Essay Questions

1. Many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have very low labor productivities in many sectors, in

manufacturing and agriculture. They often despair of even trying to attempt to build their industries unless it is done in an autarkic context, behind protectionist walls because they do not believe they can compete with more productive industries abroad. Discuss this issue in the context of the

Ricardian model of comparative advantage.

Answer: The Ricardian model of comparative advantage argues that every country must have a comparative advantage in some product (assuming there are more products than countries).

However, the Ricardian model is not a growth model, and cannot be used to identify

growth nodes or linkages.

2. In 1975, wage levels in South Korea were roughly 5% of those in the United States. It is obvious

that if the United States had allowed Korean goods to be freely imported into the United States at

that time, this would have caused devastation to the standard of living in the United States, because no producer in this country could possibly compete with such low wages. Discuss this assertion in the context of the Ricardian model of comparative advantage.

Answer: Regardless of relative wage levels, the United States would be able to provide its populace with a higher standard of living than would be possible without trade. Also, low wages

tend to be associated with low productivities.

3. The evidence cited in the chapter using the examples of the East Asia New Industrializing Countries

suggests that as international productivities converge, so do international wage levels. Why do you suppose this happened for the East Asian NICs? In light of your answer, what do you think is likely to happen to the relative wages (relative to those in the United States) of China in the coming decade?

Explain your reasoning.

Answer: Following the logic of the Ricardian model of comparative advantage, the East Asian countries played to their respective comparative advantages. This allowed the world

demand to provide excess demands for their relatively abundant labor, which in turn

tended to raise these wages. If China follows the same pattern, their wages levels should

also be expected over time to converge to those in their industrialized country markets.

4. When we examine the 2 Good 2 Country version of the Ricardian model of comparative advantage,

we note that comparative advantage is totally determined by physical productivity ratios. Changes in wage rates in either country cannot affect these physically determined comparative advantages, and hence cannot affect, which product will be exported by which country. However, when more than

2 goods are added to the model (still with 2 countries), changes in wage rates in one or the other

country can in fact determine which good or goods each of the countries will export. How can you explain this anomaly?

Answer: This is not really an anomaly. As long as only two goods exist, then as long as trade takes place, each country must have a comparative advantage in one of them (or none).

However, if there are more goods than countries, then the physical productivity definition

of comparative advantage becomes ambiguous. Changes in relative wage rates will shift

the international competitiveness along the “chain of comparative advantage.”

Chapter 3 Labor Productivity and Comparative Advantage—The Ricardian Model 29 5. An examination of the Ricardian model of comparative advantage yields the clear result that trade is

(potentially) beneficial for each of the two trading partners since it allows for an expanded

consumption choice for each. However, for the world as a whole the expansion of production of one product must involve a decrease in the availability of the other, so that it is not clear that trade is

better for the world as a whole as compared to an initial situation of non-trade (but efficient

production in each country). Are there in fact gains from trade for the world as a whole? Explain.

Answer: If we were to combine the production possibility frontiers of the two countries to create a single world production possibility frontier, then it is true that any change in production

points (from autarky to specialization with trade) would involve a tradeoff of one good for

another from the world’s perspective. In other words, the new solution cannot possibly

involve the production of more of both goods. However, since we know that each country

is better off at the new solution, it must be true that the original points were not on the

trade contract curve between the two countries, and it was in fact possible to make some

people better off without making others worse off, so that the new solution does indeed

represent a welfare improvement from the world’s perspective.

6. It is generally claimed that a movement from autarky to free trade consistent with Ricardian

comparative advantage increases the economic welfare of each of the trade partners. However, it may be demonstrated that under certain circumstances, not everyone in each country is made better off. Illustrate such a case.

Answers: (a) If inter-generational, or economic growth considerations are taken into account, then

a country may end up specializing in a good that has no or few growth linkages with

the rest of the economy (e.g. an “enclave” sector).

(b) If some of the residents of a country have tastes biased toward their exportable, then

they may suffer due to the trade-affected increase in the market price of the

exportable good.

7. It is generally claimed that state trading, or centrally controlled trading will tend to reach a lower

economic welfare than would be reached by allowing market forces to determine trade flow

directions and terms of trade. Illustrate a counter-example to this proposition.

Answer: In general, if we begin with any suboptimal distortion, the theory of the second best tells us that an additional “distortion” may move a country in the correct direction of a welfare

improvement. For example, If a country has an overvalued exchange rate (that is, its

currency is overpriced in the foreign exchange markets), it is possible that it will find itself

in an autarkic equili brium (that is, it might “overprice itself out of the international

market”). In such a case it is easy to demonstrate that if the government exports the goods

in which the country enjoys comparative advantage, and imports the other (bypassing

market price s and mechanisms), the country’s economic welfare will improve.

8. The Ricardian proposition that international trade will benefit any country (“gains from trade”) as

long as the world terms of trade do not equal its autarkic relative prices is a straightforward and

powerful concept. Nevertheless, it is impossible to demonstrate empirically. Why?

Answer: This is because there is no way of knowing exactly what are, or would have been, the autarky MRTs or MRSs. This is because there is no single example in the world of

a country that is totally unengaged in international trade.

6. Given the following information:

U.S. Croatia

Soy 300 20

Toys 100 20

(a) What is the marginal cost of a toy in each country?

Answer: 3 units of Soy in the U.S., and 1 Soy unit in Croatia.

(b) How might you demonstrate (quantitatively) that a country with absolute productivity advantage

in a product may find that its production is more costly than in the other (unproductive) country?

Answer: The U.S. have absolute productivity advantage in toys. Nevertheless, toys are three times more costly than they are in Croatia.

(c) Demonstrate the fact that trade produces imports (indirectly) cheaper, even in the relatively

unproductive country.

Answer: In Croatia, one unit of wheat will cost one toy. However, if the terms of trade fall between the two autarkic price ratios (a condition necessary for both countries to enjoy gains from

trade), say at 2 Soy units per toy, then Croatia will gain each Soy unit with less of

a sacrifice of toy production.

第一章 1.为什么说在决定生产和消费时,相对价格比绝对价格更重要? 答案提示:当生产处于生产边界线上,资源则得到了充分利用,这时,要想增加某一产品的生产,必须降低另一产品的生产,也就是说,增加某一产品的生产是有机会机本(或社会成本)的。生产可能性边界上任何一点都表示生产效率和充分就业得以实现,但究竟选择哪一点,则还要看两个商品的相对价格,即它们在市场上的交换比率。相对价格等于机会成本时,生产点在生产可能性边界上的位置也就确定了。所以,在决定生产和消费时,相对价格比绝对价格更重要 2.仿效图1—6和图1—7,试推导出Y商品的国民供给曲线和国民需求曲线。 答:参见教材第一章第二节内容,将图1-6a中,以横坐标表示y商品的供给,以纵坐标表示x商品供给,得出相应生产可能性边界线,然后将图1-6b中,以横坐标表示y商品供给,以纵坐标表示y的相对价格,通过类似推导可得出国民供给曲线,国民需求曲线作类似推导可得。 3.在只有两种商品的情况下,当一个商品达到均衡时,另外一个商品是否也同时达到均衡? 答:两种商品同时达到均衡。一种商品均衡时,由其相对价格,机会成本,需求可知另一种商品得相对价格,机会成本和需求。 4.如果生产可能性边界是一条直线,试确定过剩供给(或需求)曲线。 答案提示:略,参见书上 5.如果改用Y商品的过剩供给曲线(B国)和过剩需求曲线(A国)来确定国际均衡价格,那么所得出的结果与图1—13中的结果是否一致? 答案提示:国际均衡价格将依旧处于贸易前两国相对价格的中间某点。 6.说明贸易条件变化如何影响国际贸易利益在两国间的分配。 答案提示:一国出口产品价格的相对上升意味着此国可以用较少的出口换得较多的进口产品,有利于此国贸易利益的获得,不过,出口价格上升将不利于出口数量的增加,有损于出口国的贸易利益;与此类似,出口商品价格的下降有利于出口商品数量的增加,但是这意味着此国用较多的出口换得较少的进口产品。对于进口国来讲,贸易条件变化对国际贸易利益的影响是相反的。 7.如果国际贸易发生在一个大国和一个小国之间,那么贸易后,国际相对价格更接近于哪一个国家在封闭下的相对价格水平?

第三章 要素禀赋理论 国际经济学 教案

第三章要素禀赋理论 上章介绍了技术条件差异对国际贸易的决定作用,这章将放宽第二个条件,即放松各国相对要素禀赋相同这一假设,从要素禀赋差异的角度探讨国际贸易的起因与影响。要素禀赋理论是由两位瑞典经济学赫克歇尔和俄林师生提出,后经萨缪尔森等人不断完善,该理论又称赫克歇尔-俄林模型或H-O模型。 第一节 H-O理论的基本内容 一、H-O模型的提出 1)李嘉图的比较利益说认为,比较利益产生自各国之间劳动生产率的差异。 国际贸易←价格差←成本差异←劳动生产率的相对差异 2)后人以机会成本差异代替了劳动成本差异,形成了比较利益学说的当代理论的解释。但仍未说明劳动生产率差异产生的原因。 3)如果两国相同要素的生产率相同,贸易是否会产生。 H-O模型从要素存量差异的角度对国际贸易进行分析。其出发点有两个: 1)不同国家的要素存量的比例是不同的; 2)不同商品的生产所使用的要素比例是不同的。 二、要素禀赋和要素密集度 1、要素禀赋:指一国所拥有的两种生产要素的相对比例。如果一国的要素禀赋(K/L)大于他国,则称该国为资本(相对)丰富或劳动(相对)稀缺的国家;反过来,他国则为劳动丰富或资本稀缺的国家。也可从价格的角度进行定义:如果一国劳动与资本的价格之比(w/r)大于另一国的劳动与价格之比,则称该国为资本丰富型国家;也即一国劳动的相对价格高高于另一国,则该国为资本丰富型国家。 图中,E A、E B分别表示A、B两国的要素总量组合ρA>ρB ,故A国为资本丰富的国家,B国则为劳动丰富的国家。 2、要素密集度:指生产某种产品所投入两种生产要素的比例。如果生产A商品的资本和劳动投入之比(K/L)大于生产B商品的资本和劳动投入之比,那么A商品就是资本密集型产品,而B商品是劳动密集型产品。要素密集度这也是一个相对的概念,与生产要素的绝对投入量无关。 定义:kx=Kx/Lx;ky=Ky/Ly,若kx>ky,则X是资本密集型产品,Y是劳动密集型产品在H-O理论中,两种商品的要素密集度是给定的,不随着要素价格的变化而变化;也就是说,即便要素价格变化导致两种商品生产的要素投入之比变化,也不会改变两种商品的要素密集度。

Overview of Section II: International Trade Policy Section II of the text is comprised of four chapters: Chapter 8The Instruments of Trade Policy Chapter 9The Political Economy of Trade Policy Chapter 10Trade Policy in Developing Countries Chapter 11Controversies in Trade Policy n Section II Overview Trade policy issues figure prominently in current political debates and public policy discussions. The first two chapters of this section of the text are concerned with the instruments of trade policy and the arguments for free trade and managed trade. The second two chapters consider these concepts in the context of specific sets of countries that face common problems. Throughout, the use of case studies provides the student with real world examples that clearly illustrate the theoretical arguments. Chapter 8 discusses various instruments of trade policy including tariffs, quotas, voluntary export restraints, and local content requirements. The effects of these policies on prices and trade volumes are determined in the context of a partial equilibrium framework. The chapter reviews the analytical tools of consumer and producer surplus, and uses these tools to consider the welfare effects of various protectionist measures. The specific incidents of trade restrictions presented as case studies include import quotas on sugar entering United States markets, voluntary export restraints on Japanese autos, and oil import quotas. Chapter 9 presents the set of ideas known as the political economy of trade theory. These ideas enable you to understand why certain trade restrictions exist, despite the force of general economic arguments which suggest that they reduce aggregate welfare. Possible motivations for trade restrictions are identified as those which increase national welfare, such as the optimum tariff, and those which foster either income
