. Thus, unit capital requirement and unit labor requirement are fixed. ??? = 3, ??? = 1, ??? = 2, ??? = 4, where ??? is the number of units of K-capital required to produce and unit of C-cellphone. a. Which sector is relatively capital intensive? Which sector is relatively labor...

Thank you so much.
Heckscher-Ohlin Model 2. There are two countries, Home and Foreign. There are two goods: beer (6) and corn (C), which are produced in both countries using capital (K) and labor (L). In both countries, it takes 2 units of labor and 1 unit of capital to make beer (a Lb = 2, akb = 1); and it takes 5 units of labor and 5 units of capital to make corn (ale = 5, ako = 5)....
