The Chinese government classifies this transaction as: a service import. a service export. an import of a good. an export of a good. “Value-added” in the context of international trade refers to: the additional value a worker provides to a firm when she is hired. the difference between the value of exports and the value of imported inputs used in producing exports. the value added by import brokers when they mark up the price of the products. the value added by being able to purchase goods in a competitive market. If a country (say, India) is technologically inferior compared to the other (say, USA) in all lines of production of computers and textiles, and India’s inferiority is least in production of textiles and greatest in production of computers then: India has absolute advantage in all goods compared to the USA. India has absolute disadvantage in all goods compared to the USA, it can still have comparative advantage in some good and can export those. India does not have absolute advantage in all goods, but India has comparative advantage in textile and export those. India does not have absolute advantage in all goods, but India has comparative advantage in computers and export those. The ratio of a country’s trade to GDP is measured by: the ratio of the average value of imports and exports (for goods and services) to the country’s GDP. the ratio of the value of imports and exports (for goods and services) to the country’s GDP. the ratio of the trade surplus to the country’s GDP. the ratio of the trade balance to the country’s GDP. More than one-half of migration is: From OECD countries to non-OECD countries. From OECD countries to other OECD countries. From non-OECD countries to OECD countries. From non-OECD countries to non-OECD countries. Over the past Century, how have U.S. exports changed? The US has always focused primarily on capital and consumer goods, and not much has changed in the last Century. The US has steadily increased its exports of raw agricultural materials. The US still exports a larger share of agricultural and raw materials than consumer and capital goods. The US has steadily shifted away from exports of agricultural products and raw materials. Which of the following is an example of foreign direct investment (FDI) flow? the purchase of stocks or bonds directly from an international dealer. the purchase of foreign government bonds by domestic investors. the purchase of stocks or bonds directly from an international dealer. accounts denominated in foreign currency in foreign banks owned by domestic depositors. The Ricardian model focuses on how differences in _______ influence international trade patterns. Absolute costs Comparative costs Transportation costs Demand Which of the following explains why China is a threat to manufacturers in industrial countries, whereas Haiti is not? China has low wages. A higher marginal productivity of labor in China. Closer proximity to markets in China. Prices are higher in China Suppose that the number of workers doubles in Home, but the marginal product of labor for wheat and cloth remains the same. There will be a parallel shift inward of the Home PPF, and the no-trade relative price of wheat will increase. There will be a parallel shift inward of the Home PPF, and the no-trade relative price of wheat will decrease. There will be a parallel shift outward of the Home PPF, and the no-trade relative price of wheat will decrease. There will be a parallel shift inward of the Home PPF, and the no-trade relative price of wheat will remain the same. Suppose that there is technological progress in the wheat industry such that Home can produce more wheat with the same amount of labor. There will be a parallel shift inward of the Home PPF, and the no-trade relative price of wheat will increase. There will be a parallel shift outward of the Home PPF, and the no-trade relative price of wheat will decrease. There will be a shift outward in the direction of the wheat production of the Home PPF, and the no-trade relative price of wheat will decrease. There will be a shift outward in the direction of the cloth production of the Home PPF, and the no-trade relative price of wheat will increase. Why is the specific-factors model referred to as a short-tun model? Land and capital are specific to particular sectors, whereas labor is mobile between sectors. Land is specific to a particular sector, whereas capital and labor are mobile between sectors. Each factor of production, capital, land and labor, is specific to a particular sector. All factors of production, capital, land and labor, is specific to a particular sector. Foreign produces computers and wheat, using capital (which is specific to computers), land (which is specific to wheat), and labor (which is mobile between the two sectors). Foreign has 100 workers and 100 units of land but only 10 units of capital. It has the same production functions as Home. The no-trade relative price of wheat will be ______ in Home in Foreign, since Home has ______ than in Foreign. higher, more land relative to capital. lower, more land relative to capital. higher, less land relative to capital. lower, less land relative to capital. When trade is opened, the relative price of wheat in Foreign will _____, and the relative price of wheat in Home will ______. rise, fall rise, rise fall, rise fall, fall The rental on land will ____ and rental on capital ____ in Home. fall, rise rise, rise rise, fall fall, fall Part II : Short Answer Questions( Total points: 60) (Total Points : 30) The United States requires 20 hours of labor to produce 1 ton of steel and 30 hours of labor to produce 1,000 board feet of lumber. In Canada, 20 hours of labor are required to produce 1 ton of steel and 25 hours of labor to produce 1,000 board feet of lumber. Which country has a comparative advantagein each line of production? Which country has absolute advantage in each line of production? Graph the production possibilities frontier for the US. What is the no-trade relative price of steel in the US. Graph the production possibilities frontier for Canada. What is the no-trade relative price of steel in Home. (Total Points: 30) Home produces two goods, computers and wheat, for which capital is specific to computers, land is specific to wheat, and labor is mobile between the two industries. Home has 100 workers and 100 units of capital but only 10 units of land. Similar to Home, Foreign also produces computers and corn using capital, which is specific to computers; land, which is specific to corn; and labor, which is mobile between the two sectors. Foreign has 100 workers and 100 units of land but only 10 units of capital. It has the same production functions as Home. Suppose that when Home opens up to international trade, the price of computers rises. In the accompanying diagram, shift the appropriate curve to show this change, holding the price of wheat constant. Will the no-trade relative price of wheat be higher in Home or in Foreign? Explain why you expect this outcome. When trade is opened, what happens to the relative price of wheat in Foreign and to the relative price of corn in Home? Predict the effect of opening trade on the rental on land in each country, which is specific to corn. What about the rental on capital, which is specific to computers?
