Consider two countries, Home and Foreign, engaged in free
international trade. Each country produces two products, A and B,
using Capital (K) and Labour (L). Capital and Labour are mobile
between sectors, but are immobile internationally. Home exports
product A, which is relatively capital intensive in
production.
Home experiences growth in the form of an increase in its capital
stock. The following questions ask you to explain various
consequences of this growth. In doing so, you must provide your
detailed reasoning in each answer.
(a) Explain what happens to Home’s quantities of outputs of the
two products, if the world price ratio were to initially remain
unchanged.
(b) If world prices now adjust to their new equilibrium levels,
explain what happens to Home’s terms of trade.
if u can be specific that would be nice , thanks!
