Consider a small open economy (e.g. the Netherlands) producing two goods, clothing and food. The clothing industry uses capital (K) and labor (LC) as inputs, while the food industry uses land (La) and labor (LF ) as factors of production. The production technologies for the two industries are given by QC = K ¼ LC 3/4 ; QF = La1/2L F 1/2 . Also, the country is endowed with 216 units of capital, 360 units of labor, and 9 units...

2. a. The home country is endowed with QF units of food and QC units of clothing. Use an indifference curve diagram to show this economy freely trading such that they export clothing and import food. On your diagram, indicate the endowment and consumption points as well as exports and imports, and the world relative price. Note: Only show the free trade equilibrium in part a. Do not show the autarky equilibrium. b. On your diagram, show what would happen...

1-Home produces 2 goods X and Y . Home country has two factors of production, Labor and Capital. All consumers at Home have preferences over two goods that can be represented by the utility function U(X,) =XY . The factor requirements per unit of output of the two goods are also fixed and they are shown in the following table: Good X Good Y Labour 1/3 2/3 Capital 2/3 1/3 Home country has 360 units of Labour and 600 units...
