What are reasons for trade?

Tastatur-Befehle:

= drehen,

= vor-/rückwärts,

= scrollen

Countries differences => comparative advantage

- Based of productivity (Ricardo)

- Based on endowments (HO)

OR Countries similarities

- Economies of scale

What is the source of comparative advantage for Ricardo?

Tastatur-Befehle:

= drehen,

= vor-/rückwärts,

= scrollen

Difference in production technologies across countries.

What are the main assumptions?

Tastatur-Befehle:

= drehen,

= vor-/rückwärts,

= scrollen

1) Perfect Competition

2) Labord only factor of production

3) Endowments given, confined to country but intersectorally mobile within each country

4) Full employment

5) 2 countries with different technologies (prod functions)

6) Constant returnes to labor

7) Numbers of goods : 2 or infinite

Def of labor requirement per unit output

Def of labor productivity

Tastatur-Befehle:

= drehen,

= vor-/rückwärts,

= scrollen

- ai : coeff : measures the quantity of labour necessary to produce one unit of good i

- the inverse of the labour requirement : 1/ai

What is the full employment condition?

Tastatur-Befehle:

= drehen,

= vor-/rückwärts,

= scrollen

L = ac*Qc + aa*Qa

Def of PPF

Tastatur-Befehle:

= drehen,

= vor-/rückwärts,

= scrollen

max possible production level for a givent techno and factor endowment

Def of the opportunity cost

Tastatur-Befehle:

= drehen,

= vor-/rückwärts,

= scrollen

the slope of the PPF indicates the opportunity cost of the two goods.

Def of world ppf

Tastatur-Befehle:

= drehen,

= vor-/rückwärts,

= scrollen

Juxtapose the country PPFs as the outer lines

What's is the budget constraint condition?

Tastatur-Befehle:

= drehen,

= vor-/rückwärts,

= scrollen

value of production = value of consumption

PaQa*PcQc = PaDa*PcDc

What's imply constant returns to scale?

Tastatur-Befehle:

= drehen,

= vor-/rückwärts,

= scrollen

P = MC = AC

The fisrt equalisation ~ profit maximisation no matter what structure is

The second equalisation ~ perfect competition

What are gains from trade?

1) Rise in wages: ability to buy cheaper imports.

2) Increase in consumtion : countries to consume outside their PPF.
